Removing the grub prompt

[newbiepg]

Guys I tried to install Redhat 8.0, it crashed mid way
I cant reinstall it ,I am stuck with a grub prompt
I had set the bios settings with
first boot device as cdrom
second boot device as floppy

How do I remove the grub prompt to get the cd to start installing?

Could you share the article that you found regarding this? I'm experiencing the same problem and cannot get Linux reinstalled.

Actually, I found something on the web that explained a way to remove the Master Boot Record where grub is starting from.

For those of us unfortunate enough to have the many Windows Startup disks lying around from a previous installation of one of their operating systems, FDISK has an undocumented function that will wipe the MBR from any hard drive. If you type the following from a DOS command prompt it will remove the MBR with few problems (amazingly enough from a MS product)

FDISK /MBR

Just FYI!

I was getting this message first
cmos checksum error
defaults loaded

and then it would change the default first boot device to floppy

then the grub prompt came

I had to change the first boot device and then the grub prompt went away
