Well This is the story
My box infected virus and it hurt FAT so I lost my WinXP. (Drive D:)
I installed it by booting to Win98. (Drive C:)
And as I gussed I lost my Linux (on hda2)!
I though I have a Boot disket and I can repair Boot manager (Grub)
I when I boot by disket I got an Error!
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel
I've searched Google but almost nothing.
at boot time when it alerts "Press <return> (or wait 10 seconds) to boot your Red Hat Linux system from
/dev/hda2 ..."
I use the following commands but I fail each time. It will not find the kernel.
root (hd0,1) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 init=/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.677.img
I'm not sure if I'm using these commands correctly specially about "root" command
somewhere I saw recommendation about root (hd0,4) but I don't know about the number .
Please guide me who to set grub (may be correct mbr to point /boot/boot.B but how?)

I am a lilo person myself.. but try to get into your linux partition and run
grub-install /dev/hda (or w/e HD device) I think.. Serhat
get a live cd
boot mount your nix partion CODE mount /dev/hdXX /mnt/LINUX chroot to said mnt CODE chroot /mnt/LINUX then install grub CODE emerge grub (thats for gentoo) then CODE nano /boot/grub/grub.conf edit that so it is correct CODE default 0 # How many seconds to wait before the default listing is booted. timeout 30 title=Linux # Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel.xxxxx root=/dev/hda3 reboot and your grub should be fixed
It seems you're new to grub, important to know:
hd0,0 = hda1 hd0,1 = hda2 etc... (just for grub)  cheers sp00fy
thanks all I think with combination of solutions of Serhat & buzzons It'll solve.
I'll try it @Serhat: the problem is my boot floppy is not able to find the kernel. It seems buzzons guide who to do load it with a live-cd @buzzons: grub.conf is ok as following QUOTE # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=60 fallback 0 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz #hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img title Microsoft Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 I think I should instal it again @sp00fy: Lol I knew that My Linux is instlled on hda2 partition 
I fixed grub but ...
anyway I changed myway and installed Redhat 9.0 but as usual nothing went straight forward. I've problem with X as followd CODE XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.3.0-2) Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.20-3bigmem i686 [ELF] Build Date: 27 February 2003 Build Host: porky.devel.redhat.com Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.

Try to get the correct driver for your card and ammend the XF86Config file to point at it in the device driver section.
If your knew to linux, then scrap that install
its f'ked, you can grab almost anyone XF86Config / XOrg config file and it should technically work As buzzons said about grub, just get a live CD and copy its /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and copy that to your /mnt/LINUX/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file...
