I have no boot diskette floppy or CD. So dear friends how can i rescue my linux and make that previous loading from grub loader?????????????........

Pop the RedHat disk back into the drive and there should be a "rescue" mode somewhere in the setup. This will bring you to a command prompt (looks like DOS). You'll want to do the following:
Type "grub" to enter a utility where you can repair/install grub then...
a) type "find /boot/grub/stage1" (no quotes), this will output where your root is. You'll need this info for step b.
b) "root (hd0,1)" (obviously update with the results of step a.
c) setup (hd0)
d) quit
e) reboot
