Yesterday I installed Windows Xp again due to some problem on XP. After that I tried to setup grub using Live CD of ubuntu 9.10. But I failed....
how I tried:
Application>Access.....>Terminal
Then..
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
where I get (hd0,*) *=1,2,3,4 etc..
THen
grub> root (hd0,*)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
By this procedure I recovered my ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS...but it is not working on ubuntu 9.10
what to do? So far I know it is GRUB2...May be for this reason it is not working...
Waitting for reply...
Need more info about your setup so I can give you two precise commands to run to reinstall grub. Let's get a better look at your setup & boot process. Boot the Ubuntu Live CD/USB. Choose "try ubuntu without any changes", when the desktop loads come back here and do the following:
1. Download the boot info script. There is a link in my signature.
2. Once downloaded move the boot info script to the desktop.
3. Open a terminal and run the command
Code:
sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh
This will create a RESULTS.txt file on the desktop. Paste the entire contents of that file back here. Once pasted highlight all text and click the # sign on the toolbar to place code tags around the text.
See here for more info on the boot info script.
