    Re: Howto : GfxBoot ( Grub like suse )

    Ok....I was impatient and screwed up again...My Windows drive is now no longer even readable (mountable) let alone boot able for my comp...ugh....I tried super-grub disk along with windows repair disk (fixboot and fixmbr). I think I have to reinstall windows again. Does anyone know a good recovery program to retrieve files off my hard drive. Or are they lost forever?

    Well, I don't know whether knoppix can read ntfs (but I reckon so). Boot that and see whether you can mount it...

    poor guy...I's the baptism of fire we all almost had; makes me remember how easy it is to screw things off!

    Seems sudo in fact wasn't so "perfect", since today we all use it so lightly! (BUT _still_ IMHO it's one of the greatest killer-apps).

    Hey, Ubumby, you may also try UltimateBootCD and see if it helps: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

    hey guys, thanks for the replies....After spending hours of time I can't believe I fixed it....still no Gfxboot though....don't want to try because of the uuid thing yet. Knoppix wouldn't mount it, and Windows repair disk must have pointed all the commands to another drive (e.g. chkdisk output was "The volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverabe problems ---and fixboot wouldn't help)I guess when I ran fixboot it was pointing to my G: drive so by adding "fixboot C:" solved it...All that time for something so simple (P.S. Ultimate boot looks awesome by the way)

    I tried, this is what happened:

    Code:
    sudo grub
    
    grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
    
    Error 15: File not found
    
    grub>

    But I have double checked and the file is there...

    Do you have a separate boot partition?

    To all you who are so impatient that they can't do some googling around, here is the tutorial: http://en.opensuse.org/Gfxboot

    I found it pretty good and am currently making a new theme.

    Question Re: Howto : GfxBoot ( Grub like suse )

    Are their any short instructions that work and does this cause problems with the auto kernel upgrades?

    I followed the how-to, but when I restart it does nothing. I have installed 8.04 Hardy Heron, also tried out with other themes, with the same result... where GFXBoot gets installed?

    I found the directory, but still I can't get the grub screen to work, I need heelp!

    Thanks for your sugestions
