Grub missing after reinstalling windows

[bhanthenzzz07]

Hi, firstly I am not too good in linux, so I am forced to write my problem here because I can't complete it myself. ](*,)

Yesterday, I have problem with my windows (I'm using dual boot ubuntu 9.04 - Windows in my computer). So I decided to format my windows partion. But when I restart my computer, the grub is missing, so I can't boot my lovely ubuntu.

When I boot with live CD, It still can open my ubuntu partition, but because there's no grub, I am unabe to boot it

I follow this step in this link
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

But, in the final step, I got error code like this :sad:


grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed

Error 22: No such partition

I'm glad if anyone want to help me [-o<. Anyway, I don't want to reinstalling ubuntu because there's file that I still download and they're incomplete.

No problem, you'll just need to re-install grub. Windows knows nothing of grub or linux, so it will just wipe out your MBR (master boot record) if you install it after installing linux. It's an easy fix, and it'll require a livecd and a little bit of terminal hax. This guide should be of use: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

I already follow the turtorial but I got error like this


[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
the first word, TAB lists possible command
completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]

grub> root (hd0,0)

grub> setup (hd0)

Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

maybe I was wrong, then I tried to find grub directory with this command


grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

then it says (hd0,5). So I try to re-follow the turtorial like in this url
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ and it's keeping get error like this

I don't know what is wrong about this. Maybe I have to reinstall the ubuntu ?
