Hi all!
I am having a bit of a problem with windows wiping out grub everytime I boot into windows then reboot back into linux(Ubuntu 9.10). The issue started after a Windows Vista update took place. I did not have this issue after the initial install or with 9.04. The computer is an Asus G50V laptop. Upon reboot I get the error:
Grub loading.
no module name found.
Aborted. Press any key to continue.
So I boot via a Super Grub Disk back into Linux.
the only way to get grub back that has worked for me is using these commands:
cd /
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/ dev/sdX
sudo update-grub
sudo update-grub2
sudo reboot
This is a bit of info about the HD layout:
laptop:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
4 heads, 44 sectors/track, 3551945 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 176 * 512 = 90112 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xfdfbcdb6

/dev/sda5 1775989 3255250 130174972 7 HPFS/NTFS

/dev/sda8 3440970 3551942 9765602 83 Linux
Can someone help me in getting this right? Thank you so much for the assistance!
