I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my system. At the time I wasn't very familiar with boot loaders and I just left everything default at installation. Now I have the following setup on the hard drive:
- MBR: GNU GRUB
- Partition 1 (dev/sda1) Sony Vaio Recovery Partition
- Partition 2 (dev/sda2) Windows XP Home Edition
- Partition 3 (dev/sda3) Extended Partition
- (dev/sda5) Ubuntu 9.10
- (dev/sda6) Swap Space
I want to replace GNU GRUB in the MBR with NTLDR and add Linux to the NTLDR boot menu but from what I understand I have to install GNU GRUB to the Linux Partition first so NTLDR can chain load it to boot Ubuntu. I have heard of using the ' grub-install ' command in which from what I understand I should use it like this ' grub-install /dev/sda5 ' but I'm not sure. Can somebody help me with this. It would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
