HEllo all,

I had 9.10 installed and I did an upgrade to 10.04. However I cannot see anymore my Windows Vista partition with grub.. I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite p305.

This is my boot script output: Any hint will be appreciated..

You have more than one problem, first you installed grub2 to your Vista partition:


sda2: __________________________________________________ _______________________

File system: ntfs
Boot sector type: Grub 2
Boot sector info: Grub 2 is installed in the boot sector of sda2 and
looks at sector 519873518 of the same hard drive for
core.img, but core.img can not be found at this
location. No errors found in the Boot Parameter Block.
Operating System: Windows Vista
Boot files/dirs: /bootmgr /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe

The fix for that is detailed here:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector

The second problem is that you have mixed legacy grub and grub2 files in the /boot/grub directory:


sda5: __________________________________________________ _______________________

File system: ext4
Boot sector type: Grub
Boot sector info: Grub is installed in the boot sector of sda5 and looks
at sector 519873750 of the same hard drive for the
stage2 file, but no stage2 files can be found at this
location.
Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Boot files/dirs: /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/fstab
/boot/grub/core.img

To fix that we'll backup the old /boot/grub directory, create a new one, purge any configuration files and reinstall grub2:


sudo mv /boot/grub /boot/grub_backup


sudo mkdir /boot/grub


sudo apt-get --purge remove grub

Note: That may say, "not installed so not removed", that's OK just continue:


sudo apt-get --purge remove grub-pc


sudo apt-get --purge remove grub-common

Now we'll reinstall:


sudo apt-get install grub-pc

If, or when, asked where to install grub be sure to choose only /dev/sda and NOT a partition!


sudo update-grub


sudo grub-install /dev/sda

That should do it, but if you confront any difficulties reinstalling grub DO NOT reboot! I'll hang tight for a while in case you run into trouble.

Hey Thanks a lot! It looks like it is working now. At least I can select the Windows entry and it goes into windows.

The only suspicious thing is that the entry is marked as Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2). But it goes into Vista and Linux.

Thanks again!

The only suspicious thing is that the entry is marked as Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2). But it goes into Vista and Linux.

That's somewhat typical, look at the section:

Just be very, very careful with any editing!
