I have been an Ubuntu user for several years now, but when I got an iphone, I had to install Windows XP on a partition so that I could use itunes properly.
It occurred to me the other day that I could use OSX instead, so that I could rid myself of Windows once more.
The installation went ok, but when I tried to restore Grub, I hit a problem.
When I installed Windows, I used this guide to restore Grub:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
I am using Grub Legacy.
When I tried to use the same technique to restore Grub after installing OSX Leopard, it didn't work.
I typed this:
sudo grub
> root (hd0,0)
> setup (hd0)
I know that I should be using (hd0,0) because that's what I used before with Windows, but now it gives me an error message telling me that it couldn't mount the partition.
I can mount the Ubuntu partition with the live cd and view my files as normal.
Any ideas?
