Good day to you.

While I understand that you are not so good in English - this is an English forum so please use English - we will understand what you are saying :)

If you really prefer to use French then perhaps you'd be better using one of the other support options - one of which is a French speaking forum - http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/

http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/locallanguage#french

In the meantime perhaps you could go here and follow the instructions - this will show us exactly what state your boot and partitions are in

Please use code tags - if you are using New Reply button - highlight text and use the # button in the text box header.

If using Quick Reply then
at the beginning and at the end.


I think that looks ok.

When you're in ubuntu can you open a terminal and run


sudo update-grub

It will ask for password - your normal password - it will NOT show as you type, this is normal.

Paste all that shows after you have run the command here please.

[erimen]

dat is the copy paste of your command :

erimen@erimen-linux:~$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for erimen:
