I, uh, copied the command "sudo burg-install "(hd0)" from here (http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-burg-in-ubuntu/) but forgot to substitute the correct disk for the MBR before I hit "Enter." "sudo fdisk -l" result below:


ronald@ronald-OptiPlex-GX620:~$ sudo burg-install "(hd0)"
Installation finished. No error reported.
ronald@ronald-OptiPlex-GX620:~$ sudo fdisk -l

ronald@ronald-OptiPlex-GX620:~$

Can I continue safely with "sudo update-burg"? Should I re-issue:

sudo burg-install "(hd0)"

If so, what should I say instead of "(hd0)">?

This is a 12.04 32 bit installation alongside Win7

Thanks in advance,
Scott

The command is

sudo burg-install /dev/sda
Then

sudo update-burg

No problem, notice with grub 2 partitions are sdX and sdXX, and some times is preceded by a /dev.

Burg is actually grub 2 with added visual stuff, or at least one of the grub 2 releases.
