Yesterday I have reinstalled my Gutsy. During the installation I have chosen to format my sda5 partition (fdisk -l output is attached), and set (as it was before) sda7 as home patition. sda6 was left as a swap.
Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x06902fba
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 896 7194624 27 Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 * 896 3507 20971520+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 3508 9409 47407815 5 Extended
/dev/sda4 9410 24322 119781376 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda5 3508 6546 24410736 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 6547 6919 2996091 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7 6920 9409 20000893+ 83 Linux
Everything went okay until the finishing of installation: when it started installing GRUB. It just hung. I've killed the process, started installation again, and now ticked off "Install GRUB" in options. (I just though that I already have GRUB, and I don't even change "\" partition number).
Installation went okay, and when I rebooted my laptop GRUB said to me: "Error 15". And there is no even a possibility to press 'e' to correct menu.lst, or something. It just hungs and the only option is to reboot by CTRL+ALT+DEL.
By the way, I have not only one OS installed now, also (along with Kubuntu) I have my pre-installed Vista, and before reinstall it also was in GRUB. Now I can't access nor Vista either Kubuntu.
How can I, maybe, reinstall GRUB, and let him detect what OS I have installed and create menu.lst items for them? Or maybe I can somehow correct extisting version?
The only way I can access my laptop is via LiveCD.
UPD Have read somewhere about Super Grub CD, downloaded it, burn to a cd and tried. Tried different options, nothing helped to boot linux. But managed to uninstall GRUB and to boot Vista. Now, I think, I need to install GRUB. (But if I'm trying to use Super Grub CD to boot linux I still get Error 15).
