How to Post a Question

1. Supply as much information as possible, including OS version, program version, if applicable, etc;
2. If there was an error message, include the exact text (cut and paste if possible);
3. If it "doesn't work" or "crashes", give details on what happened vs what you expected to happen;
4. Ask the question, and make it as specific as possible;

How Not to Post a Question

1. Assume we know everything you've done in the past;
2. Be as vague as possible; use terms like "tried all the steps" or "didn't work";
3. Don't ask any questions, we can read your mind;
4. Be brief - don't clutter your post with information about versions, etc

grub> find /boot/grub/grub.cfg
(hd0,7)

Do not use as above instead

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

[linfidel]

Do not use as above instead

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

But it found grub.cfg - it was stage1 that it didn't find; this most likely means he has the newer "grub2", not the original grub. The newer one does not use stage 1 or stage2, but it does have grub.cfg.

I don't know what the original poster was trying to do, so I can't offer any suggestions as to what should be done, except to point him to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr...ue%20to%20boot)

file is there. i saw it after mounting the partition having linux installed on it.
i tried to give /B/boot/grub/stag1 command while /B is the mount folder but it did the same error.
i am sick of this reinstallation process.

One thing, I had an iPod plugged in when I started my laptop and this caused error 22. Unplugged it and it
worked fine.

Heyy!
I'm new here!
Ive just noticed this problem and ive been trying to fix it for the past few hours!

First, i was trying to install drivers for my wireless card on my desktop pc, and it wasnt working, so i hooked it up via ethernet and i got connected.

I then upgraged from 9.10 to 10.04LST, went through everything and rebooted.

So post comes up and then it goes through boot process.

Then i get;
error: no such device: 2811e56f-c54a-4f61-8dd4-87b92691f594.
grub rescue>

This is a dual boot setup of Windows Vista and Ubuntu.
I cant boot to vista, ive tried vista startup repair but nothing!
I installed inside Windows using Wubi.

If my system specs are needed ill post.

Please help me!
Thanks in advanced!
Daniel =)

I just linked this thread to another guy with a grub-legacy problem. Haven't used these commands for a long while.

This Thread was linked for me back when I was just starting out and was a life saver then too.
