    HOWTO: Restore GRUB (if your MBR is messed up)

    Written by vnbuddy2002

    Restoring GRUB is quite simple in Ubuntu. Instead of going through all the "gain root access" and playing with shell commands, you can use the Ubuntu installation CD to restore it without going through all kinds of hassles.

    Here are the steps:

    1. Boot your computer up with Ubuntu CD
    2. Go through all the process until you reach "[!!!] Disk Partition"
    3. Select Manual Partition
    4. Mount your appropriate linux partions

    /
    /boot
    swap
    .....

    5. DO NOT FORMAT THEM.
    6. Finish the manual partition
    7. Say "Yes" when it asks you to save the changes
    8. It will give you errors saying that "the system couldn't install ....." after that
    9. Ignore them, keep select "continue" until you get back to the Ubuntu installation menu
    10. Jump to "Install Grub ...."
    11. Once it is finished, just restart your computer

    Good luck!.
