bad grub from old install persistent.
New slackware install, had grub from old ubuntu install left on it.
I installed slackware 14.1 via sd card. I used lilo expert chose my linux and windows partitions... On reboot, grub as it is still in mbr loaded into grub recovery> I do not have access to my windows partition anymore. I can boot from the sd card but I get errors from trying to run lilo or liloconf. How through the install card can I clean grub to use lilo? My netbook is a lg x110. Cheers |
You forgot to post the error(s) you got when you tried to install Lilo. You should have an option in the install to put Lilo on the mbr.

Solution... this does not remove grub but fixes it from the sd install card.
The downside is I can not see my windows install. mount /dev/sda# /mnt --use the installed os drive here in sda#- Chroot /mnt Grub-install /dev/sda# Grub-mkconfig -o /root/grub/grub.cfg Make sure you have made a user and password. After you reset and login, run "su grub-config -o /root/grub/grub.cfg This will find your windows partition. |

I was unable to remove grub via the slack install sd card, but I was able to re-install grub for slack. Funny part is I forgot to make myself a user account. Cheers. |
