GRUB issue
Hi,
After installing Ubuntu 8.10 in my laptop I-ve partitioned the disk and I-ve installed win xp in another partition. Since this GRUB doesn-t appears when my laptop boots and I can only use xp. How to solve this? |
xp overwrote the bootloader links in the mbr.
get a live cd and just re-link the mbr to your /boot partition eg if /boot is on partition 5 Code:
su my signature may help? if you do not know how to use a live cd...too well..after doing just the grub...reboot to hard drive...boot into linux and then edit that file with root powers..the file /boot/grub/menu.lst |
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/menu.lst (use the output in the next step) root (hdx,y) setup (hd0) quit To use "su" in ubuntu you must use, sudo su |
To make sure XP does not override GRUB again, always install Windows first, then Ubuntu. As a warning, I have not figured out how to change the default OS from Ubuntu to another OS.
