UBUNTU --- Grep command help needed


So, I happen to run a dual boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu (mostly for fixing windows problems) and I noticed windows 10 is coming out and downloaded the WIP version of it. I installed it alright but it fails on boot with error code 0x0000359. You may be thinking "This has nothing to do with linux, GTFO n00b" Well, I am using ubuntu to follow the instructions in this:http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2008373 and I need to translate the findstr /i /c:"iastor" %windir%/inf/oem*.inf into the linux equivalent. I happened to find that Grep is the replacement for the findstr and I cannot translate it myself.

Basically, I need to be able to find references to iastor in files inside of a directory, additionally, I need to be able to reference a source outside of my linux installation, eg; my windows installation.

In short, translation of the above findstr command into linux terminal, and targetting of my C:/windows/inf directory.

I am mostly n00bs when it comes to linux.

Additionally I run ubuntu 12.04, and windows 10(used to be 7).

Hi,

you need to mount your "C:" drive somewhere. Perhaps Ubuntu has already done it automatically. We can probably find out if you post the output of the following "diagnostic" commands.

Code:
df -h
mount
lsscsi
Assuming it has mounted it somewhere, eg at /mnt I think the equivalent command you need is as follows:
Code:
grep -i iastor /mnt/windows/inf/oem*.inf
Note that I'm not a windows user and not familiar with "findstr", so I read the documentation (hint!).

If it is not mounted (or you don't know where) the output of the "diagnostic" commands should provide the information needed to move forward.

HTH,

Evo2.
