I would use the following

Code:

mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
chroot /mnt /bin/bash

this is how it works with Gentoo.

The devices are mounted before chrooting.
There are six mount commands issued before the chroot command.

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo mount --bind /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf
sudo chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash

@andrewthomas: sorry, I didn't see that you wrote the chroot command again in your code.

No problem. I just named the script chroot to identify it. It really could be named anything.

Hey Andrew,

I tried the re-installation, and it fixed the grub prompt issue.

For the MBR problem, I followed the link u posted, deleted the Dell Local DataSafe
and It fixed the MBR problem.

I will try above commands after this..

Thank for your helping ... ;-)

Markus - thank for you as well.
