Where is my Grub 2?
 

Today I tried to use Linux Mint because I read a lot about it in few Linux forums and also seeing that it leads in distrowatch. Installed in my laptop ( Lenovo B series) worked like a charm. Then started the issue, I tried to prepare a boot USB with LILI editor and tried to install in my desktop ( it does not have a DVD drive)as dual boot, i already have Windows 7 in that system. Everything is fine and it worked well in installing. Once the installation is completed I had restarted the computer as asked in the final step of installation.

While restarting I had removed the pen drive immediately ( thinking that its the root cause) and once the computer restarted I am not able to view Grub 2 boot loader and the system just goes into Windows 7.

Tried this many times by reinstalling, removing the partition, re installing again but the same thing happens.

Where am i missing? I am not too good in Linux, just got the intention of using Linux but can use some basic commands.

Any help in this will be highly appreciated.

Hi

Sorry I,m finding it hard to follow what you are doing you mention grub2 in title then lilo

May be the way I had conveyed the issue itself is confusing :).

I had installed the Linux Mint by creating a bootable USB drive using LILI software.... After installing I had restarted and found that the boot loader index page is not loading, the system directly logs into Windows 7 without showing the option for selecting the dual boot OS.

Hope this time I made it clear

Boot from the USB again and run
and post the results here

Ok, This PC is at my office will do it and post some time later...
