Hello,
Today I have installed windows and after installing drivers, software and such stuff I loaded the boot CD.
I opened the mepis system assistant, restored the root partition then I restarted the computer but grub did not appear. I remembered that MEPIS was the first Distro to install the bootloader on the MBR. (I think I should not have done that)
I restarted the bootCD and restored grub on the MBR and repeated it 3 times but still no luck.
So What can I do?
Do you think I have messed up my my linux Installation?
If Mepis was already installed on your disk, you can load the live cd and mount your Mepis root partition somewhere on your system e.g. /media/hda8, chroot to the root partition and use grub-install to reinstall grub e.g.
Thank you reddazz,
Linux is back again and I am writing this reply from it
just a little hint if someone needs this thread and he is as lazy as me Do Not use Mepis default mount to solve this issue Just mount the partition your self as you will get permission denied
Thanks again reddazz that was really quick and painless
