Boot from a Live CD, like Ubuntu Live CD or similar.<br /><br />2. Open a Terminal. Go SuperUser (that is, type "su"). Enter root<br />passwords as necessary. (in kanotix you need to set the passwd for<br />root yourself. Use:<br />$ passwd root<br /><br />3. Type "grub" which makes a GRUB prompt appear.<br /><br />4. Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0)"<br />or in my case "(hd0,3)". Use whatever your computer spits out for the<br />following lines.<br /><br />5. Type "root (hd0,3)".<br /><br />6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use<br />"(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you<br />want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the<br />number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)".<br /><br />7. Type "quit".<br /><br />8. Restart the system. Remove the bootable CD.<br />If the Step 3 doesn't work, then instead of typing "su" and then<br />"grub" type "sudo grub". Then continue with Step 4.<br /><br />Also if GRUB was your main boot loader then use (hd0) in Step 6,<br />otherwise (hd0,x), where 'x' is your Linux Boot Partition (in case you<br />are using some other boot loader, like Vista's Boot Loader for e.g.)<br /></div><div><br /></div></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3089117724089106627-6059442555052074467?l=tuxganesh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TuxGaneshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12987896668836878315noreply@blogger.com0
