Recovering Grub after installing Windows
I reinstalled my vista, i found that my ubuntu grub was lost..
These are the steps i took to get back my ubuntu grub..
1. Boot the Desktop/Live CD.
2. Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal)
3. Start grub as root with the following command :
$ sudo grub
I got the output as
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
the first word, TAB lists possible command
completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub>
5. Now type these :
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
i got it as (hda0,10)
6. Use the information from the above to set the root device:
grub> root (hd0,10)
7. Now install the grub:
grub> setup (hd0)</strong>
8. Now quit
grub> quit
