GRUB Gone · DIGIT-ARC

I have vista , xp and Ubuntu 8.10 in my laptop. I recently reinstalled Vista . From that day The GRUB is gone . Only windows boot loader is active and showing an opton of selecting xp or vista . What to do to restore the GRUB ?

Dont panic!! Boot from Ubuntu Live CD or any Live CD for that matter.
Open a Terminal and enter the commands one by one:
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1 (this will give an output where Ubuntu is installed,like (hdx,y), say (hd0,7)
root (hdx,y) [Change x and y according to the o/p of the above command]
setup (hd0)

Thats it! GRUB will be restored

Hey Saqib, will he read the whole tut?

I don't think so, but if he want the detailed explanation, then he will.

BTW, that was not mine find, some forum member suggested it in opensource section.

Its definitely new for you

It is used to restore/boot Windows/Linux. Its very easy but very powerful.

SuperGRUB disk is pretty old and I am using it for last 1-2 years. Its very handy in GRUB related problems and one of the must have CD for Linux users.
