Restore Grub after Windows installation
I’ve just installed Windows Seven so I’ve lost ma Grub boot window…
let’s see how we can do that…
You need a Linux Live CD with grub supported.
Insert your CD, load your distribution, open a console and then type:
sudo <a href="tag/grub/" title="grub">grub</a>
We need root privileges to use grub. In my example I was using an Ubuntu Live CD which uses sudo, you can use the switch user command (su) if you prefer.
find /boot/grub/stage1
You need to find your old grub configuration. Grub will look into your partitions. The output will be something like this (hdX,Y)
root (hdX,Y)
setup (hdX)
quit
Now you’re done. Be aware the you are writing your MBR!
So do not screw up!
