Boot Problem.

[badwolf]

I resently followed the below method of restoring GRUB2 but have ran into a problem...

When my computer starts it loads GRUB2 and if i were to select 'Windows Vista (Loader)'

it would take me to GRUB4DOS and then back to GRUB2 loader...

Method 2

Using GRUB for DOS

GRUB4DOS is an universal boot loader based on GNU GRUB. It can boot off DOS/LINUX, or via Windows boot manager/syslinux/lilo, or from MBR/CD. It also has builtin BIOS disk emulation, ATAPI CDROM driver, etc.

Download GRUB for DOS from here

For Windows7/Vista Users

Copy the file grldr,grldr.mbr to C:\.Create boot.ini file in the root directory of C:,copy and paste following into this file.

[boot loader]

timeout=0

default=c:\grldr.mbr

[operating systems]

C:\grldr.mbr=”Grub4Dos”

Now,create menu.lst in root directory,with the following content

timeout 0

default 0

title grub2

find --set-root /boot/grub/core.img

kernel /boot/grub/core.img

boot

Now restart your computer,and select boot from Grub4Dos.Then select boot up Ubuntu in grub menu.

Once login,use this command to install grub into mbr

sudo grub-install /dev/sdc

Note :- Replace sdc with your partiton

GRUB2 is still BETA software although some versions of Ubuntu use it.

Your best bet is to try the Ubuntu forums and have a read of this.
