Grub Recovery Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (10.10)

I have been not updating this blog, after all this time, I will discuss about how to recover the damaged 10:10 grub ubuntu after installing windows. what we need is ubuntu LiveCD version 10:10, just go ahead. booting from the LiveCD and open a terminal, entered as a user with the command :

$ sudo su

Find the location of the partition ubuntu by type :

$ fdisk -l

As an example, look at the picture below:


The position of the ubuntu partition is located at /dev/sda1. make a directory to install grub :

$ mkdir /media/root

Mount ubuntu partition /dev/sda1 to /media / root by type :

$ mkdir /media/root

Once completed, then install grub with the command :

$ grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda

If the steps above are correct, it will display the message "finished", now reboot your system then you will login in ubuntu and no grub ption to login in windows. after you login in ubuntu. open terminal and login as root bty type :

$ sudo su

Update grub by type :

$ grub update

Now, grub has been recovered. happy Testing..
