Dual-booting problem Ubuntu Studio 7.10 and Windows XP Pro
I have a dual-booting problem Ubuntu Studio 7.10 and Windows Xp Pro. My XP corrupted and need to
reinstall. After that, the boot menu gone and it just boot to XP only. I found some info regarding
GRUB boot loader and how to recover it. Pls see below. But, it need the LiveCD to do it and Ubuntu
Studio only provide the alternate download which in text mode and can't go to terminal. So, is there
other way to do so? Pls help.
Thanks.
***
1) Boot off the LiveCD
2) Open a Terminal and type in the following commands, noting that the first command will put you into
the grub "prompt", and the next 3 commands will be executed there. Also note that hd0,0 implies the
first hard drive and the first partition on that drive, which is where you probably installed grub to
during installation. If not, then adjust accordingly.
sudo grub
> root (hd0,0)
> setup (hd0)
> exit
Reboot (removing the livecd), and your boot menu should be back.
