for grub 2:

Using Ubuntu 9.10 livecd or higher
Here assuming the Ubuntu partition is sda7,and /boot partition is sda6 (if you have a separate /boot partition).
Boot up ubuntu from the livecd,open terminal and run:
sudo -i
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot #skip this one if not have a separate /boot partition
grub-install –root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda

that’s all (ubuntu tunisia)

I have a dell xps laptop. which has got vista .
After working on dual boot for a long time I had to format vista.
Now I dont see the grub menu which used show up at system boot, earlier.
By default system boots into vista now. No traces of earlier boot menu.But the Ubuntu Partitions r still there.
Can anyone help me in the issue.
I would need the system to dual boot just it like earlier.

Thanks

Hi
I could not recover my Ubuntu 10.04, because when I type “sudo grub”, it gives o/p as “command not found”. Please help me to overcome this problem. I am inserting live CD.
