I’m sure that some readers of this blogs is not understand about the GRUB loader, because in this case, there still somebody who’s confused with this loader. And I’m sure this picture will make you understand what is GRUB Loader means.
But…. In other case some people is failed to apply this loader,
for sure these are two conditions when the boot loader is get damage:
1. You are installed Windows after Ubuntu installed, and it’s wrong! because you need to install windows first than ubuntu, so ubuntu can detect the operating system to load!
2. For some reasons there is some hardware error, your system can’t detect your hdd and the other conditions.
I have an experience in this 2 case, and might be there is more case than this two. But the number 1 case is true, so I suggest you to install windows first than ubuntu.
If GRUB Loader fail to boot into the windows “/windows/etc” . Then I suggest you to insert your live cd and boot it again, in case if you don’t have any ubuntu live/installer cd you can download it at ubuntu website http://shipit.ubuntu.com . But you need to make some ID first to ship this CD, or you can download file ISO from the website.
Now, for case one:
For this case you can boot into the live cd and go to the terminal than type:
” sudo gparted ”
gparted will run and you can see some partition from your linux and windows. (ext3, swap, ext2, ntfs, fat, or the unallocated partitions)
>select partition windows > right click > manage flags
>UNcheck the “boot”
N.B: software Gparted may crash every this process is running. But don’t worry, because you can restart those gparted it again.
Reinstall GRUB
Open terminal and type:
” sudo grub ”
and this command gonna run GRUB aplication:
” find /boot/grub/stage1 “
This command will be search the GRUB that you have installed. For the case one, GRUB is not gone, but windows will take over GRUB jobs.
> and just like in the pictures (hd0,0) comes out, but every case will be different because the number can changed like (hd0,2)(hd0,3), etc.
Now, You can type:
” root (hd0,0) “
and if the word comes word (hd0,0)
type: root (hd0,2)
if it comes out words: (hd0,0) and more, then type: ” setup (hd0) ”
Finish! And restart your PC!
