Re: How old is your computer? 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim I stick with Windows because of long familiarity at the office. After years of networking/sysadmin and dbadmin I just had too much invested in MS. Too bad OS/2 died. When we got PC workstations for the control centre operators to interface to our AGTC/SCADA system we went for OS/2. We felt it was far superior to anything from Microsoft at the time… Re: How old is your computer? 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim >Our office started with PC DOS and WordStar If you want to get really picky, I spent a year (1978) doing medical research on a Cromemco running CP/M and whatever horrid OS (if you can even call it that) ran on a small Data General beast.

I recently attempted to create a new NTFS logical partition on the hdd. On completion, this needed a reboot, which I started, but now the grub bootloader isn't working. Usually it prompts for linux or windows, but now it is just returning a… GRUB Editing 13 Years Ago by iamthesgt I've got Open SUSE 11.4 and Ubuntu 10.10 now installed on the same machine now, but I need to edit the GRUB so I can boot into them. I can boot into OpenSUSE fine, but since it overwrote the Ubuntu bootloader, I can't seem to get it to boot into it.

Re: GRUB - Dual Booting Ubuntu and Win7 15 Years Ago by jbennet Best way is to boot the ubuntu CD. On the CD is an option for "Rescue Mode" (not graphical rescue mode!!) under Advanced Options. Go through those steps, and then choose to reinstall GRUB. Method 2: 1. Boot your computer up with Ubuntu CD 2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty. 3. Type sudo grub. Should get text of which … Re: grub bootloader 20 Years Ago by DMR You're almost certainly right- adding the new partition has probably caused the partition information in grub's config file to become out of sync with the current partition layout. Are your / (root) and boot filesystems on separate partitions, or is boot just a subdirectory on the / partition? If you can tell us that we can tell you exactly how … Re: grub bootloader 20 Years Ago by DMR You're welcome. I haven't used Mandrake in a while, so I can't tell you exactly how you get into rescue mode once you've booted from the CD, but I know the option is there somewhere. Once you do get into rescue mode and get to a command prompt, typing the following command will exxentially switch you from running of the CD to running off the … GRUB in UBUNTU 17 Years Ago by peter_budo I recently installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my system and for last few days been learning ways around this system and get familiar with it.

Actually i want to use GRUB boot loader for my own Os. please guide me. I am very new here. thanks in advance..:) Re: GRUB Editing 13 Years Ago by iamthesgt Thanks for the response. I actually already figured that out - I installed Fedora and Ubuntu side by side, then install SUSE without its bootloader. I then ran grub-update in Ubuntu and SUSE was there upon reboot.

Windows does not need the Master Boot Record, however, so wiping the MBR will quite often solve people's problems switching from Linux back to Windows. But remember, wiping the MBR means you can no longer boot back into Linux, … Re: Grub doubt 15 Years Ago by sknake It sounds like GRUB has been installed in the MBR. You should be able to run [icode]fdisk /mbr[/icode] from your windows installation media to overwrite the boot loader. GRUB Error 14 Years Ago by nadskap2 Hello there DaniWeb. I REALLY hope you can help me in this case :( else i cant get to use my PC. Well, some days ago, i went into my PC and cleared up some partitions etc so i could have more space on some of my others. So i deleted 2 partitions. One was on 5GB and other was on 67GB. They had no names. And then i rebooted. But i couldn't … Re: Grub Loader 15 Years Ago by jbennet No. You can install GRUB to non-hdd locations e.g a floppy, if you want to. Also you can use NTLDR (the windows bootloader) to boot linux. A bit of a pain, but a bit easier in recent (vista/7) versions. Installing GRUB is the easiest way but its understandable if you dont want to (e.g dont want to nuke shortcut access to a recovery partition) Re: GRUB Error 14 Years Ago by beth22 You have deleted boot partition in this case. To fix this, just booting up with Ubuntu Live CD, fire up Terminal and type these followings: $sudo bash #grub #root (hd0,0) // assume this is your first hard disk, and root is first partition #setup (hd0) #quit and reboot Hope that help! Re: GRUB Error 14 Years Ago by makman99 I just did this a few days ago... You deleted the partition with the actual GRUB installation on it. I could not find a way to get it back, so I ended up clearing the whole thing off. Just live-boot an OS, copy all your needed files, and then fresh install your OS again.
