Hi :) If it's not possible to recover Grub2 is it possible to reinstall?
Personally i still haven't got out of the old Windows-support habit of just reinstalling instead of spending time trying to analyse and fix. Grub2 should be reasonably easy to install on almost any type of partition. I think i might create a special partition purely for booting from. A boot partition. It's a bit old-school as i haven't seen one for years but they used to be very popular. In some situations it might be possible to copy&paste your grub config file but even if not the newer version of grub2 would probably be able to find all the OSes that are bootable on your machine. I don't think it finds ones inside a virtual machine that you would run from inside one of the partitions (although obviously you can install directly into a virtual machine that could then boot any bootable OSes inside that virtual machine). I guess if you could somehow get the bios to start-up a virtual machine then it could let Grub2 boot that but i think that would be really weird and freaky and possibly even scary. Anyway, many apols if a reinstall has already proven impossible. I haven't been following this thread so it might be an inherently bad suggestion but reinstalls have always worked for me! :) Regards from Tom :) >Friends, >A special Thank You to yannubuntu for the excellent work in obtaining a boot repair report at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219427/. > >Unfortunately, the only remaining solution is to figure a way to mount the LVM partitions and copy off any data to save.
