Correct me if Im wrong, but you don't edit menu.lst, Ubuntu 9.10 and up use grub2.
In grub2 the config file really isn't meant to be edited as is menu.lst in old grub. The .cfg file is created by update-grub and reads files in /etc/grub.d for its content. The Grub 2 user-configurable settings are contained mainly in /etc/default/grub and the files in /etc/grub.d. /etc/default/grub This file contains information formerly contained in the upper section of old grub menu.lst and items contained on the end of the kernel line. The items in this file can be edited. /boot/grub/grub.cfg This is the main Grub 2 file. It "replaces" Grub Legacy's /boot/grub/menu.lst This file contains the Grub menu information but unlike old Grub menu.lst file, grub.cfg is not meant to be edited. etc. Canonical's Grub2 wiki like page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 Here is a post that explains a bunch about grub2 configs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 Chris On Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 10:49 AM, Manny <vector...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Now I just need to remember the command to repair the windows > > partition boot sector. > > > If anyone is interested, Windows 7 says you need to restart with the > install disk and run the repair menu item. > > I bypassed this complicated routine by using a utility called > "EasyBCD", it's free and did the job in seconds.
