Re: restoring GRUB after windows 7 install along side Debian set-up with LUKS+LVM
W7 does not mangle the mbr any longer. After install, go to debian and run update-grub to get a bootable W7. Thierry This is incorrect. Win 7 will definitely wipe out GRUB. There are several ways to restore GRUB. It really depends on how one configured his setup. I had the following configuration: sda1 - win7 sda2 - /boot sda3 - LVM on top of LUKS partition - (separate LVs for /, /home, and SWAP) sda5 - FAT32 to restore GRUB I used the Debian DVD installer disk. choose: Advanced options rescue mode or Graphical rescue mode From the Debian installer main menu choose enter rescue mode then it prompted me for my passphrase for sda3 then it listed all the partitions/LVs/LUKS partitions and asked me to choose the root file system selected the LV with / then selected execute a shell in root filesystem this is where I got confused. I did not mount /boot as it was on a separate partition and was getting errors. Mounting sda2 at /boot fixed the issue. the following two commands were the only ones I had to execute to get back GRUB. mount /dev/sda2 /boot grub-install /dev/sda all done. rebooted and everything was back to normal. I hope this helps anyone with the same issue. -- Kind regards, Yudi

restoring GRUB after windows 7 install along side Debian set-up with LUKS+LVM
Hi I will be installing Windows7 along side Debian on a 4 KB sector hard drive. Debian's configured with LVM on top of LUKS. From what I understand I can restore GRUB using the Debian install disk by going in to the advanced options and choosing rescue mode. What are the potential issues I need to be aware of before restoring GRUB using the Debian DVD install disk? -- Kind regards, Yudi
