does anyone have any idea how one could manually get rid of the grub2 from the partitions and also what it was doing when it installed grub2 that was so odd.....it kept saying not recommended
also i may add that i used gparted off a bootable cd and deleted the ubuntu/xubuntu partitions and reabsorbed them into the xp partition (no issues) -- i then reinstalled ubuntu on a small 10gig newly created partition and grub installed fine and sees both the windows xp and the vista bootloader (for recovery partition, have no idea why that uses vista to install xp but go figure) -- yet it still won't boot......i have tried the other utilities i mentioned above to repair the MBR but they didn't seem to work out as Gajiin still see's GRUB in each of these.... maybe one could use a disk editor to manually enter the hex code back where it belongs??? thereby overwriting GRUB2 -- i have not used LILO but what if i install ubuntu then download lilo...would it possibly be able to fix what grub damaged by chance??? doubt it but perhaps.... all help appreciated. thanks again -- Unable to access non-Ubuntu loaders from GRUB2 menu in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
