I have reinstall grub in my note book many times and no "error message" like this one, ------------- tbuntu@tbuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda11 /mnt [sudo] password for tbuntu:
tbuntu@tbuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Sector 50 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it. This software may cause boot or other problems in future. Please ask its authors not to store data in the boot track. Installation finished. No error reported. tbuntu@tbuntu:~$ grub-install -v grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-12ubuntu5 ------------- I will see if my window XP is destroyed or not. I have Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04 and Lubuntu 11.10 installed with window XP. The previous grub reinstall was done in Ubuntu 11.04. And after that I did experiment with Boot Repair, and set Ubuntu 11.04 as default boot. Current Lubuntu 11.10 (sda11) was a clone of Lubuntu 11.10 (sad4) by Clonezilla CD, my first experiment on Cloning by Clonezilla. Then I format sda4 for next ubuntu installation. And after that I did experiment with Boot Repair, and set Ubuntu 11.04 as default boot. And today, I reinstall grub2 since I want default /boot to be change to lubuntu 11.10(sad11). Then I have the above error. I have not install any new adobe software in windows at all for long time, and the last time I turn on my windows, to check window files system of usb-hdd. and did not update anything. The only Adobe program is AR Reader installations were done to USB-stick Ubuntu, or external drive and to some of my Ubuntu experiment. Though Photoshop and AI and other Adobe update in windows XP were done years ago, since I install Ubuntu 8.04, and never have this issue until lubuntu 11.10 "grub reinstall". The installation of lubuntu 11.10 did not produce any error too. When Bug Watch Updater (bug-watch-updater) on 2011-03-16 Changed in grub2 (Debian): status: New → Fix Released Dose it suppose to still produce the error above? I will report on my XP later.
