Question #76926 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76926
Tom proposed the following answer: Sorry, i forgor to "sudo" that so it wont let you write into the system folder there. After entering a sudo command you will be asked for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one, just the normal one you login with. Try sudo cp menu.lst menu.lst.140709 ls this 2nd "ls" should show that you now have a new file, just as expected :) Right, next thing is to edit the menu.lst so type in sudo gedit & now change the section that says title Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition rootnoverify (hd0,1) savedefault chainloader +1 and change it to title Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition root (hd0,1) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 So, not much change - just the "rootnoverify" to "root" and add in the line "makeactive". Grub is used to talk to machines and so it counts from 0 rather than starting at 1 as humans usually do. Just click on the "Save" button and then reboot. If a problem happens and you can't get back into ubuntu then just LiveCd and firefox should allow you to navigate into here -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
