... I just want to confirm the instructions I found on how to restore
GRUB so that I regain access to Linux after the Windows install
overwrites the MBR.
This is what I found..........
===============================
Boot the system from a live CD
Open a Terminal session
To enter the GRUB configuration mode, type in "sudo grub" and press
Enter and enter your password.
Then type in the following commands in sequence:
root (hd0,2) [tweaked to fit my drive/partitions]
setup (hd0)
quit
exit
Boot into Linux and open up another Terminal session. Then, type in
"sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
Scroll down to the bottom of the file and type in the following text
strings:
title Windows
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
===============================
Is that correct? Any thing else that I need to plan to do?
I know this is relatively simple, but I've grown tired of making "trial
and error" config changes to this new install. :-)
Thanks!
JMJ
