Re: [fsug-tvm] windows 7 is washing out grub --help-urgent

2010-06-17 Thread David Shar 
The issue is related to GRUB 2 and propriety software supplied by Dell the
restores windows mbr by overwriting GRUB 2 at restart after setting up a
dual boot. People with similar issues should run boot info script from live
cd in order to detect errors. There are handful of options in Open Source, I
suggested super grub disk after evaluating the quality of initial post.

For comprehensive analysis and fix please down load boot info script from
sourceforge.net, store it on desktop and go to terminal and run 'sudo bash
~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh' (replace * with the script version).

The script will post an output in desktop folder with a name RESULTS.TXT.

After this you can install GRUB 2 from terminal, make sure you assign
correct partition for install.

In addition, one can fix windows virus with Unix Live CD and repair windows
with it.

Users should stop bashing propriety software and preserve their breathe for
a workaround.

>From the above discussions, the problem looks like:

An OS  stores information about partitions state at the time of install,

Then it would be better if we can *update that data* in the Windows system *to

Re: [fsug-tvm] windows 7 is washing out grub --help-urgent

2010-06-16 Thread David Shar 
Hi, You need to log in with live cd and restore the Grub. See if it works
otherwise open Gparted and flag Ubuntu partition as a "boot". If it still
fails email me your fdsik -l output. In addition try super grub disk, a free
utility that handles complicated boot options.

Re: [fsug-tvm] windows 7 is washing out grub --help-urgent

Windows 7 seems to make two primary partitions, a 100MB as well as a user
specified size partition. Boot flag is on the 100MB partition. Any
correlation for the above discussd problem to this fact?

Since you are having Dell, check for any software like Dell Backup safe 
or something installed in your Windows 7. My friend had the same problem 
and he got it fixed after removing that software. There is a 
documentation regarding it in the Ubuntu website. but I can't locate in 
now. :(
