Re: [ubuntu-in] facing pb on ubuntu 10.4

You can modify fstab with noauto,nouser options so the xp partitions are not
mounted automatically
during boot time and users cannot mount it.

6) proceed by installing GRUB2

r...@ubuntu:~# *sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda*

Excellent illustration! However my 2 cents:

why sudo when already logged in as root?

I think step 7 mentioned here is relevant to the newer version of grub
i.e. Grub2 which is default from 9.10 onwards. However from the original
post it looks like the user is going to install 9.04 which installs
grub-legacy by default, where one will have to manually add the lines
for 'windows xp' *if it was not recognised during install*. But most
probably, grub will automatically recognise the windows partition and
add it to the list.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Unable to install GRUB using ubuntu 9.04 live CD

[Jkhatri]

Hi Ravi

Hope following will help

1) Boot using your live CD :

. Select " Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer "
. Once you've login to desktop run Terminal ( Application > Accessories 
> Terminal )

. Change to root, using this [enter *BOLD*  lines] command in Terminal:

ubu...@ubuntu:~$* sudo -i*
r...@ubuntu:~#
---
2)  Find Partition location of your Ubuntu:
---
r...@ubuntu:~# *fdisk -l*
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x10031003
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 6374 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 6375 19457 105089197+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 6375 11473 40957686 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 11474 19457 64131448+ 83 Linux _*<--- Here*_

3) Creat mount-point for ubuntu's partition


r...@ubuntu:~# *mkdir /media/root*
--
4) Mount the partition using this line
-

r...@ubuntu:~# *mount /dev/sda6 /media/root*
---
5) Confirm your root location by typing this line:
--
 o...@ubuntu:~#* ls /media/root*
bin dev initrd.img lib32 media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz
boot etc initrd.img.old lib64 mnt root srv usr vmlinuz.old
cdrom home lib lost+found opt sbin sys var


If those lines above appear, go to the step 6

6) proceed by installing GRUB2
---
r...@ubuntu:~# *sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda*
Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the 
device map
/media/root/boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If 
any of the lines is

incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. (hd0) /dev/sda


7) Reboot your system
_--
If in any case you do not see windows xp in GRUB menu do the following 
steps to resolve the issue _


1) Boot into your ubuntu

2) go to the terminal

( you just need to update you grub so that it can find the windows 
installation, this can be done by the following command )


usern...@systemname:~$ *sudo update-grub2*
[sudo] password for ubuntu:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found Debian background: apollo.tga
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-15-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-15-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows xp (loader) on /dev/sda1
done

3) try reboot again , now you will see windows xp in grub menu

Sound like a problem with x. Though what I am suggesting is not a
solution but just a work-around - Just restart x (was Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
earlier [1], don't know after Karmic). This way, you will again be presented
with the login screen, without rebooting the computer. However, while
doing this, please bear in mind that if you had started any apps after
logging in will be closed and will need to be started again -  its like
logging out and logging in again.
