Hi I'd be very grateful for a bit of advice regarding a Grub issue, please. I have a dual boot desktop, running 10.04 LTS and Windows XP. I recently made the mistake of running a free Windows disk management tool in the XP partition which appeared to corrupt the MBR. The result was that when I subsequently booted up I just got the "Grub Rescue" prompt. With a combination of research and trial-and-error I was able to get the PC to boot properly, with access to both Ubuntu and XP using the following commands at the "Grub Rescue" prompt:
set prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub set root=(hd0,5) insmod normal normal While I could type this in with every boot, you will appreciate that it would be a bit of a pain. Could anybody suggest a way of saving these commands so that they run automatically, thereby restoring my machine fully back to normal? Thanks. Regards Nige
