Question #77991 on grub in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+question/77991
Tom proposed the following answer: A proper Ubuntu Cd would be ideal for this. We just need a command-line at first but a full proper Ubuntu cd can also be used as a LiveCd. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto I tend to find really cheap "write once" cds that can only be bought in stacks of 10 or more are better for this than expensive ones, less errors oddly <shrugs>. If you can't download Ubuntu or have problems making a cd of it then WolvixHunter (450Mb) might well work http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=wolvix or sliTaz is even smaller (30Mb) and might make a better cd because of that but WolvixHunter usually has better hardware support http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=slitaz Whichever one you try just put it in the cd/dvd drive and reboot the machine. When you get to a splash screen press enter - with Ubuntu it gives a nice menu with the default option "Try Ubuntu without making changes to this machine". SliTaz or Ubuntu will then get you straight to a working desktop, with Wolvix it needs a username "root" and password "toor". Once you are at a working desktop you should be able to get to a command-line, look for a little icon of a tele screen with a ">" or in Ubuntu go up to the top-taskbar and click on Applications - Accessories - Terminal anyway however you get to the command-line from there type sudo fdisk -l or on sliTaz or Wolvix type su fdisk -l and then try to copy the results 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
