You definitely want to uninstall Partition Magic 8. This application is fine for Windows only machines, not dual-boot machines. Upon installation it will scan your MBR and decide it is broken and 'fix' it. So definitely get rid of it. You have a LiveCD thats good.
1. Boot into the Ubuntu live CD 2. Open a Terminal Applications > Accessories > Terminal 3. type the command: sudo grub This will give you a prompt that looks like this. grub> 4. type the command: find /boot/grub/stage1 This will return a location. If you have more than one, select the installation that you want to provide the grub files. Next, THIS IS IMPORTANT, whatever was returned for the find command use it in the next line (you are still at grub>. when you enter the next 3 commands) 5. type the command: root (hd?,?) Again use the value from the find command i.e. if find returned (hd0,1) then you would enter root (hd0,1) 6. type the command: setup (hd0) 7. type the command: quit That is it. Grub will be installed to the mbr. When you reboot, you will have the grub menu at startup. -- installed partion 8 no changes reboot grub 1529 mismatch directories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
