*I* deas

I had to reinstall my windows today morning and as a result lost my ubuntu grub . I see that many others have been doing this .Here is a quick how to restore .

1. Boot in to the OS using the ubuntu live cd or if you are using any other GNU/Linux variant then use you boot cd in to rescue mode ( Assuming you know how to boot in to single user mode) .

2 . on the command prompt

$sudo -i ( su for other variants)

root#grub

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

(hd0,1) (might vary ,so note down this)

grub>root (hd0,1)

grub>setup (hd0)

and you will have the grub written and boot in to the linux :-)
