Thread: Computer won't boot to 9.10; No Grub Menu

-

my computer running windows 7 pro 64-bit, , shrunk partition accommodate karmic koala. installed it, , went fine, when rebooted went straight windows. tried doing fresh install ubunutu , again, installed fine wouldn't boot. error message stated along lines of "insert boot device , press enter continue." here great b/c i'm avid ubuntu user. keep windows dual boot around in case, have no intention of switching back.

thanks!

it grub wasn't installed in correct hard disk or might have cmos setting (bios) prevents programs writing first hard disk's mbr.

should able try again install grub 2 mbr using ubuntu karmic koala 'desktop' live/install cd.

try booting live cd , mount hard disk installed ubuntu operating system.
take in /media see name of mount point or ls /media,
code:
ls /media
you should nice user-friendly name mount point if set file system label, otherwise might file system uuid number can rather long , cumbersome.
can set file system label right-clicking on partition in gparted, example call mine karmic.

regardless of whether set label file system or you're happy stick uuid number, open terminal , run following command,
code:
sudo grub-setup -d /media/karmic/boot/grub /dev/sda
where /media/karmic mount point ubuntu file system, otherwise other name or uuid number. feel free replace appropriate.

if complains not being able open /boot/grub/device.map, might need hold it's hand , specify path device.map file -m option, follows,
code:
sudo grub-setup -d /media/karmic/boot/grub -m /media/karmic/boot/grub/device.map /dev/sda
if still doesn't work try looking in cmos , disabling mbr write-protect feature may have left enabled, may called 'boot sector antivirus' or other name.
if computer has more 1 disk might need change '/dev/sda' part of command /dev/sdb or else.
