Boot with GRUB

I need some help for menu.lst file.
I have deleted menu.lst file by mistake. Please let me know how can I restart my computer.

I want to use Win and Solaris 9. But since I installed Solaris 10, I no longer can reinstall WIN95/ Xp or Vista. I get this Windows blue Screen of Death everytime it begins the installation process. Should I use KILL DISK to solve this issue?

after installing windows7 i can not find the ubuntu linux.i already installed easyBCD1.7.2.NOW there is GRUB command window,how can i direct to the linux system?

I am trying to dual boot Fedora and Windows 7. All I know is that Fedora boots from /dev/sdc1 and Windows 7 should be booting from what is /dev/sdb1. I am not sure what I need to put in grub.conf. I am not sure how the /dev/sdb1 corresponds to hd0, etc. Here is what I have: Can someone please help? Thank you, metafizik

Hi guys

I'm not sure this is the right websire for my problem but i'll try anything now.

I have a laptop with Windows XP. I partitioned the drive and installed opensolaris on the second partition. No wheneveri turn on the laptop, Grub opens and only gives me the option for Solaris and not wiondows. I haven't been able to boot to Windows since. I've seen alot about editing the command lines for Grub but i'm new to this.

Does anyone have any idea's on how to solve this? i feel like it's not such a big thing but it's beating me right now.

Big thanks

Yea I'm having the hardest time getting this to work. I'm not the most tech savy person, but I can follow instructions pretty well. I need a IT next to me to solve this equation. I've had an easier time creating a good tax resolution compared to making this run properly. It looks pretty awesome, and I'd love to make it work on my laptop. Basically I'm just asking for a dummy explanation. It's just not sinking in.

Hi
I want to run a dual boot system, with Windows on one hard drive and Ubuntu on the other. I had some major hassles when I tried to do this before unaided, not understanding about needing a suitable bootloader. Now, I dare not open the Ubuntu disk again because it took me ages to sort the mess out last time (then, foolishly I got help from a computer shop...) Eventually I had to reinstall Windows XP because I need my computer running. I want to use Linux but am not (yet) technically sophisticated. Can someone please give me some simple instructions how to set up a dual-boot system (2 separate hard drives on 1 computer), so I can get started. I tried contacting a local Linux users group but after 15 emails and no reply I gave up. I also need to know which mobile broadband modems support Linux.

Regards

Hi!
I am using FEDORA 10 as my OS. It hung so I did a cold boot and after that I find that I get "GRUB>". How am I to recover and restore my OS? I would appreciate all help.
Thanks in advance

Lilo works just fine. Slackware works just fine. Only thing I had to do was add

root = "UUID=a8a7b440-374f-4cbc-ab87-504c68ef0e335"

for Fedora 13 because it does not understand /dev/sda8. As far as I am concerned Ubuntu Fedora etc. on their way toward Microsoft friendliness are just becoming toys, and I treat them as such.

If you do not install grub on the master boot record of the hard disk, how can you boot Linux?

My main gripe with grub is that unlike lilo, it has no test mode, where you can check that your new menu.lst actually makes sense, and that it's on a filesystem that will be visible to the grub that will boot.

I've screwed up my menu.lst file dozens of times, and then had to struggle with a printed grub manual to run grub interactively to boot the system, or else boot from a live CD (usually easier, frankly). Most of these mini disasters could have been avoided if grub had a method of testing if the menu.lst file is probably going to work. Not all of them were my fault. I remember one fun time when I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 to get grub failing with "Error 2" - this was thanks to ext3 changing from 128 bit to 256 bit inodes.

The article is also looking a bit old: many distros now use grub2 instead of grub, and they're not the same.

And info on grub and mirrored raid would be worthwhile. I have / and /alt-slash, both raid (/dev/md1 as / now and /dev/md0 as /alt-slash), for trying out new or alternative distros. This means I have to do this when updating menu.lst:

root (hd0,5)
setup (hd0)
root (hd1,5)
setup (hd1)
root (hd0,6)
setup (hd0)
root (hd1,6)
setup (hd1)

(At least, I think I have to do this.) Not exactly intuitive, is it?
