Fedora Installation :: Reinstall Grub After A Windows Installation Deleted It?
Jul 23, 2011This is partly a note to myself for the future and a guide to anyone who experiences similar issues.
So, I had to reinstall Windows XP since my previous installation gave me a blue screen error due to reasons unfathomable. Naturally, this deleted the GNU Grub and I could not login to my Fedora.
I read that apparently booting from a DVD installation offers an option to enter the rescue mode. I did not have a DVD, I only had the LiveCD so I had to figure out a way to reinstall Grub from the LiveCD. The following method seemed to do the trick.
Run the LiveCD and open Terminal.
1. Find the partition where the Grub Stage1 is code...
Ubuntu Installation :: Deleted, And Now Can't Reinstall Lucid?
Jul 13, 2010I deleted Ubuntu off of my laptop, because I was having some issues with it (I had lost some of my icons in Software Center, couldn't access my Yahoo Mail etc..). I deleted it using this method. I then went into my Windows Vista OS, and accessed Disk management via Control Panel.The partition Linux was previously on was Unallocated, and I had a D partition which was Windows recovery. I then shrunk my C (main Windows) partition down. I deleted the D partition.So now I have the C partition, and a large unallocated partition. I was planning on installing Ubuntu from CD onto this unallocated partition. I am using the same CD I had previously used to install Ubuntu. My roommate was also using the same CD today to install Ubuntu on his computer. I know the CD works.
So when I inserted the Ubuntu CD it loaded the first couple of screens. It got to the purple screen where the install text would normally have appeared and then continues to load.... but the "do you want to install? etc..." text did not come up. It then loaded to a black screen, loaded back to the purple screen, reads the disc, keeps loading... and loading... and nothing ever comes of it.I tried again, this time when the first purple screen comes up, I hit enter. I get the language select. I then get the options. I click install Ubuntu. it then starts loading... and loading... black screen, purple screen, black screen with text... but nothing comes of it.My windows is working fine. I don't know why it won't install

View 7 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Deleted GRUB And Cannot Reinstall It
Feb 6, 2009I've forgot to add/make clear, as I have said this is a single OS system, if there is a less complicated fix that will leave me without grub (but with a bootable system) that would be fine. Something like
Code:
fdisk /MBR
but I understand that command is only for DOS, correct?
I've managed to delete/screw up my installation of GRUB. My hardware RAID controller had gone on the fritz and I was getting an operating system not found message during boot. Turns out I needed to reload the firmware for the card. I now believe the card is working fine however in trying to troubleshoot the problem (which I initially thought might have been related to GRUB) I have managed to hose GRUB, and I now see
Code:
Loading GRUB..
Error 15 at startup. I am running Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS. I have been using an 8.10 desktop live cd for troubleshooting. Grub-install does not work when using the live cd. I have tried to follow directions given on this page: [URL]. However if I chroot to where my OS partition is mounted on the live cd:
Code:
chroot /media/disk
it does not recognize the grub command.
If I simply try:
Code:
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
it does not find them. If I try:
Code:
sudo grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
it checks for stage1 and does not find it. (This may be related to the fact that I am not chroot'ed to the correct OS partition when trying to run these commands, since, as I have mentioned before, I can't get the grub command to run after I chroot to my OS partition.)
When I initially started fooling around with grub I did not even have a boot partition, so I am not even sure that I had GRUB installed in the first place (this was simply a clean install of 8.0.4, not a dual boot system) but since then I must have screwed up the MBR by trying to reinstall/fix what I thought was a broken GRUB. I could not find the GRUB files on my computer, so I have downloaded GNU Grub 0.97 and unzipped it, and moved the entire contents into a /boot folder which I created, so I now have the proper /boot/grub/stage1 directory. (However I never ran any installation after downloading grub, I simply moved the files, perhaps this is the issue).
CentOS 5 Server :: SSH Deleted, Can't Reinstall With Rpm?
Nov 13, 2010I tried this once but my post disappeared. A thousand pardons if this is a dupe.Through the magic of typos, I managed to delete my ssh binary file. I can receive SSH connections but am unable to SSH into another computer.I located the RPM that looks to be what I'd want -- openssh-4.3p2-41.el5_5.1.i386.rpm -- but it refuses to install.

Jul 4, 2010I had to delete my swap partition in order to reinstall win XP, but now I need to reinstall it. I run Ubuntu 10.04 and read that there is a command $ sudo mkswap /dev/sda1.

I'm not sure whether I should use sda1 or if the book uses it as an example and if I use it it could wipe away my existing partition with ubuntu installed on it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedServer :: Deleted Keystore - Possible To Completely Reinstall JDK?
Aug 31, 2009I was having a problem where I had run keytool to generate a key but had entered some bad info. I tried to run it again but it said there was already a key, so I deleted keystore thinking it would regenerate itself. I ran the keytool command again but it says it can't derive the signature algorithm.
Anyway, I've tried to 'sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-jdk' then 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk' but it doesn't seem to put me back where I was from step 1. 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure' also doesn't seem to fix it. I think if I can completely reinstall jdk then I'll be good, but how?
I just uninstalled, did 'sudo apt-get clean sun-java6-jdk' then installed again. Still get the error:
keytool error: java.lang.Excpetion: Cannot derive signature algorithm

Jan 12, 2010I'm trying to install F12, over my existing F10. I ran preupgrade, and it installed anaconda into the boot menu, without apparent problems. On reboot, however, it fails with the following message:Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated.Cannot retrieve respository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: anaconda-InstallationRepo-200911081854.i386. Please verify its path and try again.I must admit to being a bit unclear as to what's going on here. Is it looking in the cached pre-install tree for said repomd.xml, but said tree is somehow corrupt; or is it trying to find it via the network, and failing (for whatever reason).

Fedora Installation :: Reinstall WinXP After Installing 10
Feb 3, 2009I have a dual boot system - WinXP and Fedora 10. I am happy with my fedora 10, but as usual the WinXP has lots of malware on it. So I wish to reinstall it and patch it up with a AV. Is it possible to reinstall WinXP without breaking the system - becoz AFAIK, installing will remove grub from the superblock and then there will be no way to reload fedora even if it is still there. Can't I copy grub and the partition table away and reinstall it from windows after the intallation completes? That way I shall have my dual boot system back as usual if I didnot do any changes to the partition table during the fresh windows installation.

May 20, 2010I have pc containing 80 GB Hard Disc with 1 GB RAM. I am using 60 GB for windows and 20 Gb for Fedora 12. Recently i formatted the pc and reinstalled both. I installed windows 7 instead of Windows XP i am using earlier. Now i do not like windows 7. My system became very slow. perhaps as my pc is five years old and motherbord configuration may not be matching. Now i want to revert to windows XP. I do not know any method by which i can retain fedora 12 and change from windows 7 to XP. Earlier i formatted complete hard disc and installed fedora 12 (myself) after windows 7 (by professional). but now i do not want to reinstall fedora 12. It will lose all upgradation and installed packages.
