Jun 6, 2011Well this might not be a newbie question, but I will park it here for now. Mint, a flavor of Ubuntu, boots up and picks up old OSes that are long gone. How can I stop or modify this?I have searched, and nothing seems to address this.

Apr 3, 2010just installed OpenSUSE this weekend and I already had two different OSs on the laptop. Windows 7 and Linux Mint 8 KDE CE.

Well This is what is in the boot folder on the Mint Partition

Mar 17, 2011When I installed 64 bit OpenSUSE Gnome 11.4 today on an ext4 primary partition (sda4) from the Install DVD, it eliminated LinuxMint 9's entry from OpenSUSE'sGrub The 64 bit LinuxMint v. 9 (Isadora) is installed on an ext4 logical partition (sda9) inside an extended partition, but it doesn't appear in OpenSUSE's Grub (and now OpenSUSE 11.4 won't connect to the Internet - although the Live CD ran yesterday without a hitch).
I'm hoping that my fellow OpenSUSE users can help me regain access to my Isadora installation and hopefully, point me to a solution for the Internet access problem.
General :: Put Windows Xp In The GRUB Boot Command For Mint?
Apr 3, 2010I have Microsoft Windows Xp installed on my Primary Drive C: and I had a Mint boot disc that I would pop in and load from. Well I got tired of this disc and installed a new hard drive in my computer so I could use Mint as a secondary OS. Everything went good in the install, and I put Mint on the second drive. But when I boot my computer the GRUB menu only shows Linux Helena Mint 8 to load from and no Xp. Xp is still currently installed on the computer in the Primary drive, but how do I inlcude it in the GRUB boot menu or boot it at all?

Nov 1, 2010I got ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx along with windows (dual boot) and using Grub. On my computer, I have my C:/ (programs) and D:/ (data). I've never used my D:/ before that day that I've lost my windows partition on my grub menu. I usually use my D:/ with windows.

Ubuntu :: Grub Messed Up - Error: Can't Find GRUB Drive For /sdd1
Jan 31, 2010I've trawled the internet but can't seem to find the exact same issue, so I've made a new thread. So, I installed Ubuntu onto a 160gb drive. I have other drives in the system, but I disconnected them so that the system drive would be sda. Ubuntu installed perfectly with no issues whatsoever. I connected the other drives in the system, and again it booted up perfectly (although I can't remember whether the 160gb drive remained as sda or became sdd). Then I attached some extra drives temporarily to do some data shuffling.
This moved my system drive to become sdf. My computer booted fine multiple times like this, but when I was finished with the drives I rebooted and suddenly everything broke. For some reason my ubuntu installation showed up in the GRUB twice, and neither of them booted. So, I popped in the Live CD (which I'm using to type this post), and decided to update the grub. I chrooted into my system drive and ran update-grub, but it simply returned something like this:

Software :: Grub Drops To Grub Prompt On Boot / But Can Use Commands To Find Menu
Jun 5, 2009I've got myself the curious situation where, when I boot the system, I can get grub to start, but it always drops to the prompt.
I can run:configfile /grub/menu.lst
and this brings up the menu with no problems, and from there I can boot the system to either linux or windows. What I don't understand is why it wont go to the menu in the first place?As far as I can tell, grub/Kubuntu got confused when installing, as each of the hd#,# settings in the menu.lst have needed tweaking to let the system boot. (e.g. windows is actually hd0, but the original install had it at hd2. Likewise linux is on hd1, but the menu.lst had it at hd0). I've happily tweaked these to make the system boot, but would appreciate any help in convincing grub to actually load the menu without me having to use the prompt.

Ubuntu :: GRUB Can Not Find Windows 7 / Get That?
Jan 30, 2011To start im going to specify as many things as i can think of that may help this process.
1. My laptop came originally with Windows 7 on it.
2. I installed Lubuntu based off Ubuntu 10.10 i'm assuming the slight differences between Ubuntu and Lubuntu shouldn't make this to much trouble.
3. This was installed off of a flash drive.
4. Windows was working fine until the partition of Lubuntu.
5. My old windows files can still be accessed so i'm going to assume windows 7 was not partitioned over or deleted.
6. I'm running off of a Lenovo computer which i believe to have partitioned a section off for some of it's own features never looked into it or touched that partition
7.Currently GRUB gives me four different choices 2 being of Lubuntu connection and 2 being of some memtest thing that i have never seen before.
8. I can't think of how to copy this but when i type in sudo fdisk -l i get partitions from /dev/sda1 through /dev/sda7 every one filled. code...
Ubuntu :: Can't Find /boot/grub/menu.lst?
Feb 5, 2010I primarily need to remove several listings from my boot menu. After many updates and upgrades the list is HUGE.I know you can edit the grub menu.lst file, but I don't have one.
[Code]...
And, I did read the guide on removing entries from grub 2. The problem is, some of the kernels in the current grub menu are no longer in synaptic on this install. Currently I have WinXP, Ubuntu 8.10, and Ubuntu 9.10 installed. I want to leave 8.10 installed, but not have it available in the Grub menu. How can this be accomplished? Grub 2 seems quite obtuse compared to earlier versions where there was a simple menu file
Ubuntu :: After Update Grub Can't Find The Kernel
Feb 5, 2010I had Windoze 7 on my wife's laptop, it started running crappy so I install Ubuntu 9.10 via Wubi (so it is not a partitioned dual-boot). I did the latest update, which I think included a kernel update. When I rebooted and chose Ubuntu from the windows dual boot window, instead of loading the GRUB I see an error message flash:
Code:
TRY hd0: NTFS no Wubi(something-or-other)
it flashed almost too fast for me to catch - it took about 10 reboots to figure out that much... and then it goes to a screen that says
Code:
GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4
sh:grub
I tried several different commands (you can prompt it to give you available commands by hitting TAB), but it said it couldn't detect a kernel. Also, before I updated, I had tried to install iTunes via these instructions. iTunes seemed to have installed fine, but I hadn't tried it yet.
Ubuntu :: Can Not Find Grub Menu / Resolve This?
Mar 20, 2010My parent's hard disc is failing and I am trying to boot into single user mode to run fsck. If I try to enter through terminal with "sudo init 1" the screen goes black and the computer freezes. I tried to enter single user during start-up with ESC, but the machine still boots straight into a normal session. I was going to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to for the machine to display the grub menu option but I do not seem to have a menu.lst under /boot/grub. Does anyone have any ideas as to where this file might be or an alternate way to enter single user mode?

Ubuntu :: Grub Can't Find Partition At Boottime
Sep 14, 2010I had my HD partitioned with Win7 and 2 versions of Xubuntu (32 and 64 bit). and Grub as multiboot loader. I removed the 32 bit version and assigned the free space to the 64 bit version using the Gparted bootCD, but now Grub can't find any partition anymore at boottime. All I get is this message and prompt when I try to boot my computer: error: no such partition grub rescue. My Linux partition is supposed to be sda6. When using the 'ls' command I get quite few entries, from which one is (hd0,6), which is sda6 I suppose.I can list the contents of directories on (hd0,6).I've tried instrucions from this page, but many commands don't work, like 'linux', 'initrd' and 'boot'.I really don't want to loose my current OS's. Is there a way to recover fom this so I get the Grub boot menu with my Win7 and Xubuntu entries again?

Ubuntu :: Grub Cannot Find Partition / Set It To Search?
Jun 27, 2011I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a clean hard drive. Everything went well and I ended up giving /home it's own partition. After a while I figured I would dual boot with windows 7 and my mbr got overwritten. Now after this happened I googles how to fix it and found the same answer almost everywhere. It had me go into terminal and run grub an find my partition and setup grub again. All of this was done off a livecd. The only problem was that my livecd didn't have the grub shell installed. Everytime I ran "sudo grub" it would say "sudo: grub: command not found" I tried to install it but it kept giving me errors and I only once actually got into grub, but it could not find my partition. Whenever I typed "find /boot/grub/stage1" it said directory does not exist. So I attempted to fix it my own way. I installed another version of ubuntu along Sid the first. This allowed me to triple boot between the two versions of ubuntu and windows 7. So I booted into my original ubuntu (11.04) and deleted the older version of ubuntu with gparted. I deleted the partition and restarted, but when I restarted I got an error saying that grub could not find the partition. I can boot into my original ubuntu through the ultimate boot cd but it is a round a bout way of doing it. Is there anyway I can set grub to search for ubuntu 11.04 on startup instead of the deleted version of ubuntu?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: GRUB Can't Find 9.10 After Restoring Image To New Drive?
Mar 31, 2010I've been running a dual boot set-up with Win XP and Ubuntu 9.10. The old 40 gb drive was showing signs of impending failure, so I replaced it with a new 120 gb drive, after saving an image of the old setup. After restoring the image from the original drive to the new one, Windows boots fine from the GRUB menu, but Ubuntu doesn't. I briefly see the Ubuntu "circle" then the screen goes blank. If I hit any key, I get a console screen of error messages (I can provide details if needed).
I think the problem is caused by the fact that the restore process scaled the saved image to fit the new, larger drive, with the result that the Ubuntu partition doesn't actually start where GRUB expects to find it. I'd like to recover the Ubuntu installation, but if is too big a deal, I'll just wait until 10.4 is released and do a clean install.
Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Is Unable To Find Partition
Oct 4, 2010I have a 9.10 ubuntu desktop on a tower (bought 2004) working fine, and wanted to add a 10.4 server on an additional partition. After install, I stated grub may be newly written, as the list of os was fine. After reboot I got "grub rescue>" I managed to get the system working again, and now I have a grub2 menu list stating correct entries. But when I select the server entry the boot fails telling "disk not found" (The UUID of the partition given is correct, and also shown when accessing the partition from the 9.10 desktop (this needs an additional authentification when mounting) grub shell command ls does not show the partition, all other tools (life-CD, working installation, gparted etc.) do show it normally, I cannot find any difference. The partition is on the beginning of the disk
