Have you ever lost your GRUB loader because overwritten by Windows loader ? It's happen to me today, and I want to recovery it! It's not hard to do, you just need a Linux live CD/DVD to recovery your GRUB and these commands below.
- First, boot your live linux and open the terminal.
- Make sure you are login into root. If you're not, type sudo su and type your password .
- Type fdisk -l to show all your harddisk drive partition list.
- Search for your linux partition and remember it ! example my linux is at /dev/sda5
- okay then. I should mount it, so type mount /dev/sda5/ /mnt
- You should mount another system components by type this :
- mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev
- mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc
- mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys
- Now, set your new root, type chroot /mnt
- Type update-grub to check if my Windows loader is detected too.
- To install grub, type grub-install /dev/sda
- Okay, thats all, now try to reboot your computer, type reboot.
Oh , i tried this scenario also ! I try to delete the /boot/grub folder and try to recovery it, simple, just type grub-install /dev/sda and it will be created again by GRUB.
And it works perfectly on my computer, may it will help you someday.
