In any way shape or form do I take credit for this. I just had a grub boot loader issue and I wanted to put this out there for anyone else whom may encounter the same issue. This first website has two programs that you can pick from. You can burn them to a disk, mount to USB flash drive or mount to floppy disk. I personally like the
Super Grub2 Disk it being only 2.0 MB (it says 1.44 but in my downloads folder it says 2.0 MB *
shrugs*) the other one is called
Rescatux it is in the 400 MB range. With these programs you can boot into your OS if your boot loader is faulty in anyway. In my case it was pretty much gone. That's what I get for messing around, but hey that's how you learn. I will be keeping this disk close by from now on. Here is the website:
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
if you do use this program after you log in you can re install your grub boot loader with this command
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc
I am not sure if you have to update it but if need be
Another method I was trying was to fix it using my Live-CD but I didn't know what I was doing. I had fixed my issue with the above website, but still curious I found this
how-to from Ubuntu and from the looks of it the method(s) can be applied (if not I apologize I am a noob)

Again I take no credit for this work all credit goes to the rightful owners, I am merely trying to help. Thank you
