Lost Grub2 after installing Win7

[Mons1]

Hi!
I have Mint8 installed and then i installed Win7.
All Windows install will remove Linux-boot, so i need info to restore Grub2-gfx-menu again.

How do i restore Grub2-gfx after Win7 installation?

Hi,

You need to boot into a LiveCD. From there, open a terminal and mount your main Linux Mint partition. For the purposes of explanation I will use /dev/sda1.

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

Now you can reinstall grub by issuing this command in terminal, again assuming your device is /dev/sda

Code: Select all

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda

Cheers

Hi!
Thanks, but what happens now...I got Grub back, but it only comes up with something that look like a cmd-terminal with a command-prompt.
TAB show me a list over all commands.

I think i miss some config-file that contain information about OS-installation.

It sounds like grub2 needs update-grub ran to find everything again and make the menu. You should use the chroot (Method 3) method to reinstall and also run update-grub before leaving the chroot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ... m%20LiveCD
