I just had to reinstall windows, and it overwrote the boot record, I
now boot to a screen that says
windows xp home edition
windows xp professional
I got into a live cd and tried this:
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
root (hd0,5)
setup (hd0)
and got:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5)
grub> root (hd0,5)
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed
Error 22: No such partition
What's wrong? I've also tried setup (hd0,5) with similar results.
Is this because I'm using i'm using the 7.10 live cd on an 8.04
install? I'm not sure where my 8.04 disc went.
