I had previous Ubuntu 11.10 installation which was done using Wubi in
D: drive of my computer the corresponding grub.cfg entries are
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1546414/
now I wanted to use new Ubuntu 12.04 so I deleted the previous
installation from D: drive
then installed Ubuntu 12.04 I accidentally instead of installing it in
D: drive I installed in C: drive and grub entries here are
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1546422/
I was not having space in C: drive so I moved the ubuntu folder from
C: drive to D: drive but I surprisingly could not boot,
realizing that grub.cfg needed to be updated I opened the old grub.cfg
(this 11.10 was installed in D: drive)
and checked the UUIDs which are (for previous 11.10 install in D: drive)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 8E9E86339E86143D
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic root=UUID=8E9E86339E86143D
loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
in the new 12.04 grub.cfg (which was accidentally installed in C: drive )
has following (for 12.04 in C: drive)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root E4ACAFF5ACAFC082
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-29-generic root=UUID=E4ACAFF5ACAFC082
loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
I have since moved the entire Folder C:\ubuntu to D: drive so it is
now D:\ubuntu
what I notice is the old UUID entries (from 11.10 ) are not the same
as the UUID entries in 12.04 is there a way to fix this
,installation was done in C:\ by Wubi but now I have moved the entire
folder of ubuntu to D: drive
the OS was windows 7 ,Ubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 12.04
