Please tell me you don't consider yourself a sysadmin of any description? Regardless of whether this 'supergrub' does or does not work what actions do you think it could carry out that someone of suitable knowledge would not be able to do? Indeed the live CD technique shown above with the bind'd /dev filesystem to a chroot will work fine for the majority of situations. The very fact you mixed up ext4 which is a filesystem with grub2 which is a bootloader application leaves the rest of your so called technical details suspect... Try not to mislead people with a subject you do not understand the basics of nevermind the fundamentals... Now back to lurking for a while ;-) Sent from Android Mobile On 8 Aug 2010 15:57, "Karl Larsen" <<a href="mailto:klarsen1@gmail.com">klarsen1@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > On 08/08/2010 08:08 AM, Tom H wrote: >> On Sun, Aug 8, 2010 at 8:21 AM, Karl Larsen<<a href="mailto:klarsen1@gmail.com">klarsen1@gmail.com</a>> wrote: >> >>> On 08/07/2010 06:44 PM, Jordon Bedwell wrote: >>> >>>> On 08/07/2010 07:40 PM, Tom H wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>>> On Sat, Aug 7, 2010 at 6:54 PM, Jordon Bedwell<<a href="mailto:jordon@envygeeks.com">jordon@envygeeks.com</a>> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> I'm glad that someone understood what Karl was referring to; although >>>>> I don't understand the "== Win". >>>>> >>>>> Also: >>>>> >>>>> It should be >>>>> sudo mount /dev/sdaX /repair >>>>> not >>>>> sudo mount /dev/sda /repair >>>>> where sdaX is the root partition. >>>>> >>>>> >>>> Yeah I was too lazy since I expected him to have chosen the "Noob >>>> recommendation" of putting everything onto a single partition, the >>>> missing X is a typo though.
