Restore GRUB Legacy

15.12.2009. at 23:30 Leave a comment

This method requires any live GNU/Linux distribution that has ‘GRUB Legacy’ for default bootloader. So after booting live distribution from CD/DVD/USB, and opening command line, here are 4 steps that will restore your GRUB:

  1. Start grub using this command (the ‘no-floppy’ option will speed up GRUB starting time):
    sudo grub --no-floppy
  2. Now if boot partition, that you want to restore GRUB from (it contains ”/boot/grub/stage1′ file), is on the second partition, you’ll type:
    root (hd0,1)
  3. Setup GRUB on MBR:
    setup (hd0)
  4. And quit:
    quit

For more options there are always man pages, help in grub interface, and on-line manual.
