The Outsider
Beneath The Eyelids
reinstalled windows and then tried to restore grub,
my root partition is /dev/hdb4
first i tried the Kubuntu Edgy alternate install cd from which i had installed the distro.
Entered the rescue mode and tried to install the grub on mbr (/dev/hdb), after 50% i got an error, "grub-install failed and returned with an error code 20", then with the same options i tried it on root partition (/dev/hdb4), same error.
then i tried the dapper live shipit cd.
"sudo grub-install /dev/hdb"
got an error "the file /boot/stage2 could not be read properly"
"sudo grub-install /dev/hdb4"
got the same error "the file /boot/stage2 could not be read properly"
tried the other thing
"sudo grub"
"setup /dev/hdb"
got some wierd error which said the same thing /boot/stage2 could not be read proerply.
btw, instead of "/dev/hd*" notation i tried every method with the grub notation i.e. "(hd0,4)" etc but the same errors.
thanks for your time mates.
