It's kinda OT, but I really need some help and this is the most active forum I know of.<br><br>I've been running a dual-boot system: Ubuntu Studio and Window$ XP. Of course, Windows needs reinstalled every month because of 'problems', so I just finished a reinstall.<br>
<br>The problem is, it re-wrote my MBR and put its dumb boot loader in. Now my pc will only boot windows, because GRUB is no longer in the MBR.<br><br>My drive looks like this:<br><br>hd0,0: Windows<br>hd0,1: swap<br>hd0,2: Studio<br>
<br>So I need to have GRUB in (hd0,0)'s MBR to boot. When I try "grub-install /dev/sda0" it install grub. However, using the chainloader on (hd0,0) causes grub to start <i>again </i>instead of windows, thus causing an endless loop.<br>
<br>So I need to install it in the MBR without messing with the boot sector, I think. (I've done the dos command fixmbr and fixboot, so now windows boots and linux wont again.)<br><br>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!<br>
