Dual boot system, Win XP and Ubuntu 11 with Grub, working fine. Update from 11.10 to 12.04 runs smooth, at end I reboot. At boot, Grub menu won't appear, I get: error: out of partition grub rescue>

Tried the boot-repair disk.

Following a fresh install of 12.04 on a dual HDD dual boot system first boot brought up Grub Rescue.

I installed Boot Repair in a live CD and ran the recommended repair. Boot Repair indicated a successful repair.

Upon reboot there is no entry for Win XP.

Gparted shows sda as full as it was before installing 12.04.

Ok, so I'm having this problem. I have also seen something called Boot Repair

Any help?

I upgraded my laptop and when I reboot it, I have problems with grub. I put the live CD and tried to download the boot-repair, by putting in the terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install boot-repair it downloads everything but then, when i use dash to open it, it doesn't appear in applications, where is it?

On my computer I have a dual-boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10. Ubuntu was just installed from a USB flash drive.

Earlier today i installed ubuntu 12.10 beta. Grub wasn't booting, but just going directly to my primary OS Windows 7.

Afterwards, grub appeared, but i only had options for Ubuntu, Advanced Ubuntu Option, and my hidden windows 7 recovery partition.

Make a new Ubuntu Live CD and Boot from it.

Install boot-repair using these commands:

Mythbuntu 12.04 - I attempted to move one data drive to a different sata port, now the system doesn't boot (all drives are back to the original sata ports).

I ran boot-repair (using 12.04 live CD, ran the recommended repair) No change, the system doesn't boot.

I can boot the system off a rescue CD, choosing to boot off the correct boot drive.
