I am unable to shutdown. Whenever I try to shutdown, it reboots. I am running Ubuntu 12.10.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and it refuses to boot. I tried to use a boot repair disk, but no luck I'll paste the info from the boot repair below:

Boot Info Script 0.60 from 17 May 2011

============================= Boot Info Summary: ===============================

=> Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 1 of the same hard drive for core.img.

My Wubi install no longer boots and seems to be missing. I cannot remove it or reinstall.

Here is the bootinfoscript results:

=> Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 1 of the same hard drive for core.img.

I installed grub2-bios into partition ,instead of MBR.I removed /boot/grub directory before the upgrade just in case# chattr -i /boot/grub/core.img # rm -rf /boot/grub/ # pacman -Syu # modprobe dm-modAfter grub2-bios and grub2-common have been upgraded , I ran# grub-install --directory=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/boot --recheck --force --debug /dev/sda1 # chattr +i /bo

So, I installed the newest Ubuntu from live usb choosing the side by side option. Now I can only boot to ubuntu and can't access or even find anything related to windows.

I cannot boot into Linux or Windows now.

I did the boot repair but every time I turn my computer on it goes to Windows then into recovery mode and I went through that and it still brings me back.

I can only get in Ubuntu through the live disc.

This is my paste:

============================= Boot Info Summ

I have an old hard disk drive (the ribbon one) that I see using usb has a boot partition but don't see anything else.

So, I thought to try to boot up the the disk (which is running legacy grub) over usb from grub2 to check it out.

But, google has failed me.

I have two drives. Drive A has windows xp on it (only 1 partition) and the partition is encrypted with TrueCrypt. Drive B has a boot partition that has GRUB2 stuff on it and also an LVM partition that has Arch Linux in it.
