Re: [PLUG] Grub

Have used this tool many times before to fix weird boot issues.

Also, if using EFI, try this boot manager. Just looks and reports back the options out there.. less a repair and more a way to easily get into anything EFI

That's my 10 cents!

Bit of a problem

Sda: (dual boot)
Sda1: tiny partition. Ntfs
Sda2: win. Ntfs
Sda3: lin. Ext4

Sdb Ext4, i think
All Extended

Sdb installed recently. When i removed it, I got the grub prompt. I sure didn't put boot files on it.

After boot rescue i can get into win. There's a choice for lin but it goes right to grub. When i do 'ls', instead of the drives, i get a list of win files.

I also tried rescatux, with no luck. When it tried to correct things there was an error installing grub, but i didn't have a need to know what it was.

I've done all sorts of research, but it doesn't apply or work. It seems like it should be so easy, as there's a choice of which to boot. I have to hook sda3 to the lin side of the boot choice. It's just not working out or i goofed

Ideas welcome.
Thanks
