Rep Power: 2      |  Bootloader is unable to write new MBR. I have xp with LINUX . Due to some problem I lost my MBR .I forgot about LINUX and restored MBR through Xp CD. But now when I try to create a new MBR, GRUB is unable to write entries in to MBR. How can I solve it ? And I have also tried installing a new copy of LINUX but everything goes fine without any error; it shows bootloader installation successful, but the problem still persists after reboot. It boots directly to xp. Is there any solution ? |

Rep Power: 1 | Seems very strange!!! Have you checked the menu.lst in in /boot/grub after installation (may be you can boot from a livecd and check the same). May be wait time will be too small and default will be xp so it boots directly to xp. Edit: you may try this http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ Last edited by matrix; 10-14-09 at 10:48 AM. |
