I loaded ubuntu 10.04 done the updates rebooted and I lost grub 1.98 how do I fix this problem ? I don't think this computer likes this version of grub , because it did the same way with 9.10 .

Hello
have you already tried a grub restore from a live session ?
Start the live session, open a terminal and run
sudo fdisk -l
appoint the partition where Ubuntu is installed (suppose /dev/sda1)
run in terminal all this commands one at time
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub2
exit
cd ~
sudo umount /mnt/dev
sudo umount /mnt/proc
sudo umount /mnt/sys
sudo umount /mnt/

Reboot the system
Thanks
Fabio

Hi :)

Have you been able to sort the problem yet? Do you have an Ubuntu Cd? Does the machine boot-up into Windows, Ubuntu or anything else?

Have you been able to boot-up from the Ubuntu Cd using the "Try Ubuntu" rather than the "Install" option?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD

If you can boot into any Ubuntu (or any other linux) then please get to a command-line, in UBuntu that is

Applications - Accessories - Terminal

and try to give us the output from this command

sudo fdisk -l

where "-l" is a lower-case "-L". Copy&paste using keyboard short-cuts doesn't work on the command-line but mouse paste is always good :) Please let us know the answers to any of the above, don't worry if there are some things you can't answer. Just let us know what you can.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Yes I fixed the problem I appreciate it thanks . Cokecan42

Cool cool
Congrats :)

By the way, when you get an email from launchpad it is better to follow the link into the particular thread here rather than just replying to the email. It is also worth knowing that this is a public forum so telling personal information is not usually a good idea. Luckily in your case you have only told us things that are fairly safe to tell random strangers :)

Many congrats and regards from
Tom :)
