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

restore grub on mbr

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD

Hi :)

Have you fixed this problem yet? I think the answer is to re-install grub2 either from a "LiveCd" or from inside the installed Ubuntu. Either way is fine.

So, can you boot into the Ubuntu you installed?

If not, have you still got an Ubuntu Cd or can you make/get one? (or Usb). Put the Cd in the cd/dvd-drive and reboot the machine. This 'should' get you to a pop-up dialogue box with 2 buttons, choose "Try Ubuntu", NOT the "Install" option. This 'should' get you to a working desktop. We call this a "LiveCd session" even if you use a Usb to get here. Firefox there should be able to get you into Launchpad here.

Once you have booted into Ubuntu (or any other gnu&linux distro) please get to the command-line

Applications - Accessories - Terminal

and give us the results of this command

sudo fdisk -l

where "-l" is a lower-case "-L". This will help us to help you work through this guide from step4

Good luck and regards from
