Bring back the (missing) GRUB

This was happened when a friend of mine wanted to install PCLinuxOS into his machine. The installation was successful, but he came back a day after it and complained that his Microsoft Windows could not be booted. We decided to re-install the Windows even I minded with the fact that we have to re-install PCLOS also.

We installed Microsoft Windows into his machine, but I insisted not to re-installed his PCLOS. I went to Google and found a way to bring the Grub back, but in Ubuntu version. Since we just re-installed the windows, we decided to try this way out....no matter what it's cost !!

Thanks to our guts.......we succeeded in bringing the Grub back

Here's the steps;

• boot by using Linux live CD, go to terminal and run -->> sudo grub
• you're in grub menu now, then type -->> find /boot/grub/stage1
• It will display your grub position, example (hd0,4) or (hd0,5)
• Then type -->> root (hd*,*) -- ( replace the * with your grub position – (hd0,4))
• Then type -->> setup (hd0)
• The above statement will replace your windows MBR configuration
• Then close the grub menu by typing -->> quit
• Reboot your machine -->> sudo reboot
• Above steps are only for Ubuntu clans, for others : without sudo
