i installed Ubuntu on my computer but there was an error when it tried to install the Grub boot loader so i choose to manually install it myself after i installed Ubuntu.now when i start my computer i have to run Ubuntu off the live disk but it is installed but i need help on installing the boot loader. I'm kinda new at this so real easy step-by-step instructions would be best thanks
Will be the procedure to install grub from a live cd, for a installation on the hard disk.
If you're new to it, contact a near LUG, and ask someone to assist you if possible. That's always better. Installing grub is easy, just get the packages installed. Then open the grub shell and identify the disk you've installed it to, for this task you can use the find command [try with /boot/grub/stage1 or /grub/stage1], and use the root command to tell grub where it's files are (the argument is the result of the previous command, (hdX,Y)). Finally, you can use setup (hdX) to write to the disk's master boot record. That's all...
