Correct way to re-install grub in Ubuntu
Solution 1:
The standard way is grub-install
, so if you e.g. want to install grub
on /dev/sda
you would run
grub-install hd0
or
grub-install /dev/sda
If you use some other, additional boot manager in /dev/sda
adjust the parameter to grub-install
.
For some details see info grub-install
.
EDIT
Assuming you are installing to /dev/sda
(replace with whatever partition you use), you might want to back-up your boot sector with
dd if=/dev/sda of=boot_sector.bak bs=512 count=1
so you could restore it later in case of errors with
dd if=boot_sector.bak of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
