GRUB Loader
If you have windows installed next to your Linux distro and/or tried to mess around with your partitions or perhaps your boot loader for any reason, chances are you’ll end up with an unaccessible Linux distro because your GRUB Loader won’t be triggered at startup.
To fix this issue you’ll need a Live CD of any linux distro of any version - you basically need access to a shell terminal. Once you boot into your Live CD fire up a shell terminal and run the following commands (as root):
$ sudo grub # sudo is for *ubuntu only $ find /boot/grub/stage1
This previous command should return something like (hd4,9), take that same output and use it in the following command:
$ root (hd4,9) $ setup (hd0) $ quit
That’s it. Now you can restart into GRUB just as you used to do.
