get a list of OS's to choose from, and when I select DSL it http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-5-12263-0.html get "Error 15 file not found". I tried reinstalling DSL with both Lilo and Grub boot loaders, than with no boot loader. It still doesn't work, and when I http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-5-19231-0.html tried to start Xubuntu I just got a spew of error messages.So now both versions of linux on that machine are dead and I know very little about linux (that machine was going to me my learning tool) so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Error 15 means that the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst is pointing to a file that doesn't exist.I get this quite often if I have to edit by hand and end up mistyping the version numbers in a kernel filename.ivan original here.

2005, 07:07 PMRestore GRUB quite simple in Ubuntu, instead going through all the "gain root access" and play with shell commands, you can use the Ubuntu installation CD to restore it without going through all kinds of hassles. Here are the steps: 1. Boot your computer up with Ubunto CD 2. Go through all the process until you reech "[!!!] Disk Partition" 3. Select Manual Partition 4. Mount your appropriate linux partions / /boot swap ..... 5. DO NOT FORMAT THEM. 6. Finish the manual partition 7. Say "Yes" when it asks you to save the changes 8. It will give you errors saying that "the system couldn't install ....." after that 9. Ignore them, keep select "continue" until you get back to the Ubuntu installation menu 10. Jump to "Install Grub ...." 11. Once it is finished, just restart your computer Good luck!. remmeltApril 6th, 2005, 11:11 AMIsn't it easier to do this: 1. Pop in the Live CD, boot from it until you reach the desktop. 2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty. 3. Type "grub" 4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub). 5. Type "setup (hd0)", ot whatever your harddisk nr is. 6. Quit grub by typing "quit". 7. Reboot. I may be missing your point though, if so, please forgive me :) Restore GRUB quite simple in Ubuntu, instead going through all the "gain root access" and play with shell commands, you can use the Ubuntu installation CD to restore it without going through all kinds of hassles.

That is why I brought up an alternative. TomyApril 7th, 2005, 12:53 AM:) Your way is definately faster, but for newbies, many of them try to avoid command line as much as possible.

Last time I messed up grub I used the Live CD method but did not write anything down so today I searched for "grub" and f
