Default Vista and GRUB


I just installed Vista Home Basic. It removed my existing GRUB. I tried to restore it but is says that no kernel module was found and that no change will be made to existing boot loader configuration. I have XP, 2000 and now Vista. I used Ubuntu Live CD to figure out that my partition was hda8. now how do i restore GRUB?
TIA.

Default Re: Vista and GRUB

i messed up my grub couple of days ago. here is the procedure to fixed it. boot from ubuntu cd. once done open terminal and type these comands...without #

#sudo gurb

#find /boot/grub/stage1

Your output should look something like this (hd0,3). That’s your hard drive/partition. remember that..

#root (hd0,3) <----- replace (hd0,3) with what you get.

#setup (hd0)

quit

now reboot. everything will be fine.
