Re: Re-install grub.

[Thierry LARMIER <tlarmier@free.fr>]

Thanks all.

It's working. What I did :

I boot with Ubuntu Live CD 64bit.

Just after I choosed the keyboard I go to tty2.

1:  #mkdir newroot
2:  #mount /dev/hda3 newroot/    (hda3 is my root)
3:  #chroot newroot

If i do
#grub-install /dev/hda
I have an error : "Invalid device requested"

So I did to continue
4:  #grub 
5:  >root (hd0,2)
6:  >setup (hd0)
7:  >quit
