Hello.
I have a "laptop" computer with winXP Pro, Unbuntu 8.04 and Debian 5 (I think it is 5), installed.
With a recent electricity supply failure, I ran an orderly shutdown
on the computer.
Since that shutown, each time that I reboot the computer, it takes
me to the GRUB prompt (rather than the GRUB boot menu), and
I cannot boot the computer into any operating system.
How do I get GRUB to configure itself, to detect the installed operating systems so the computer is usable once again?
I would suggest burning a copy of the Grub Super Boot Disk
and booting from that. Once you get the OS booted, you can
re-install Grub.

Or, has GRUB destroyed the software build of the computer, and all of the data, requiring a complete reinstallation of all of
the operating systems installed on the computer?
Thank you in anticipation.
