Hi all,
Once again I need your help.
I have debian wheezy installed on my primary HDD sda1, and I
just installed Mint 17 on separate HDD sdb2.
Now the GRUB of the MINT 17 took over the grub of Debian,
but I don't like look of ths new grub installed by Mint.
Is there anyway to revive the debian's GRUB or edit the menu
of Mint's GRUB?
Thanks for your help.
Man without clue
--------------------------------------------
Boot into wheezy on sda1 and run update-grub. That has sorted things for me in the past.
That will update the Grub menu...but it will still be displayed by
the Grub installed on sdb2.
What you want I think is to run install-grub as root from your Debian
partition... ie as root "install-grub /dev/sda1"
I stumbled on that a few weeks ago while flailing about trying to solve
some other problem (flailing about is my standard troubleshooting
technique). Works like a charm. The command, not flailing about.
