GRUB2 tips

In case something is f****d up with multiple partitions, multiple grubs etc.

1)Live Ubuntu CD startup

2)sudo fdisk -l

to check the right sda (in my case sda2)

3)sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot

sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev

sudo chroot /mnt

grub-install /dev/sda

4) Cntrl+D

5)sudo umount /mnt/dev

sudo umount /mnt
