I tried the third command, and it said file not found, does this mean windows overwrote grub or something, becuase I had exactly the same set up with debian before and had no trouble.


cheers for the help

you didn't provide your grub.conf like I asked. or which partion and harddrive your windows is installed to. I guessing that since you said windows is installed on a second hard drive it is probably sdb1 but I don't know. you probably just need to add a map hd option to your grub.conf But, because you didn't provide it like asked I don't know.

Hi, yeah i tried the grub config command and it said file not found, that's why i asked if grub had been overwritten by windows or something. Windows is installed on sda1, the drive called current sys under the blk id info.

Tbh I'm a complete beginner on Linux, so my knowledge is poor. Until a couple of days ago i didn't know how to get on a terminal. And those are the first commands I have used. I had to use the live disk in order to input the commands. Cheers for your help.

You have to do this as root, type su then your password

~ $ su
Password:
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf

Have fun

Hi, I logged in as root, and typed it in, I even tried other paths, and navigated to the conf file in the explorer but i can't seem to see the contemts. I tried it in a terminal window in the GUI and also tried the F1 terminal. Hmm any clues.

Cheers

According to your fdisk Sabayon is on sdc

So using your live DVD you would have to mount the Sabayon partition on sdc that contains the directory /boot/grub
All your grub files will be in that directory, but I can not tell you which partition you will find them

Could be on sdc1 which is ext4 or sdc2 which is lvm2pv

Did you check the links kodiakmax gave to you

Have fun
Joe
