Restoring my Linux/GRUB2

FeFiDoh · 30 Sep 2012 at 13:28

Ok so I had Win 7 installed on an SSD and Ubuntu and a different drive. I use to get the grub boot at startup to select what OS.
I bought a new SSD so installed a fresh version of Windows 7 and lost my loader.

I have tried a few different ways of trying to get it back but have been unsuccessful.

This is from bootloader
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1248069/

I tried booting to live cd
sudo gurb
find /boot/stage 1 etc..
root (hdx,x) no avail.

Have tried mounting the drive dev/sdd -- root-directory=/mnt

Didn't work either and think a few other methods but haven't been able to get it sorted.

Any ideas of what I can do?
Thank you!

I tried that it looked as if it had done something but alas nothing on reboot :/

If I change my boot priority to the drive that has Linux on it loads a command/terminal looking prompt for grub > and that is it.

I have no idea! I am a total Linux noob so it has all taken me ages! I thought I had it sorted yesterday it seemed to work, well I made it further than before and had no mnt errors, restarted back to grub>
