Thread: adding grub to a hard drive

-

i purchased thinkpad t410.
thinkpad came windows 7.

decided wanted use solid state hard drive, , morning recieved , managed copy files over.

ran dd copy partitions:
dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb2 (windows)
dd if=/dev/sda5 of=/dev/sdb3 (ubuntu)

problem new hard drive doesn't appear have grub on it.

how install grub? can live disk?


(partitions below: sda being old, sdb being new)
code:
the original hard drive this:  /dev/sda1 system_drv  /dev/sda2 windows7_os  /dev/sda4 extended  -> /dev/sda5 ubuntu ext4  -> /dev/sda6 swap  /dev/sda3 recovery partition    new hard drive  /dev/sdb2 windows7_os  /dev/sdb3 ubuntu  /dev/sdb1 extended  -> /dev/sda5 swap

probably need review this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
