Thread: BURG Installed Incorrectly - How to remove GRUB2 from Wrong Partition

i installed ubuntu 10.04 via alternate cd full disk encryption.

wanted alter grub2 menu installed burg after reading thread:

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/b...-themeing.html

once opened burg manager application prompted install burg , asked install it. default sda bad if you're running full disk encryption. did this. should have chosen /dev/mapper/computername-root /dev/sda1.

have nice pretty burg screen doesn't take me unlock screen. make matters worse, before realized had done, used nice gui restore grub /dev/sda.

believe need remove grub2/burg /dev/sda , somehow mbr looking in right place again.

able choose, “ubuntu gnu/linux ,with linux 2.6.32-24-generic (recovery mode)”. rather sloppily enter passphrase, choose boot normal option, enter username & password, startx.

i've been browsing forums day , can't seem find similar screw up.

ideas on how rid of grub /dev/sda , mbr looking @ /dev/sda1 again if that's even issue!?

here's sudo fdisk -l

code:

help!

thank you.

you might able go command line , type:

code:

sudo grub

which should give grub boot prompt, looks this:

code:

grub>

change correct disk , partition with:

code:

root (hd0,0)

hd0 being first disk, , 0 being first partition on first disk. if want point grub first disk's second partition, you'd use:

code:

root (hd0,1)

for third partition on first disk, root (hd0,2); or, second disk's first partition you'd use: root (hd1,0), , on.

once you've done root command appropriate disk , partition, can setup grub with:

code:

setup (hd0)

that is, if you're on first disk.

if can point grub right place , boot easily, might able backtrack burg's install , point right place.

let me know if helps @ all.
