Hello.
I have a "laptop" computer with winXP Pro, Unbuntu 8.04 and Debian 5 (I think
it is 5), installed.
With a recent electricity supply failure, I ran an orderly shutdown
on the computer.
Since that shutown, each time that I reboot the computer, it takes
me to the GRUB prompt (rather than the GRUB boot menu), and
I cannot boot the computer into any operating system.
How do I get GRUB to configure itself, to detect the installed operating
systems so the computer is usable once again?
I would suggest burning a copy of the Grub Super Boot Disk
and booting from that. Once you get the OS booted, you can
re-install Grub.

Or, has GRUB destroyed the software build of the computer, and all of the data,
requiring a complete reinstallation of all of
the operating systems installed on the computer?
Thank you in anticipation.

Hello.
Thank you for that.
In going to that URL, there are two SuperGRUB downloads, and a
"Rescatux" download.
Would I be better to use the SuperGRUB thing, or the RescaTux thing?
Thank you in anticipation.
