I recently installed Windows 7 on Ubuntu and used EasyBCD (in windows) to manage the grub. After deleting the windows partition, I am unable to login to Ubuntu since at startup, I am stuck with the boot menu created by EasyBCD which doesn't work now.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in anticipation!
You should be able to boot from any linux distro live cd eg. Ubuntu and then mount the partitions and install grub (XY will be different in your case):
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdXY /mnt
if you need to see how to mount other filesystem please see :
man mount
mount your filesystem and bind to the directories
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev &&
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts &&
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc &&
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
change the root :
sudo chroot /mnt
Now your can run install and update grub using (name sdX should be different in your case) :
grub-install /dev/sdX
grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX
update-grub
Now exit chroot, unmount and reboot and it should work.
