Does anyone use windows 10 technical preview with Ubuntu (Dual Boot)?

[Gibreel Abdullah]

I installed Windows 10 preview few days back and dual booted it with Ubuntu 14.10.
When I updated to the latest build of Win 10, Grub was replaced by windows and I can't login to Ubuntu. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Try to boot in a live cd of Ubuntu. And install refind, i think it will work

Boot into an Ubuntu live CD/USB, open the terminal, and type the following:​

sudo grub​

root (hd0,0) (Where the first number is the hard drive containing grub and the second is the partition containing it so the numbers may vary.)

setup (hd0) (Again, change 0 with the hard drive location of grub.)

​exit​

Then remove the live CD/USB and reboot. If you need help finding the location of grub, you can try using ​find /boot/grub/stage1 to determine it. Hopefully this helps you.

"grubroot" is not a command. At least my terminal does not accept it.

Sorry, something weird happened with the formatting.

The commands should be ​sudo grub​, root (hdx, y), setup (hdx), and ​exit. x being the drive grub is located on and y being the partition it's in.

​Just to clarify, "sudo grub" and "root" are separate commands and you only need to call sudo once.

Well there was no data worth saving in Ubuntu. So I did a fresh install and Grub was back. Thanx anyway, might use these commands when the next build comes. :smile:
