Thread: how to safely uninstall another Ubuntu on dual boot
hi,
testing posposes installed mythbuntu (9.10) in dual boot next older (9.04) one.
want uninstall ofcourse grub loaded there, can't delete partition.
how can safely remove , come old grub?
if can boot older ubuntu not need chroot. x,y drive-x, partition-y if known or use sudo fdisk -l see partitions. note grub numbering different ubuntu or new grub.
old grub sda1=(hd0,0), partition numbering in old grub starts @ 0.
if need chroot:
sudo mount /dev/sdxy/mnt
in dev proc sys; mount --bind /$i /mnt/$i; done
sudo chroot /mnt
working install required reinstall grub or after chroot above:
grub
@ grub prompt:
find /boot/grub/stage1 #you response such root (hd0,5)
root (hdx,y) #use numbers previous command x drive, y partition
setup (hd0) # if drive0 or sda
quit
how restore ubuntu/xp/vista/7 bootloader (updated ubuntu 9.10)
