Here's a scenario, You reinstalled Windows
on your dual booting PC and it replaced Grub2 with it's own bootloader and now you
can't boot into your Linux. Or your Grub2 for some reason or other got
corrupted and you are unable to boot your operating systems.
Well worry not cause it's relatively easy to fix this problem.

All we'll need is a Live CD of
any Linux Distro. Boot the CD and once you are running the live
environment open the Terminal Emulator and execute the following
commands. Replace the 'sda1' in the article with the partition where your Linux is installed. You will also have to change 'sda' with your hard disk.
Command 'fdisk -l' will give you all the info regarding your hdd and partitions.

Okay then lets recover Grub2
su
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sdaupdate-grub
exit
umount /mnt
rebootThat's it! On reboot you'll have good old grub menu to greet you!!! Cheers!!!
