In case you mess up your Grub install… do this (I learned by messing my GRUB)..

Step 1: Insert Linux Live CD and reboot into Live Mode

Step 2: Run Terminal

Step 3: Do “sudo grub”. This will take you to the GRUB Prompt.

Step 4: Do “find /boot/grub/stage”. This will give a result in the form of (hdx,y) where x and y are numbers. There might be a series of results, but we nee dthe first one. In my case it was (hd0,1) so using the same as example.

Step 5: Do “root (hd0,1)”

Step 6: Do “setup (hd0)”

A series of messages will come and you are all done. Reboot and fall in love with the GRUB menu all over again.
