MBR help
So in an attempt to create a dual booting system, I used unetbootin to install ubuntu on a second hard drive (windows xp being on the master drive)
The installer used GRUB boot loader to edit the MBR somehow and let me choose the OS i wanted.
It worked well, and was fine until i realized I hadn't installed the GUI version.
I repeated the install and everything seemed to work fine until I rebooted and saw GRUB Error 15. I assume on the second install GRUB messed itself up since it was already there.
I am now in Slax Live CD since my OSs are inaccessible.
Is there any way to edit my MBR or the GRUB file from SLAX? Maybe if I just delete GRUB.exe (i can see it) and start over again?
I know very little about this. Please me out here. Thank you.
