HELP!! Get Usplash Back...

[b0uncyfr0]

So being the idiot that i am i decided to disable usplash om startup. I know very stupid and now im stuck with a cmd on boot that says grub>.
Is there any way to get usplash back? Is there a file i could edit that would change anything because i have access to the drive on my XP partition. I really dont want to format over this, so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How did you ?


Maybe HOW TO: GRUB Methods - Toolkit helps.

I tried repairing it and got "suceeded" messages but nothings changed. Its the cmd-line version of GRUB. i just need a way to to turn it back to graphical or verbose.

Re: HELP!! Get Usplash Back...

If this is menu.lst problem (How/what did you edit ?):

If you have backup (of menu.lst)
- Start with live CD
- Restore /boot/grub/menu.lst (this is in the harddrive)

If you don't have backup
- Start with Super Grub Disk
- in the konsole:

sudo update-grub

man update-grub tells:

update-grub - program to generate GRUB’s menu.lst file

DESCRIPTION
update-grub is a program used to generate the menu.lst file used by the
grub bootloader. It works by looking in /boot for all files which
start with "vmlinuz-". They will be treated as kernels, and grub menu
entries will be created for each. It will also create the initial
menu.lst if none exists, after prompting the user. It will also add
initrd lines for ramdisk images found with the same version as kernels
found.
