Solve : terminal command for grub bootloader?

Answer»

I run ubuntu 10.10 and I NEED to back up the GRUB bootloader to obtain the menu LIST. I wish to RESIZE my hard drive so as to enable me to install windows xp side by side.   I have tried the command for version 9.04 but this just gives me a blank screen. any help out there ?cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_backupYou do realize that you will have to reinstall GRUB from the Ubuntu live CD. Right?

Also, if you're running Maverick Meerkat you should have GRUB2 which doesn't have a menu.lst, it has grub.cfg

Why do you want to make a backup of it anyway? You know it will change when you install a new OS right?

Check out the GRUB2 guide here:
