S uper Grub Disk is very useful as we know, is one of those tools that should always have on hand because sooner or later, it happens to have to use, thus avoiding the procedure manual. E 'available as an ISO image, floppy and USB. It can be very convenient to keep it in a USB stick for several reasons, primarily for convenience, since it has different CDs, each of us possesses in great numbers, and keeps them infognati everywhere, to the max of USB it has 2, 3, 4, so I'm always easy to find. Another good reason is the fact that SGD installing on a USB stick, it can be used to store the same data, simply do not touch the single folder called boot, which incidentally is 1MB. You can download it from this page in Italian. Installation is simple, and you run into a few steps. Super_grub_disk_italiano_usb_0.9673.tar.bz2 Once downloaded, unzip it, and the boot folder, copy it to the pen: cp-r boot / media / disk
where drive is the nosta pen. Disassemble the pen, and make sure that this happened for real, otherwise it does not work.
umount / dev/sdg1 in my case
As root, type grub
Now let's see how grub identifies our pen. Help out with the tab key. grub> geometry (hd
grub> geometry (hd Possible disks are: hd0 hd1 hd2
grub> geometry (hd2)
drive 0 × 82: C / H / S = 31/255/63, The number of sectors = 501,759, / dev / sdg Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0 × 6
Then you notice that the device is hd2 and is identified as / dev / sdg. Then: device (hd2) / dev / sdg root (hd2, 0) setup (hd2) quit exit sync
Reboot and make sure that your PC is set to boot from USB.

A few days ago I "met" adrian15, the father of SGD, and asked me if I was interested in the Italian translation of SGD. I of course I accepted, and I immediately set to work, always happy to contribute to the cause of the Penguins. I have to say that translating a program is not how to translate a simple sentence, also because there are terms that mean something in English and in Italian mean very little. If we go to watch how others have implemented the program in their own language, then one is not really in charge:) Anyway, I gave my best and I translated SGD, I sent all at adrian15, and waiting for news on when to insert the translation , or other developments. For those in need of SGD in Italian I immediately made available to the newly edited by me, downloadable from here. Once downloaded unpack it tar-xvf public_sgd_source_code_0.9654.tar.gz
enter the folder you created cd / home/UTENTE/Desktop/public_sgd_source_code_0.9654
and now we are ready to prepare an ISO . / make_sgd.sh cdromiso / home / user / mysgdiso.iso
clearly replace username with your own. At this point you can burn, and you will SGD in Italian. Updated 26/10 Download Sgd in Italian directly from the official website, as an ISO image, floppy, USB.

W hen you configure a computer to dual boot between Linux and Windows, we must remember that Windows is installed first, because, while Linux from what democratic system recognizes the presence of another OS, but it beats Windows and overwrites the 'MBR, making it impossible to choose dell'alltro os. If this happens, everything can be solved using a live CD. Once booted from the live CD, we mount the partition on which you installed Linux. If you do not know what it is, use: fdisk-l
then montiamola with mount-t ext3 / dev/hda1 / mnt
clearly replace hda1 with its corresponding partition. If you had a separate partition for / boot, you must also install the mkdir / mnt / boot mount-t ext3 / dev/hda2 / mnt / boot
even the file system mount / dev and proc mount-bind / dev / / mnt / dev mount-t proc proc / mnt / proc
now we chrooted chroot / mnt
then we go into Grub and we give the following commands grub root (hd0, 1) setup (hd0) quit
where hd0, 1 and hd0 refers to the first partition of first disk. To avoid this procedure may make up the 'MBR, follow these steps. Another very useful tool, is to use Super Grub Disk, and as a downloadable floppy image, both as cd-rom.
