Since u got (hd1,5) -> (hdX,Y) after the "find" command, you are supposed to try as follows, grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1,5) grub> root (hd1,5) ........ grub> setup (hd1) .......... grub> quit ........... Assuming, everything went fine above THE most important part is to update the grub sudo grub-install /dev/sd** > replace the sd** with your active boot partition, which normally is /dev/sda1 ( if you haven't changed it before ) , in other words it's the partition from which the computer boots up. ( Hint: use "fdisk -l" to see your partition information. Hmm.. Glaedr ! It’s been a while since i’ve published this, but i’m going to try my best to help.

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

grub> root (hd1,5)

I'm glad that the tutorial worked for you too. <br/> As you asked I'm now confused if GfxBoot and GfxMenu are same projects, but they must be somewhat related. More info here http://grub.gibibit.com/Journal <br/> - The theme file I've provided is very minimial. You can still change the background image. Try overwriting the file with your image in GIMP. <br/> - Of course, you can find more theme files. Try searching for gfxboot theme file. I'd found some nice ones. All of them won't work though ! You can then try modifying the theme file to your wish. My pleasure, Carlos ! I’m glad that the tutorial worked for you too.

It's imilar to GfxBoot, but it's another application, isn't it? - I tried to modify your theme, but it doesn't give as many options as I need to adapt my old crystal theme for gfxBoot. Thanks for tha tutorial,

Neverttheless I have a few questions:

- I went to http://grub.gibibit.com/, but it seems another project. It’s imilar to GfxBoot, but it’s another application, isn’t it?

- I tried to modify your theme, but it doesn’t give as many options as I need to adapt my old crystal theme for gfxBoot.
