linux doesn't show up

james341:
good day to you
i have installed triple boot (vista osx86 and linux)
in Chameleon i see only vista and osx86 but no linux
i found something in other forum :

"1. Boot from a Live CD, like Ubuntu Live, Knoppix, Mepis, or similar.
2. Open a Terminal. Go SuperUser (that is, type "su"). Enter root passwords as necessary.
3. Type "grub" which makes a GRUB prompt appear.
4. Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0)" or in my case "(hd0,3)". Use whatever your computer spits out for the following lines.
5. Type "root (hd0,3)".
6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)".
7. Type "quit".
8. Restart the system. Remove the bootable CD."

but i can't do su because i don't know the password so i did sudo grub
but when i trying to do "find /boot/grub/stage1" I'm getting error 15 : file not found

what can i do to had linux to chameleon?

james341:
i know that my linux partition is 2 so i did:
root (hd0,2)
and than:
setup (hd0,2)
but than i get - error 17: cannot mount selected partition

BladeRunner:
Don't forget, grub numbers from zero (0) - so, to point to the second partition on disk one you would enter (hd0,1)

james341:
this is what i get :


is there something i do wrong
i tried "su" but i don't know the password

james341:
someone?
