Restoring the GRUB bootloader missing on Ubuntu Linux

There are two ways that we can do to restore missing GRUB,

HOW FIRST
  1. First we must prepare for the Ubuntu Live CD, if the guns could have also used the bootloader from flash disk
  2. Then change the setting in the BIOS, CD or flash disks in the first place (first boot option)
  3. If your PC is set to boot to the CD-ROM, you can wait until the Ubuntu boot options screen appears just select Try Ubuntu (without any change on your computer)
  4. Once inside run the Live CD Desktop Terminal by clicking on the Applications menu> Accessories> Terminal
  5. Check our Linux partitions using the command
  6. sudo fdisk-l
  7. Now we know the Linux root partition ( eg a Linux partition on my laptop is sda7 ), then do the mounting as the following ( see Figure-2 )
  8. sudo mount-t ext4 / dev/sda7 / mnt /
    sudo mount-t proc proc / mnt / proc /
    sudo mount-t sysfs sys / mnt / sys /
    sudo mount-o bind / dev / / mnt / dev /
    sudo chroot / mnt / bin / bash
  9. Now we're going to restore GRUB to the MBR, the command
  10. grub-install / dev / sda
  11. now we'll return into the Linux root partition ( in this case the location of my laptop Linux partition is / dev/sda7 ), the command
  12. grub-install / dev/sda7
  13. If no error message then after you do a reboot, the bootloader will be back to normal.

Wordpress 3.0 jQuery

This easy-to-use guide will walk you through the ins and outs of creating sophisticated professional enhancements and features, specially tailored to take advantage of the WordPress personal publishing platform. It will walk you through clear, step-by-step instructions to build several custom jQuery solutions for various types of hypothetical clients and also show you how to create a jQuery and Wordpress plugin.

What this book covers
Chapter 1, Getting Started: WordPress and jQuery...This chapter introduces the reader to the core fundamentals that they need to be familiar with in order to get the most out of the book. HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript syntax, and how to recognize the various parts of those syntaxes are covered, as well as a list of "tools of the trade" which covers what features their code editor, browser, and even image editor should have. The chapter also illustrates exactly how CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery work in the browser with the HTML served up from the WordPress site.

Chapter 2, Working with jQuery in WordPress...This chapter goes into the details of how to start working with jQuery specifically within WordPress. It covers how to properly include jQuery using the Script API and focuses on jQuery's selectors (very important for working in WordPress) as well as jQuery's top functions.

Chapter 3, Digging Deeper: Understanding jQuery and WordPress Together...This chapter takes the reader to a deeper level and introduces them to all the ways that jQuery can be applied to a WordPress site: Through a custom script in the WordPress theme, as a jQuery plugin called in through the theme, and lastly, as a custom jQuery script or plugin applied to a WordPress plugin! The ways to affect a WordPress site with jQuery are numerous, and the pros and cons of each method is considered so that the reader can assess their own projects accurately. The chapter also introduces the reader to their first "hypothetical client" and covers how to create their own jQuery plugin and then wrap that jQuery plugin into a WordPress plugin so that a site administrator could easily implement the enhancement without having to know how to edit the theme.
