With previous versions of antiX (mostly 8.5), I got pretty good using the grub repair tool. :/
With Jayaben, I'm perplexed since it is different. There seems to be more options than this limited brain can handle. __{{emoticon}}__

For my desktop, I usually multi-boot and one of my distros is usually grub2, I used my antiX liveCD to get legacy grub back, and then edit my menu.lst the way I like it. I haven't really tried to learned how to edit grub2 yet. I know my days are numbered and need to get with the program. But until then...any instructions for the tool in antiX 11.
I think I'm doing it right, but my grub doesn't change at reboot. antiX 11 resides on sda5 for / and /home is on sda6.
My other distro is on sda7 for root and sda8 for home. Would I configure the tool like this:

I would use the liveCD? Correct?

TIA,
Dave

Looks ok to me since you say AntiX / is on /dev/sda5 which is where /boot/grub/menu.lst should reside.
