How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a Lenovo Thinkpad from a bootable USB device. The automatic installation of Grub failed so I followed the instructions for manually installing Grub which works without errors. Now Grub doesn't load after restarting the laptop; there is only a menu where I can choose from which device I want to boot but there it stucks. At the moment I don't know if Grub is correctly installed or if the error is somewhere else.

  • Does it boot Windows? – user68186 Dec 23 '12 at 17:48
  • I did not install Windows. Previously I had installed Debian which worked without this error. – jochen Dec 23 '12 at 18:12

    @jochen The answers detailed here almost always fix this problem, even when there is no Windows or other OS installed alongside Ubuntu. Sometimes the Ubuntu installer fails to provide a working GRUB boot loader installation, and reinstalling GRUB to the master boot record (as detailed in those answers) usually fixes this. – Eliah Kagan Dec 23 '12 at 19:11
