i have 8 partitions on hard drive. far have 5 distros installed each in own partition. bootloader used display distros had installed. after installing pclinuxos, bootloader looks nice, displays pclinux , none of other distros. how can fix distros listed in bootloader menu?

what bootloader pclinuxos use? if it's not grub 2, recommend booting ubuntu os or os uses grub 2 , run following command. return control of boot grub, , find other os's. if bios doesn't boot sda first, change command.

code:

sudo grub-install /dev/sda sudo update-grub

if can't boot other os, boot ubuntu livecd version have installed. mount ubuntu partition , install grub. i'll use sda5 in example. don't use partition number in second command.

code:

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

after reboot ubuntu, run:

code:

sudo update-grub

hopefully find all, or @ least most, of other os's.
