ubuntu : remove grub mbr

last week i have to format my desktop which is windows XP, ubuntu dual boot to reinstall xp i put windows xp disk in drive and what i see, after booting blank screen nothing happen,i tried 2-3 times but same problem,
windows disk is working in other computers.Later i realized that grub is problem,i have searched internet the solution and finally i got a solution that  doesn't need to full format or erase entire disk you need to remove master boot record (grub) and windows cd will work absolutely fine.
boot in ubuntu or ubuntu live cd.
and use dd command

sudo dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1


dd command is used to backup one drive to other 
raw copy low level copy etc


detailed description:


sudo : to  run command as super user in ubuntu

dd : dd command

if=/dev/null   source to be copied  which is null


of=/dev/sda   destination /dev/sda is your hard disk ;sda for sata disk

bs : size of 512 bytes is to be written (MBR is first 512 bytes of hard disk which contains boot record,partiton table etc) 


This command is saying that copy 512 bytes of null to first hdd or simply erase MBR.




reboot and boot from xp cd it will work fine.

Ubuntu cant login after keyboard layout changed! problem solved using autologin gdm.conf

Some days ago i am reading blogs from the bloggers of bhilai,one of my favourite blog is "aarambh" by mr sanjeev tiwari.I decided to write a post to make Ubuntu linux a complete hindi desktop,i changed language from English to Hindi and keyboard layout to bolnagri(hindi) (this is the mistake).After reboot i cant login because user name and password are in English and i cant type is english.
I tried many things,changed xorg.conf file,reconfigure xserver etc but nothing happen finally i got an idea that if i can login automatically into system (gdm ) then i can change setting back to English layout.
following are the step by step procedure to autologin ubuntu using gdm.conf

Step 1.boot the system,you can see login screen,
Step 2.Switch to console using Ctrl+ALT+F1.
Step 3.login using your username and password(you can login with username
and password in console).
Step 4.Run the following command to edit gdm.conf file.

sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

find the line

autologin=false

edit this with following:
# Automatic login, if true the first attached screen will automatically logged
# in as user as set with AutomaticLogin key.
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=mahendra

mahendra is username of my system.

Step 5.save the file and restart gdm.

to stop the gdm

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

to start the gdm

sudo gdm

done! now you can login into system and change the keyboard layout.

if you cant then restart your system next time you are automatically logged in.

if you face any problem comment me!
