I had 12.04 with my dual boot system. Yesterday I downloaded Ubuntu 12.10 make bootable USB and choose Upgrade option in Installer. After installation Grub failed to boot my machine. I tried following to fix grub bootloder . Same problem I fixed with Ubuntu 12.04 using live USB but this solution not work for Ubuntu 12.10. Now coming at exactly where this solution goes fail.



I followed this steps after booting Live USB and opening terminal.



1) sudo fdisk -l to see where Linux is installed



2) sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt where sda9 is my linux partition



3) sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt/boot



4) sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev



5) sudo chroot /mnt (No problems with this steps done perfectly)



6) grub-install /dev/sda when I type command I got error that



source_dir doesn't exist Please specify --target or --directory


How can I solve this?
