Grub ONLY show Archbang. Bodhi,Solus is gone. update-grub don't work??
hi. i made a mistake of thinking it would be easier. lol. i am newer to linux and only been using debian and ubuntu builds. i installed this figuring the grub bootloader would show my other systems. well it doesn't and I am so lost on how to fix it. the update-grub command worked excellent in debian/ubuntu builds but now i am totally lost on what to do. I am not code aware of what to type. please someone help walk me through this. i would like to keep it to learn more but need to boot my other two os's.
thanks to any and all help

Boot into ArchBang and then mount the boot/root partitions of your other distros.
You will then have to look in /boot/grub on mounted partitions for either menu.lst or grub.cfg. [no idea what grub Bodhi or Solus uses]
Or search the web for guides on how to restore your grub ....
Or even http://www.supergrubdisk.org/

you have to edit menu.lst manually, for details look at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB_Legacy
(you can list the partitions in Archbang by running sudo fdisk -l in a terminal window)

Search the Installation forum with 'grub' and you will find millions of examples.

Yet another option is to recover the boot loader from one of your debian/ubuntu builds and then run your update-grub for that install. It will then add the ArchBang installation to that version of grub.
