[ubuntu] grub gone

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I think I seriously screwed up. I reinstalled windows, because AMD drivers messed up my registry beyond repair. When I restarted the computer after the Windows configuration was finished, I freaked out, grub is completely gone and Windows boots itself automatically. What did I do? I know that the Ubuntu partitions were untouched, so the OS must be fine, right? I really hope I didn't seriously screw something up :( Thanks for any help. :/ (Hardware)

Installing windows ruined grub 21 weeks 14 hours ago

Recently I restored windows to default using the acer restore partition and when I restarted, as to be expected, it bypassed grub and went straight into windows. Now when I try and restore grub it still boots into windows. The boot repair tool says that it is fixed, but I beg to differ and it gives this report. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1456742/

Hi everyone, hope someone can help me...

I'm using a dual-boot setup and had to reinstall WinXP. As expected, this messed up GRUB (XP overrides it?), so I booted my Ubuntu Live CD, installed and ran boot-repair with the "recommended repair" option. I think it reinstalled GRUB for me, not sure.

Hello and thanks for reading,

I really need help now, as I have a project for work stuck on an inaccessible Wubi Ubuntu install.

I currently have (had) Wubi installed alongside Windows 7 on my laptop.

I was finished using Ubuntu so I restarted back into Windows and went to do something while it restarted.
