I had Window XP and Ubuntu 9.04 Aplha, I was happy with my OS installed until I decided to install Window 7 Beta and it messed up my Grub bootloader and now I cannot boot to Ubuntu but the partition is still there. Can someone help me get my bootloader back. I try everything in the internet and whatever I do to get Grub back I get Error 15. Btw Window XP and Window 7 just boots fine with Windows own bootloader. Please don't tell me to reformat Ubuntu. It had memories there that I do not want to lose and all those eye candy that i installed. Thank you.
P.S. I have tried Super Grub disk but to no avail.
