(Thanks. Problem Solved) \\:D/

Hi Open Friends.

:popcorn: Get some(Maybe a-lot of...) popcorn before reading further.;)

Bla Bla Bla... :

Hi friends, This is how the story starts... 3 years back
i saw this beautiful, Young Girl(Ubuntu), soo... Hot!
It took a long time to get her on my bed (My system). Now This beauty...
decorated with all availables (Compiz and all Needed softwares)
sitting in my own room... in front of me... alone... With high Emotions & before anything can happen...!!!?
Don't know when this Unexpected disaster came in the middle.
I just kissed her once man (Saw it installing and checked it once to conform every thing ok). please help me.ok Enough Fantasy ;) lets go to the point. strrr..ight.

Can anyone help me with this Problem. am having windows and Ubuntu 8.10 installed on 500GB seagate Barracuda HDD (LC11 Firmware)
in their own partions (Installed windows First and then Ubuntu).
The problem is For some unknown reason This Model of HDD creates
Bad sectors More often. (highly untrust worthy may be only in INDIA).

PROBLEM:

As a result my C: Drive (Windows) Got 66 Bad-sectors :( and I repaired with
Seatool DOS Boot CD, but windows should be reinstalled. Luckily :D My Ubuntu
Drives where Free of Bad sectors and now I want to Boot into it.

I need to know How to get back the Grub Boot loader after/before Installing
windows. so that I can Boot into UBUNTU safely.

Can anyone tell me why my system is shouting Like hell in a peaceful Room.
My Configuration is:

Intel P4 3.0 HT Processor
Intel Original MB D915GAV
1 GB DDR 1 Ram
seagate 500GB HDD :(
Nvidia 7600GT Graphics Card :D

Nvidia 177 Drivers are Installed is this the suspect.

Note: !!! Am a newbie (Nightmare of UBUNTU.)

I will be happy to answer your questions till my net connection is alive.

Thanks in advance.

--------------------------
Without you open guys (Ubuntu Geeks). I would never be able to Install Ubuntu on my system.
