Hi All
I've installed Ubuntu as a dual boot on my Samsung NC10 Netbook and apart from a few glitches so far so good - all hardware got recognised immediately without any downloads or tinkering. Amazing !
Although I don't need to do this yet, I would like to know how I can restore the MBR that the Grub bootloader has overwritten, if necessary - the Samsung's re-load routine would do it but its a scorched earth policy - everything is wiped. In the past I would just use FDISK /MBR and I could do that with an XP version run from a flash drive using the recovery console but that would not be the Samsung's specific version. But it would do.
Any other ideas?
