Hi

I have a multiple operating system AMD computer with
1)Vista, 2) Ubuntu 9.04 and 3) gentoo.

The GRUB program of Ubuntu using the menu.lst file was able to launch all operating systems, including different versions of the gentoo and ubuntu kernels, without any problem.

Unfortunately, the Vista system was currupted for unknown reasons, and I had to reinstall Vista from the recovery partition

Vista is now the only operating system I can use, because the MBR used by GRUB is overruled by Vista

I like to avoid to reinstall Ubuntu and Gentoo. What is the best method to ensure that Ubuntu/Grub takes control again??

thanks
