I had Karmic installed on my entire harddrive, then I freed up some space and installed windows 7 on half of it. I messed around with the live cd to fix grub2 so it would recognize both Karmic and Windows 7, but now Grub2 boots straight into Karmic without giving me any options.
I tried using this (http://techblog.ribouxj.org/2009/10/17/restore-windows-boot-option-in-grub-2-menu-after-installing-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/) guide, but I could not save the changes made to grub.cfg.
(I really don't know what I'm doing)
anyway, here's some output:
