Loaded Ubuntu 9.10 as second OS. Win 7 is primary. Grub just keeps looping back to the Ubuntu choice---so I can't get Win7 to boot---please help.
Here is the results of running the slick program mentioned in other threads.
Sorry I don't know where to place the markers as I am a noobie noobie. Thanks
