Hi all,
I have a Dell Vostro 1320, dual booting Windows 7 (on hd0,0) and Ubuntu 9.04 (on hd 0,1). Both partitions are running the OSes perfectly.
However, sometimes when I boot Windows and shut down, then turn the computer back on the next day, the computer begins to boot getting as far was "Grub stage 1.5.." then it reboots. It will continue this cycle endlessly until I put in the Super GRUB disk to automatically restore GRUB on my Linux partition. I'm not exactly sure what causes this issue, so I'm not sure what code yo would need, if any, nor am I too familiar with dual boot setups.
Any light on the issue would be appreciated. I'll update this post soon with the grub menu.lst file.
Thanks!
