My machine is an hp 2133 mininote. It came factory installed with Windows vista, which repeadtedly crashed on me. To compenstate for this i installed gOS to dual boot with Vista. This was working fine but I was recently given a Windows 7 install disk, so i decided to upgrade. Windows seven installed without a problem but now i can't access the GRUB bootloader, windows 7 just loads automatically. I tried to restore it using the Super GRUB Disk usb utility but it didn't work, windows 7 still boots regardless. Any advice? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if you messed up something using Super Grub. You shouldn't have tried using it, you can restore with ubuntu cd. Here are instructions for various bootloaders:
