Hello,

I'm new to this forum, so I'm sorry if I seem completely stupid to you.

I've been using Ubuntu for a couple years, and have really enjoyed the experience. Recently though, I also felt like installing Arch Linux onto my laptop which already had a Vista/Ubuntu 10.04 partition. In doing so, I lost access to the Ubuntu partition on my hard drive. The Arch linux grub had replaced the Ubuntu grub.

So the main question is, does anyone know how I could re-access or re-install the original Ubuntu grub? If not, then can someone help me with adding a boot option in Arch's Grub? I've already tried some things, though obviously, none have worked sofar.

Thanks for any help.

Here's how to reinstall grub from Ubuntu live cd

Boot Ubuntu after reinstalling, and if other OSs aren't detected, run sudo update-grub .
