hello .. my dual boot (ubuntu 10.10 & win7) has given a grub error that I would like some help solving. on boot the computer now says:
error: unknown filesystem
grub rescue>
I would really like to get both systems up and running ..
I have dug around a few hours and tried some steps i found here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command Line and Rescue Mode) but honestly I am afraid I will lose the win7 if I have not already if I go further. from the grub rescue I have found the grub here:
ls (hd0,msdos7)/boot/grub
which is weird I think as the results from the boot info script (below) seems to indicate it should be on msdos6.. help would be greatly appreciated.

============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in
partition #6 for (,msdos6)/boot/grub.
=> Syslinux is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb
