I have followed the instructions at this Lifehacker link to dual-boot Win7 and Ubuntu 10.10:

I've used it to good effect for a while but all the sudden I cant boot into the Ubuntu side (too rigorous of testing i guess). What is the best way to cleanly install 11.04 over the top of the ubuntu partition w/o messing up the MBR or the windows partition? The reason I ask is because I haven't tried this yet and I don't own another HDD that is big enough to ghost the current one I'm using anymore.
