11.04 installed on free space I had setup but it didn't install Grub2 for a dual boot (with Windows 7 Pro). It may have gotten confused with my disk setup.

Drives and their groupings (Windows lingo):
- Windows 7 Pro on C-drive (appears to be sdb2), it is a SSD
- The free space was setup on this SSD and Ubuntu is located on sdb5 (Linux) and sdb6 (swap space).
- Applications stored on D-drive (RAID0 with 2 small SSDs using RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology).
- data on a RAID card using HDs in RAID0.
Small wonder it got confused, if that is the problem.

I have a LiveCD I can use to boot, is that the best? What are the commands to install. Is there a better way?

Many thanks for assistance!!

I could mark the thread as "solved" but it is better if you do it.... :)
