I just installed Windows7 and afterwards Ubuntu11.04 so I wont have trouble with grub, but grub doesn't even load after installation finished.
I now tried to restore grub using http://opensource-sidh.blogspot.com/2011/06/recover-grub-live-ubuntu-cd.html (http://[URL=%22http://[URL%22) but already typeing in "sudo fdisk -l" resorts in a very different output, as only sdb1 is there even though there should be at least 6 sdb considering Gparted output.
I am quite lost here as this parallel installation always worked for me this way. I am using a ThinkPad x121e, could this have something to do with it? (http://opensource-sidh.blogspot.com/2011/06/recover-grub-live-ubuntu-cd.html)
This is the output of fdisk
