[SOLVED] Reaccessing Ubuntu after installing windows

[kaustubh.bansal]

Hello

I had windows xp and ubuntu 8.04 both installed on my laptop. Due to some unfixable virus problem, i had to reinstall windows. After that i find that i cannot access ubuntu. When i switch on the laptop, windows boots up automatically, there's no option to boot ubuntu.
Both the operating systems are installed on separate drives, and I can access the file system of the ubuntu installation using the live cd. Is there any way around other than reinstallling ubuntu too?

yes, it can be fixed by reinstalling grub :)
