Hi,
Actually this belongs to the following thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009707
But as that thread is closed I have started this as a new thread.
Mine is a MSI Laptop and I have the ubuntu karmic coala (9.10) version.
My OSs are kind of gone through a lot and I am starting afresh.......So I am going for ms-sys & lilo to fix my MBR with Ubuntu Live CD option...
Here are the errors I get for ms-sys & lilo
Code:ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ms-sys

E: Couldn't find package ms-sys
