    grub error 'no such device' when trying to start windows

    I am having trouble getting a dual boot setup on Ubuntu remix on a netbook. The install went fine, but then windows would not book. I had a windows error. So I reinstalled windows, and rebuilt grub. Now when I try to launch windows from the grub menu it says "error: no such device: 0a82ff1982ff0849". How do I go about fixing that? I can boot to Ubuntu fine now. Thanks

    First try running in terminal:
    sudo update-grub

    and see if that sorts it out. The windows partition UUID is not correct because it was reformatted.
    Darko.
