    Did you get hit with this http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475385 If you did can you please add your comments to the bug in launchpad, filed by kansasnoob.

    As in that thread, grub has been installed in all the major partitions. Hopefully you can restore win7's boot partition by following

    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...ms:Boot_Sector

    Otherwise you will need to boot off the win7 dvd and fixboot.

    +1! If you follow this carefully:

    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...ms:Boot_Sector

    That should fix it.

    YEESSSS !!

    That work, follow the instructions carefully, and everything work well.

    What I did last was boot off the win7 dvd, go to command prompt and run the command Bootrec /fixboot and finally I can use Ubuntu and Windows.

    Thank you very much.
