Ubuntu
grub2 package

lost linux boot option

Asked by anthony edwards

NJ65 Packard Bell laptop.
This came with vista. I loaded (with your help) Ubuntu 10.2.4. (It works really well and is everything I could ask for), BUT.
I then loaded windows 7 ( on another partition) and since I have lost boot access to the linux partition so am unable to access it.
(I know you must get asked this very often) but can you help?
I can still access Vista and 7 ok but its the linux I use most often.

Thanks in advance.
 Tony
