Recovering Ubuntu after installing Windows
Hi,
I would be grateful for some help with this:
I share a computer with someone else and have my own hard disc in it in addition to his which is devoted to Windows. I was asked to upgrade his Windows XP installation to 64-bit Windosw7.
I did this and all went well but I lost the ability to access Ubuntu which is on /dev/sdb1,(Windows is on /dev/sda1). I reinstalled GRUB but in a moment of distraction I reinstalled it on /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb
Now when the machine starts I get the boot menu like I did before but if I select Windows there is the following message:
"Error No such device.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to get rid of the error message? Although it does not affect the functioning of the computer, it is causing a bit of irritation to its owner. I had thought of using the Windows install CD to fix Windows and then re-installing GRUB but I wondered if there was another way.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
