Dual-boot grub2

Asked by Tom

Hi :)

The advice in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Recovering%20GRUB%20after%20reinstalling%20Windows

does not seem to work with Grub2. Is there a good guide on how to fix the MBR for Grub2?

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)

Maxim, I thought you deserved the karma points for that because you got an answer to me so fast but i think that's for grub1.

This guide for grub2
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
is what fixed the problem. A full re-install of the entire grub is probably more than i really needed but it ensured the whole problem got fixed. Hopefully i will be able to add the link to the dual-boot page soon :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
