Anyway I then decided I would first attempt Ubuntu working and then Vista.

So I booted using Ubuntu 7.10 CD and typed the following from a shell prompt:

• sudo -s
• ls - l /dev/sd* (to try and find my partitions)
• mkdir /a
• mount /a /dev/sda6 (I had to try a few until I got the right one)
• grub-install --root-directory=/a /dev/sda (note the drive here, not the partition)

I then rebooted and my Ubuntu was all back to normal. At least I had a working machine now. My Vista appeared on the grub menu and selected it but the machine just locked.

Back into Ubuntu and looking around I read this support page from EasyBCD. So I downloaded the Vista recovery DVD by going to this page.

Ran that, selected install, and then repair and Vista worked fine. What's more it didn't blow away Grub which really surprised me.

So now have a fully functioning system again. What a relief.

onda sam nadošao na workaround:

1. sa EasyBCD programom dodao ubuntu boot stavku
2. podesio da je timeout 7 sec
3. podesio da je default boot stavka ubuntu

takođe u grub-u podesio timeout na 7 sec

sistem uvijek prvo uđe u vista bootloader i tu ide na ubuntu nakon 7 sec ako ne odaberemo windows
kada uđemo u grub procedura je standardna, kao što je i ranije bilo:

• odabiremo jedan od linux-a ili idemo na solaris grub

ovo je ipak workaround, zato što ako u grub-u odaberemo da je vista default stavka, on će se vrtiti ukrug dok ne odaberemo nešto ručno ... ali meni to konkretno nije neki problem, s obzirom da mi je linux uobičajeno default boot stavka
