Nope I did not boot into the Win NT /XP section - which as you are right was the recovery section. You booted with the label "Win Xp Home" (the > recovery section) and it tried to recover your laptop > to factory default settings and rewrote the MBR. > Apparently it seems like the rewriting didn't go very > well as it should have just booted into Windows > without giving you any prompt for Grub.

I have reinstalled but am not sure this is stable after reinstall i tried the first option and it went into to recovery mode - and since i did not have the recovery cd's it got stuck (froze) so was forced to poweroff , I rebooted after that a couple of times and things seem ok now. Wonder if there is a need to poweroff after the first install boot. ??
