@Colin : Sorry for my mistake. This one is the good one! I tried to recover/re-install GRUB by using chroot instead of simple recover but I didn't receive any special message. ** Attachment added: maverick.tar.bz2

@bean: So after I followed your last advice (which you mailed me personally) and after the full re-install of GRUB using 'ppa:bean123ch/burg' packages and then on the HDD in the way you explained aforesaid ('grub- install --alt /dev/sda'), let me tell you the good news that on my HP NX9420

So many new features are being implemented in GRUB 2, and there is not a basic 'uninstall' option... You can use dd to copy the first 63 sectors of disk to a file before installing grub, and copy it back if you want to restore. -- grub fails after running Windows

@Xtigyro I take a closer look at the previous steps, I think the one that breaks is the very first grub-install, while the active flag is in ext3 partition. After that, no matter what you do, the result would be the same. Windows keeps a mapping of partition and drive letter in the registry. When

1. Click Start 2. Click Run 3. Type CMD and hit ENTER 4. From this dos box command line: FDISK /MBR Will this method work? (: This used to be the way to restore mbr, but I don't think it works any more (at least not in my windows). But you can use the restore console from windows

@Xtigyro: perhaps the windows disk signature has been changed, you could try the following steps: 1, Use windows installation disk to fix mbr, this would allow you to boot into windows 2, add grub4dos to boot.ini, use it to boot into ubuntu. 3, In ubuntu, use grub-install with --safe option to

There is no way to uninstall GRUB under Linux?? No, grub doesn't store the original mbr. BTW, you can try the latest package 1.98+burg.20100114-1~ppa6. I made some adjustment, and now --safe option is called --alt, so you can use this command to install to mbr: grub-install --alt /dev/sda --
