Just 2 days ago someone reported the same problem in Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550702 He confirmed that something in his Windows overwrites some stuff in the embeding area (i.e. the sectors between MBR and first partition) Please do the same things I told in message #20 there. Check with fdisk -lu at what sector the first partition starts at. Usually this is 63 Save the embeding area when you recovered GRUB 2 to sda.1 with e.g. dd if=/dev/sda of=sda.1 count=63 Then boot Windows and then some LiveCD or your Ubuntu with a rescue disk or something like that. And do it again but this time use of=sda.2 To see the difference you could then e.g. use diff -u <(hd sda.1) <(hd sda.2) GRUB 2's core.img is much bigger then GRUB Legacy's stage1.5. Seems like some Windows thing doestn't use the first part of the embeding area but something in the middle or end of it. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- grub fails after running Windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441941 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
