I had a successful Windows 7/Lucid Lynx dual boot, was working wonderfully – that is until I logged ina worked in Windows for while. Nw am unable to login on Lucid. Can get to login window but is asking for password etc, in spite of fact I set it to login automatically, and when I enter the password it doeesn’t work? How do I fix this?

didnt work for me exactly, after executing those commands, reboot (if windows is not booting) log in into your hard drives linux installation and type:

sudo update-grub

As described at:

Thank you so much. I don’t know why it took me SOOOO long to find this page, but I’m glad I did. SST2P. Solved my issue with no real problem. system was a little herky-jerky upon reboot after following instructions, but rebooting once more after Ubuntu 9.10 loaded initially solved the problem.

hi. i just followd these steps and got my GRUB loader back fine and dandy. however it doesnt pick up the windows xp i just installed that made me loose the grub in the first place….

im a little baffled and have only been using ubuntu for a few weeks. sorry if its a foolish question.

If you had a /boot partition, make a directory in /mount after you boot using a live cd, then mount the /boot partition of your installation there. Then use the same commands above. Thanks for the post. This helped me out of the dog house.

Thank you so much for this! I just upgraded XP Home > 7 Home Premium on my Aspire One D250 and freaked out when suddenly I was no longer able to choose whether I wanted to boot into UNR or Windows.

All’s good now, though. :D
