It is possible that this happened by the fault of myself. While I first installed grub2 on this lucid alpha-mashine the upgrade-manager asked me on what disks and partitions the boot-manager is going to be installed. So I guess that I selected all ones and by that overrote the MBRs of the two partitions. I dont have the disks left to boot them in recovery console and fixmbr, so i cannot check it and eventually get them back. Do you know any workarounds for that? Drives, partitions and data are still healthy and accessible.
Why whould grub2 upgrade gives you the possibility to screw your "ms windows" so easily? I dont see a need in explicitly allow it installing on ms-partitions. The maximum allowed compliance should be limited to install it on just the drive. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => criticalmess (criticalmess) ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Assignee: criticalmess (criticalmess) => (unassigned) -- Booting WindowsXp/Xp-X64 out of Grub2 just echos "GRUB _" blinking cursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518330 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
