I have supplied a second hand PC to a friend, dual booting XP and Ubuntu 10.10 from one HD. Somehow, he's made a mess of his XP and I need to do either a repair-over-the-top install or a full XP wipe and reload. Since it is the XP registry file that is corrupted, I suspect that I would need to do a full W&R.
If I do the above, it would (I think) replace the GRUB boot/MBR with XP's loader. My question is, could I then boot off a live CD and "sudo grub update" to reinstall and rebuild GRUB as easy as that?? Or is it more involved? It's a big enough pain that XP is borked. Advice appreciated.
