Restore boot manager after installing windows 7 over linux
- Boot from the ubuntu Live CD.
- Open the terminal from applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.
- Then find the partition of your Ubuntu OS from the list generated with the command,
- sudo fdisk -l
- If your ubuntu(linux) partion is sda6,
- sudo mkdir /media/sda6
- sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/sda6
- After that you have to reinstall the GRUB
- sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda5 /dev/sda
- If everything went alright you should be able to reach the GRUB boot menu when you restart the computer. You can find more information from here.
