[Nottingham] Dual boot failure

[Anil Kiral]

There is another way. You can install the Ext2Fsd (http://ext2fsd.com) ext3/4 file system driver in windows which will allow you to access your Ubuntu partition in windows. I have used it in the past and it worked well for me.
There is also a program called Ext2Read which does a similar thing but I haven't used it myself.

You boot from the live-CD and use the commandline to re-install grub on the partition on which it is presently installed. If you can't find it online, I might have made notes somewhere, but it's easy to find on the Ubuntu forums.
