Win 7 lost from bootloader?
Hey guys, question for y'all:
I was running Windows 7 64-bit with a dual-boot configuration with Ubuntu 10.04. When I wanted to get into Windows I'd just select it from the GRUB menu upon booting up. Everything was working fine until (for a reason I still can't figure) Windows was dropped from the bootup menu. The partition Windows is on is still mountable and browsable from Ubuntu, so I am assuming it is not a hardware problem. I booted from the install DVD in the hopes of repairing Windows, but without a bootloader present, the disc doesn't know that Windows is there, and gives me a "StartupRepairOffline" error when I try to run its repair function. Is there any way to repair the bootloader without a full reinstallation? As far as I know the Windows files themselves are fine and workable.
Thanks!
