    Is it possible to manually add linux to windows 7 mbr?


    I recently installed ubuntu as a duel boot between my win 7 installation, and I then reset the MBR, as I prefer the windows mbr.

    Now, I cant boot into linux, so my question is:

    Is it possible to add ubuntu to the windows mbr manually, and if so, how?

    Thanks in advance, Liam :)

    This should help you use EasyBCD for what you need: Dual boot Ubuntu-Win7
