You can boot from a 13.04 disk or USB stick, start a terminal, and install GRUB manually. But if you're unfamiliar with the command line might be easier to re-install 13.04 from scratch, which should recognize your Windows partition. Or, if this is on a portable computer, bring it to Ubuntu Hour Kitchener on Friday, and we do some collaborative troubleshooting. By the way, it's useful to the folks on the list if you describe the problem in the subject line of the message. "Help" might mean that Timmy's stuck in the well again, and nobody wants to deal with that. --Bob. On 13-07-02 11:21 AM, David M.
