[ubuntu-in] Issue with GRUB and MBR

[Mallikarjun(ಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನ್)]

Dont install grub, here are the few steps to recover, if you have not
re-written MRB

1. boot into livecd (any, prefer ubuntu )
2. open terminal
3. type in these commands
    sudo grub
    find /boot/grub/stage1
        *output   (hdx,y)*
    root (hdx,y)
    setup (hdx)
4. Reboot


After booting to ubuntu modify file /boot/grub/menu.lst by adding following
content

title        Windows XP
rootnoverify    (hdx,y)
savedefault
chainloader    +1

# replace (hdx,y) ---> x -->Harddisk number
                                    y -->Partition number
