Recovery of grub in ubuntu

[Sauro Cesaretti]

Thanks in advance,
I have a boot cd...
It's the live cd to install and try ubuntu 7.04.
After that I started this cd, how can I enter in my installed system?
Thanks,
Best regards, Sauro

You need to boot from a live CD or some other source that will give you
access to your 7.04 system.

Once you can do that, you will need to re-install grub.  Windows (in its
usual
fashion) has taken over the MBR (master boot record) and you need to
reinstall grub there.

I can probably help you once you have a boot situation as above....   but 
perhaps someone else has an easier method.
