restore grub-seperate partion?

[Linda Vest Castanos]

I like that smart policy, you would think if the grub ever goes, you
still would have a different set commands to fix the problem.  I wish it
could be install on a DEDICATED PARTITION (Linux or Windows).  I don't
have a problem with restoring a partition (Acronis). Next time it
happens, I will try Derek way first.  I do like simple. The only thing I
use Windows for is backup and my scanner. I wish I was a Ubuntu Guru but
I'm not.
