    I have a laptop that stores a recovery system in a partition. When I 
loaded Ubuntu Grub shows Ubuntu, windows, and the recovery software. I 
clicked on the recovery and it started. So grub did save my recovery.

    Suggest you come up in the LiveCD and look at your hard drive(s) 
with the partitioner and see if yours is like mine.
