[Bug 441941] Re: grub fails after running Windows

[PhoneixS]

Okay, after many restarts, I've discovered what caused the corruption.

The program that corrupt the grub (in my case) is "PC Angel" a recover
software, more exactly their windows service.

You can disable it by going into Start / Control panel / Administrative
tools / Services, search for a service named "PC Angel" and right click
it, then click Properties, and select the start type to disabled.

For restore the grub, the only thing you need is to boot into ubuntu and
using Synaptic (for example), reinstall grub-pc and grub-common.

I have used the Super Grub Disk (version 2) to launch first into windows
for disable PC Angel and then to go into Ubuntu to reinstall grub. If
you reinstall grub before disable PC Angel, you MUST run windows in safe
mode (F8) for not damage the new grub installation.

I think that PC Angel, can be disabled if you don't need it to do new
backup, because you can initiate the restore if you need, and my grub2
detect the rescue partition.
