Thread: Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 Grub Problem


hello everybody! happy can join big ubuntu family!
encounter:
- have laptop win 7 installed first , ubuntu 10.10;
- ok, grub set dual boot , worked;
- few days ago "update-manager" grub update , installed it. since windows 7 wont boot. when select win7 option says me: "_" , return grub choice list.

forgot add did:
- chmod -x 30_os-prober
- chmod -x 40_custom
- create new file 11_win7 , added this:
code:
 menuentry "windows 7" { set root='(hd0,msdos1)' chainloader +1 }

here boot_info_script output:

code:
