Grub broken
Hi, freedombird9!
Can you please post your procedure to reinstall your grub with EasyBCD? I met similar problem to boot my Ubuntu server (64bit) for my dual system. The other one is Win7 which can boot fine.
The problem with Ubuntu is it always boot into rescue mode and Googled out GRUB is broken. Tried liveCD and boot-repair, but not succeed. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm new to solaris and I have a question about installing solaris 10.
Does solaris during install create a /boot partition?
And if it does, is it possible to set the bootloader on this partition or will it always be on the MBR?
