I'm no Linux expert but I do have a nice installation of Ubuntu that I use from time to time.

In runs on a seperate disk drive and it took me ages to get right - as I said I'm no expert so I had to Google every change\fix I wanted to do and in the most part applied them without real understanding.

It boots from GRUB on my main Windows disk.

The challenge for me is that I have a hardware and operating system change to do and therefore the main disk will be reformatted and the GRUB installation lost.

Once I have installed Windows 7 I won't be able to boot Ubuntu with my limited knowledge.

Before I start is there any way that I can create a Boot CD or USB Disk - I don't have a floppy.

Someone suggested SuperGrub which I have downloaded and burnt to a bootable ISO but I must confess that I don't have a clue what I'm meant to do with it so I'm not sure that is really the answer.

Appreciate some help and suggestions.

Cheers,

Nigel
 
In the /boot/grub/menu.lst file you will find references to all the current OS's installed you might want to copy the entry to do with booting linux.
