I just formated my windows partition to upgrade from win 7 RC to win 7 ultimate, and as expected it got rid of Grub and so I couldn't boot into Ubuntu 9.10. I followed this guide to fix Grub legacy by using a 9.04 live cd (put into a USB and made bootable), the problem is, after i run the grub-install command as it says to, it still just boots into windows. Even though it says complete and no errors reported, there is a couple lines that show up that mentions something about not being able to edit device.map or something like that.
Edit: This thread can be ignored/closed now. when the guide said replace /dev/sda in the install command with where you want it installed I thought it meant replace it with /dev/sda5, I tried again with just /dev/sda and it worked.
