GRUB. Do I need to reinstall it?

[MikeHunt79]

Ok, I wanted to dual boot an XP and ubuntu on one machine, xp having a 5gb partition, and ubuntu having 150gb.

Unfortunately I done it the wrong way around. So, I deleted the ntfs partition, expanded my ubuntu partition to 150gb, and I'm not restoring the XP files right now.

So, will this thing boot or will I have to install grub again? Is it hard, as ubuntu did it all automatically before...

edit, just rebooted and it's all working perfectly. I guess the bootblock must have been untouched.

It's a piece of urine

Use the live cd for Ubuntu, you can then use grub from there (to install it on the MBR)

The only "tricky" bit is knowing which device numbers you need, if you post which drive/partition has what on it, we'll be able to assist you. (eg. Disk 1, Partition 1 is windows, Disk 2 partition 1 is linux and both are SATA disks)
