Putting Grub/Lilo back on the MBR?

Can you put the DvD in & put it back on the MBR or is it not that simple?

Not that simple. Involves a bit of command line work.

OpenSuSE has a great tool in YaST2 totaly GUI & you can save the boot manager where you want from there, maybe next Linux reinstall I will go OpenSuSE again... I Just thought Ubuntu/Mint meant for the easy to use market would have a GUI way to do it...

Well if you actually took the time to actually look for yourself rather than doing your usual pointless posting of a question with only half the information (you moan that you thought that Ubuntu would have a GUI way of doing it ... but you didn't even mention a distribution in your original post ...) ... :rolleyes:

You can do it graphically from the Ubuntu CD's live option ... see here
