    Hello,

    first I had two systems runnig, XP and Ubuntu, controlled by Grub. Then I installed Win7, each of them on a separate partition. And of course, Win 7 installed its own bootmanager. That's when EasyBCD comes into play. But it could only handle the two Windows Systems. So at least I found this register where to add Linux, I don't know the exact name, something with Grub, not Grub 2, the other one. I added this - and that's why I'm here. Everything killed. I finally managed to boot Ubuntu, but couldn't repair the two WinSystems. ???

    Regards

    To get back W7's bootloader, follow these instructions:
    Vista/W7 Bootloader Recovery from DVD

    Get the latest build of EasyBCD available here. Add a new Linux grub entry and XP entry from the Add New Entry page.

    That's right, thank you - I already found that out by myself. But as I have these three systems on my pc, I should be able to boot them. There's an entry about Linux in EasyBCD - which I tried to use - with the results I told you above. Is there possibly a better way to do it? I also tried to reinstall grub with sgd, but receives the error message 15 ( file not found) whatever this means. ???
