I finally got around to upgrading my Acer desktop from XP to Windows 7. Prior to the upgrade I had a working dual boot setup with XP and Ubuntu (Ver 12.04) or thereabouts.
Not surprisingly, the upgrade messed up the dual boot set-up. But nothing I've tried has allowed me to re-establish my ability to boot into Ubuntu. The old Ubutu setup was still using the original Grub (not Grub2). The other thing that may be relevant is that this machine has a recovery partition. One of my attempts to get things configured properly resulted in the Ubuntu menu selection booting into the recovery partition.
I'm missing something somewhere. The notes on this site regarding dual booting Ubuntu are not much help. The frustrating thing is that I did the same sort of upgrade on a different machinea couple of years ago, using an older version of EasyBCD and had no significant problems, as far a I can remember.
So, what's the secret?
