[sahilshah1987]

I had Windows 7 and ubuntu dual boot earlier.i had to reinstall Windows 7 due to some issues but now I cant boot into Ubuntu. I just see windows 7 bootloader. The Grub loader is gone.

How do I bring back the Grub and dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu?

This is the best document that you can follow to restore your GRUB. Everything is mentioned step by step. Take a look : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

Thanks krishnandu and Dark Star .

I got it working followed these steps:

1. Boot into Live CD.

2. Open terminal and type sudo mkdir /media/sda9 (sda9 is where my Ubuntu is installed)

3. Then sudo mount /dev/sda9 /media/sda9

4. sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda9 /dev/sda9

Reboot and Grub is back

Or you can use EasyBCD to add the linux entry into the windows bootloader itself.
it is fairly easy.
