How to boot to Linux Ubuntu after installing Windows 7/Seven
Hi. I had Ubuntu installed in one partition, with XP on another. GRUB bootloader chose between the two.
Then I had Windows 7 replacing Windows XP.
But Windows 7 overrided the GRUB boot menu, and so goes straight to Windows 7.
How do I restore the boot menu to load?
I found this article, but it doesn't help me much...

I can't find Bootloader Configuration Options, as the article says to go into, and thus I can't create a new boot loader. I am using the Ubuntu 9.04 distribution CD.
Also, how do I add Windows 7 to the GRUB menu afterwards?
Thank you.

Perfect... I was able to boot to Win 7 thru the old menu (which showed Win XP and Ubuntu).

Tobias' post reference was more specific and cautious to a critical error, hence why 100 points more.
