here go to supergrubdisk.org and download the CD version when you do shut off your computer and turn it on withn the disk in the drive when it comes on choose help with restoring mbr the one with indication for windows. The one with sad faces for the guy who made it is a linux lover. You could if you want restore grub but I have never done just restored the window's MBR and and re install ubuntu.


summery
download CDROM
burn iso to CD
boot with disk in drive
fallow instructions.
