Hello People !
 
Hope you all are doing good.
 
I have a dual boot on my system Windows (Vista + 7 ) preinstalled +
Linux-Ubuntu (installed later by me)
Last day when I tried starting Windows it gave some error and started system
recovery after which i couldnt follow much as the instructions were in
japanese. But at the end when i restarted my comp it didnt showed grub to
select the OS from which i want to boot instead it showed-   grub rescue:> .
I tried booting from Ubuntu CD but still it showed the same thing and was
not reading the CD. I cant find any solution to it, can anyone help.
 
Thanks and Regards

Hi Deepika,
I guess you already have got a lot of answers from other members. 
Maybe it would be a good option to restore your MBR from Windows Recovery
Console. I just did this by following instructions from this link.

Needless to say, an ideal situation is to install Linux (Ubuntu) first and
then install Windows on it.
