But Bill Gates wrath was mercyless. I screwed up my MBR on my primary harddrive with an ubuntu install and nothing worked anymore. I couldn’t boot either system up because my MBR got overwritten and then something horrible happened.

Well, to make a long story short – the only way I found to make that go away is using the brilliant MBR fix by KÃ¥re Smith which will make your pain (i.e. Grub) disappear in a heartbeat…you just need something to boot your system into DOS mode. Ah well…time to connect that damned old floppy disk drive again *sigh*
