Setup: Kubuntu 13.10/Windows 7 dual boot. Yesterday while working in Windows, it updated, now I'm stuck in a bootloop. So I'm going to have to fix that. Past experience tells me that I'll have to repair the whole grub/mbr setup after repairing windows, as it'll overwrite grub. My question is, is there a program that will allow me to take a snapshot of what the grub/mbr layout is currently, so that I can just replace the new one with a copy of the old one? My boot loop has nothing to do with the mbr, I don't think, as it boots past the logo screen before restarting.
I've looked at the large selection of grub/mbr repair programs/procedures and I'm totally confused as what to use. I actually thought about this one time before, when I ended up having to reinstall both windows and kubuntu, because I tried to repair grub/mbr and I guess I put it in the wrong place on the disk because the screen would just go black after the bios screen.
Thanks
