Upgrading from 10.?? to 11.04 destroyed Win7 Dual Boot. Recover?

Re: Upgrading from 10.?? to 11.04 destroyed Win7 Dual Boot. Recover?

Well, that got me back to a functioning GRUB for Kubuntu. Still no sign of Win7, though.

The grub-install command got me the same chain of os-prober not finding anything on the different SDAs.

The sudo reboot left me wondering whether I was supposed to be back in the live cd or in the now functioning Kubuntu on the hard drive for the update-grub. I tried the hard drive first. Didn't make any change. Then I booted back into the live cd. There I get :

/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat 'aufs'.

*sigh*

Yes, run update-grub from your kubuntu installation (not live cd).

Ok, now you can try restoring windows 7 bootloader, read here for more details instructions. This will remove your grub, so you need to reinstall it again. Let us know how it goes

wow! Reading Torquemada28's adventure (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310519) ought to be a requirement before anyone tries to dual boot with Win7. OTOH, I had a perfectly fine 10.10 dual boot, so it's not impossible. I should never have tried the update.
