Comment 88 for bug 477104

Re: Post #5: Mr. Russo; On my machine C:\wubildr and H:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr match exactly as to Byte size and MD5Sum, as do C:\wubildr.mbr and H:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr, where Win 2K is installed on C:\ (or Disc 1-1) and Ubuntu 9.10 is(was) installed on H:\ (or Disc 2-1). Disc 1-1 is the only Primary partition on drives; all other are Logical within Extended partitions; and ALL partitions are NTFS. Ergo, I did not replace the two files on C:\. As of the failure of Grub 1.97~B4 to boot the system, H:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub is vacant. Nichts, hidden or visible.

I rather think you now have moved beyond this. If I may assist another way, please advise. J.R.L.
