The problem is the Dell Datasafe Local Backup application. After I started it yestarday the first time and later rebooted my system (dell studio 1747) grub loader was broken with the message "the symbol '_<shetub_fshelp_read_file>' not found.

After reinstalling grub from liveCD with the method 1 (the simplest one) from this link:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
grub loader was ok and I could boot both ubuntu and windows.

To provide that this damn Dell Datasafe Local Backup application will not destroy once again the grub loader I deinstalled this "Datasafe software" with Windows Software Deinstallation, and guess what happend after next reboot?

"the symbol '[some other text]' not found"

same problem, the deinstallation had destroyed grub loader once again!

I reinstalled grub the second time, and now I hope nothing else will destroy my grub once again.
