(Get the code!)
Same thing happened to my Dell Studio 17 a couple of months ago. I fixed Grub 2 with
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sda
exit
sudo umount /mnt/dev
sudo umount /mnt/proc
sudo umount /mnt
sudo reboot
I've been able to go back and forth between Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit since then, so I thought it was just new-laptop shakedown. But today I was in Windows looking at Dell DataSafe Local Backup (didn't use it to burn a backup disk, just opened it and looked at some of the tools) and when I rebooted...
Grub loading...
the symbol ' a rei[upsidedown triangle]?8' not found
Aborted. Press any key to exit.
I'm going to uninstall Dell DataSafe the very next time I boot Windows. If anyone uninstalls it and continues to get this error PLEASE let us know. Thanks!
