Dell Inspiron, Windows 7, Karmic install, Dell Datasafe, same problem:
Every Windows boot breaks grub, that is even windows can only boot once!
(but can be fixed with a rescue disc, again, and again, and again...)
Error looks like "Grub loading. The symbol ' ' not found."

I removed Dell DataSafe Local Backup and Dell DataSafe Local Backup - Support Software
(but left Dell Datasafe online backup there) and the problem is fixed. I have now booted Ubuntu
and Windows twice each, and logged into Windows and restarted.

Perhaps Canonical can report this to Dell...

I'm guessing that this bug only took effect the first time Dell Datasafe Local
was used. The user/laptop owner is not clear on this.
