Boot screen

[A2]

A month back, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 along with my Windows 7. Just few days back I had my Windows 7 re-installed. And from now on, I don't see my boot menu when my laptop starts up.
I had ubuntu installed on a seperate partition (of about 100GB).
My ubuntu's still there, but I just can't get the boot screen to show up. Not good with this stuff ._.
Any halp?

Click Start > right click Computer > Properties > Advance System Settings >
Advanced (tab) > under Startup and Recovery click "Settings" > System
setting, set the "Time to display list of operating systems:.

I just tried it on 7, it works.

Ok so apparently, the system isn't detecting that I have Ubuntu. Weird. But I guess I have to re-install ubuntu as well.

Protip: It is always a BAD idea to have windows 7 installed afterwards.

Its fat and eats other operating systems faces. (Happened to me)

Yeah, reinstall ubuntu. Makes sure your data is backed up. Microsoft hates other OS's and won't even recognize linux partitions/

Actually, from what you're describing, Ubuntu is still installed and Windows just overwrote the MBR with its own ignorant bootloader. If you can fix that, it's only a google search away.

Do NOT follow this blindly, understand where and which your partitions are, but something like this will do: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/

The nice thing about Linux is that even the most broken systems are transparent enough so they can be fixed. Windows tends to be rather opaque in that regard.
