no not necessary, can install win7 vista was, kill grub bootcode in mbr (master boot records - gets overwritten w7's install).

if have ubuntu 10.04 live cd handy quite easy reinstall grub mbr. , when reboot should have both ubuntu , win7 select from. hunt around storage folders info.

please post terminal output of

code:

sudo fdisk -l

lower case l @ end of code. checking wubi vs separate partition set ups of dual booting .

edit: 10.04 live cd desktop open terminal, (note: not wubi installs or ubuntu installs separate /boot partition)

code:

sudo mount /dev/sdax /mnt

replace x partition number grub's files on. fdisk command given earlier should indicate info.

code:

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda

reboot , grub should load.

ensure windows detected correctly, after rebooting may pay first boot ubuntu , issue command.

code:

sudo update-grub

restart , check grub menu windows if wasn't there first time.
