Best Way To Restore Lost Grub or Boot Menu In Ubuntu linux

After reinstalling windows XP and rebooted grub was lost.I had no way to boot linux. I inserted some Live cd then proceeded until i almost have installed linux i don’t know why but i made Boot Flag “True” for Linux partition and tried to installed grub again.When I rebooted : “No Operating System Found”.

The answer was Auto Super Grub disk.
I suggest not to use live cd and type at least 10 commands and end up nowhere.If you do so and change Boot Flag or Some thing you are welcomed to the same horror i had 2 years ago as i said above!

1) Boot Windows

2)Download Auto Super Grub Disk.exe

3)Stop Anti-virus program if any.
Because Auto Super Grub Disk will edit windows registry so Anti-virus will find identify it as a virus.
If don’t know how to stop Anti-virus then allow Auto Super Grub Disk to edit registry when Anti-virus show you a pop-up.

4)Double click Auto Super Grub Disk1.exe
click ok u need not do any thing ,just click ok.

5)Reboot
Now you Will see the Windows boot menu with another option: unetbootin-supergrubdisk.
Select it using arrow key and enter when it is selected.Just do nothing.
6)Select your Linux and boot
You will have grub menu again.
Select Linux and boot.When you are in Linux reboot.Now u have restored Grub menu.

7)Boot To Windows Now Auto grub disk wizard will ask to remove Super Grub Disk from the windows boot loader,Click yes.
Don’t worry you will still have the auto_super_grub_disk_1.0.exe file safe in windows.

8)Enjoy linux again.
