Recover GRUB after reinstall windows
Boot using a Live CD or Installation CD.
mount your linux partition. Chroot, mount /proc and give the grub specific command to overwrite or update the mbr or where you want.
like my Linux root in /dev/sda4
after boot with the Live CD
#mkdir /mnt/lin (create a folder to use as a mount point)
#mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/lin
#chroot /mnt/lin
# mount /proc
#grub-install /dev/sda
or
#update-grub
the update-grub and grub-install command will work of Debian, Ubuntu and Debian based distro. If your are using other distribution. Read their grub policy and command. Here chroot will enable you to access the existing Linux system using the live CD kernel.
note: If you use normal Installation CD to recover grub then you might need to give the path known by the kernel. Like then you may need to use ../disc0/part4/ etc instead of /dev/hda6. You can find the exact path by execution a script called os-prober that generally comes with the installation CD of Debian.

Another Solution from

How to dual-boot Windows XP and Linux. (Now updated for XP SP 3 and Ubuntu 8.04.)
Once XP has been installed, it will boot happily into XP but there's no sign of Ubuntu. To reinstate GRUB as the system bootloader it needs to be reinstalled into the MBR.
Boot the system from the Ubuntu Live CD and select "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer".
Open a Terminal session - Applications, Accessories, Terminal
To enter the GRUB configuration mode, type in "sudo grub" and press Enter. Then type in the following commands in sequence:
- root (hd0,0) - it may be (sd0,0) for SCSI device
- setup (hd0)
- quit
- exit
Reboot the system. You'll get the GRUB bootloader but Vista won't be an option - we need to add this to the boot options.
Boot into Ubuntu and open up another Terminal session. Then, type in sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Scroll down to the bottom of the file and type in the following text strings:
title Windows XP
root (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Save the file and reboot. When the GRUB loader launches hit ESC for the boot menu. Windows XP is the last option - select it and XP will load.
If you want to make the GRUB menu always available, boot back into Ubuntu and edit the MENU.LST file. Find the hiddenmenu text string and change it to #hiddenmenu.
To increase the menu timeout, change the default timeout 3 to something more appropriate.
How To Manage & backup Profiles in Thunderbird
Mozilla Thunderbird stores all your personal settings, such as your mail, passwords and extensions, in a profile. The profile is stored on your hard drive in a profile folder.
If you run into problems using Thunderbird (e.g. problems starting after installing an extension, or other features not functioning properly), the first thing you're usually asked to do in the tech support forum is to create a new profile. This tutorial will not only show you how to do that, but also how to create backups and move or restore existing profiles.
Contents
- Locate your profile folder
- Create a new profile
- Backing up your profile
- Move an existing profile or restore a backed up profile
Locate your profile folder
Knowing where your profile folder is stored can be useful if, for example, you want to make a backup of your personal data.
- On Windows Vista/XP/2000, the path is usually
%AppData%\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\
, where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 8 characters. Just browse toC:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\
on Windows XP/2000 orC:\users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\
on Windows Vista, and the rest should be obvious. - On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\
- On Linux, the path is usually
~/.thunderbird/xxxxxxxx.default/
- On Mac OS X, the path is usually
~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/
%AppData% is a shorthand for the Application Data path on Windows 2000/XP/Vista. To use it, click Start > Run... (use the search box on Vista), enter %AppData% and press Enter. You will be taken to the "real" folder, which is normally C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data
on Windows XP/2000, C:\users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming
on Windows Vista.
Create a new profile
The screenshots are from Firefox, but the appearance is the same in Thunderbird.
In order to create a new profile, you use the Profile Manager. To start the Profile Manager in Windows, follow these steps:
- Close Thunderbird completely (select File > Exit from the main menu of Thunderbird).
- Select Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu (use the search box on Vista).
- Enter
thunderbird.exe -ProfileManager
and press OK.
On Mac OS X, hold down the Option key and double click the Thunderbird icon.
On Linux, start Thunderbird with the the -profilemanager switch, e.g. ./thunderbird -ProfileManager
(this assumes that you're in the Thunderbird directory).
You should now see the Profile Manager window, shown in the screenshot to the right.
From the Profile Manager you are also able to remove and rename profiles.
Click on the Create Profile... button to start the Create Profile Wizard. Click Next and enter the name of the profile, e.g. your name or something descriptive.
You can also choose where on the disk you want the profile to be stored, which is useful if you plan on exporting your settings to another computer or setup in the future.
Finally, click Finish to have Thunderbird create the new profile.
You are now running Thunderbird with the new profile, which means all settings are reset to default. If you want to switch back to your old profile, just start the Profile Manager again (instructions above) and select the old profile.
You can also have Thunderbird start a selected profile automatically, so you don't have to pick one each time the browser is launched. Do this by checking the Don't ask at startup option.
Backing up your profile
Backing up your profile folder in Thunderbird is easy. Just follow these steps (which assumes you know how to manage files on your computer):
- Shut down Thunderbird completely (File > Exit).
- Make a copy of your profile folder to, for example, a CD-RW disc or a separate hard disk for backup purposes.
Move an existing profile or restore a backed up profile
It's possible to move the location of a profile folder. This could be useful if you have a backed up profile folder somewhere on your hard drive and want to tell Thunderbird to use that as your profile. This section explains how to do this.
- Shut down Thunderbird completely (File > Exit).
- Move the profile folder to the desired location. For example, on Windows XP, move the profile from
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
toD:\Stuff\MyMailProfile
. If you are reading these instructions because you want to restore a previously backed up profile, this step isn't necessary. Just note the current location of the profile you want to restore. - Open up
profiles.ini
in a text editor. The file is located in the application data folder for Thunderbird:- On Windows Vista/XP/2000, the path is
%AppData%\Thunderbird\
- On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Thunderbird\
- On Linux, the path is
~/.thunderbird/
- On Mac OS X, the path is
~/Library/Application Support/Thunderbird/
- On Windows Vista/XP/2000, the path is
- In
profiles.ini
, locate the entry for the profile you've just moved. Change thePath=
line to the new location. If you are using a non-relative pathname, the direction of the slashes may be relevant (this is true for Windows XP). - Change
IsRelative=1
toIsRelative=0
. - Save
profiles.ini
and restart Thunderbird.
