I had dual boot, Win7 64bit, and Ubuntu 11.10
I updated to Ubuntu 12.04
Now I am not met with the prompt asking which OS to boot into (setup via EasyBCD in Windows while I had Ubuntu 11.10)
Is there an easy way to get the boot manager to recognize both OS's again, or do I need to reinstall Windows again and go through that headache again? Any programs similar to EasyBCD for Ubuntu?
Thanks
