Restoring grub after Windows install

[Eddie G.O'Connor Jr-I]

If you think Windows Vista was bad, and Windows 7 sucked, then check 
this out! And mind you I'm not a "Windows" basher at large, I just feel 
that they've never really been "about the consumer" but more "about the 
cash"....I understand most corporations using it, for it's hardware-wide 
compatibility, but as a personal home PC user why would you DO that to 
yourself? LoL!
