[olug] OLUG Digest, Vol 95, Issue 12

[Mike Romeu]

I am currently attempting to recover from a grub error 22 situation after installing backtrack 4 r2 on my windows 7 acer d260 netbook.  So far the only solution is to re-install bt4 but as soon as I try to load win7, it goes into the forced recovery mode then restarts.  Afterwards I get the grub error 22 message once more.  So far, supergrub and rescatux have not worked to fix the issue and neither has a windows 7 rescue disk (USB).  I'm currently trying to find a legit win7 to create an iso and extract to a USB drive...
