I just installed 12.04 to Dual Boot (separate partitions) with an existing Win 7. Upon reboot after install things freeze after Grub 1.5 with a Grub Error 15 message.
Is there any easy way to fix this? (I am posting this from my second computer)
UPDATE: I managed to boot into both 12.04 and Win7 using BIOS:
- Selected the disk with the Win7 'C' Partition: resulted in the same error message
- Rebooted, tried the disk with the Ubuntu Partitions: *Grub Menu loaded:
- Managed to boot 12.04, rebooted, used BIOS again:
- Managed to boot Win 7
So, I have access to my computer again (thru BIOS), but this has been a pretty crappy install experience.

I used the the Final release 12.04 Ubuntu install disk, reformatted all Linux partitions, and expected a simple clean install. Other than specifying the Ubuntu Partitions, I did a basic install of 12.04. No way I did do anything to get this crap error failure! I have no idea why my install resulted in a Grub-15 error.
CLOSED - Answered my own Question: I burned a RescuTux Disk and used it to recover grub2 (simplest and easiest way for me. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/category/download/rescatuxdownloads/
