Vista update screwed my Grub Partition Manager

Posted: 12-24-2007, 10:27 AM

I did have two running laptop systems with Vista and Mandriva Linux
installed.
All was great until I decided to update Visa via windows update.
Unfortunately, I had no idea what bitlocker was and thought I will
just install all the extra stuff no problem. I have Vista Ultimate
Edition installed. I knew nothing about bitlocker until the reboot. It
changed the bootloader (i was using Grub) I reinstalled the grub
bootloader and Vista is now screwed I tried to delete Vista and start
again but no I am now unable to get any installations running at all as
it simply says that Vista cannot find a useable system volume on the
disk.
I have a 50gb partition on the beginning of disk but I can't use it!!

Anyone have any idea how to fix this, I am desperate; they are presents
for my boys for xmas!!
Cheers,
Andy
