Unlike casualprogrammer, I have found that windows does destroy the bootloader after shutting down, however, my laptop has windows preinstalled, and I am trying to add Ubuntu, not the other way around (from above). Perhaps this is a different problem.

My Windows 7 installation always seems to reclaim the MBR upon shutdown. When the system boots up after running Win 7, it fails to find any boot loader.

I have tried to dualboot windows 7 & ubunto with an intel hardware Raid ( striped raid 0)
Windows 7 was installed at first, after ubunto installation the Grub menu dos not contain windows 7.
Dos it relevant to Raid controller?
how could i add windows 7 in boot menu?

I tried win 7 first, shrunk the hard drive, then installed Suse Linux 10.0. Rebooted options-Suse linux, windows, Suse linux safe mode. Selected Wins. Bootmgr missing – ctrl alt delete. I tried replacing MBR & Boot & BCD. Booted straight to Wins, no Linux. I booted from Linux DVD and repaired grub. Back again to no access to wins from options

I’ve done this when it came to dual booting Vista and Win7 earlier this year. After I enabled the secondary drive, Windows 7 would not prompt me to boot into an earlier operating system. I had to use the BCDEDIT command while in Vista to add the Windows 7 installation.

I’m questioning how relevant that was to your question, but I did not try this using a GRUB multiboot with multiple disks with other OSes installed on them. This tutorial was written using only one hard disk.

Are you assuming that Windows is primary OS on the disk even after enabling the HDDs through the BIOS or is Win7 being installed on a secondary drive? I’m pretty sure you would still have to reconfigure GRUB.
