Auto Super Grub Disk installs a new boot entry into the Windows boot. Once you have reboot just select unetbootin-super grub disk and the program does everything alone so that you can recover your grub menu and thus your Linux boot again.
Version 1.7 adds Ubuntu 9.04 and ext4 support.

Pros
There's probably only 1 time this disk hasn't reinstalled GRUB to allow booting the OSs. Sure. you may have to use the included HELP files to learn how to use it. If using a dual, multiboot system it would be smart to research how to use this first.
Cons
Practicing use to learn it. There are only 1 or 2 commands which will hose your computer.
Summary
Installed 3 OSs and all it takes is one screwup to leave your computer inaccessible. But i'm just an explorer, have to read the forums to do anything so if I can learn Linux you can too. Installed Wins7 upgrade on a different HDD with XP and had no OS access. Loaded this disc and could access Wins7 immediately. Then installed a Ubuntu 904 OS (Mint 8) and after had my multiboot with Grub. LOVE THIS DISK! It will handle most any boot problem.

Pros
Ubuntu loads its virtual operating system from disk which is nice if you know what you are doing.
Cons
I do not understand linux and Ubuntu was Greek to me. A corrupt GRUB loader blocked access to my Vista 64 system. Nothing worked including the Super Grub Disk. I got a copy of Vista 64 Ultimate to bootup which gave me access to my computer.
Summary
Stay away from Ubuntu if you are a Windows user. Do not dual boot the two operating systems. Ubuntu will highjack your machine if you don't know what your're doing.
