My computer recently had a hardware upgrade and now runs on Windows 7. I decided to install Ubuntu 11.04 as dual boot using the ISO I got from ubuntu.com downloaded onto my USB stick.
Restarting with the USB stick, I was able to install Ubuntu 11.04 choosing the option:
Install Ubuntu 11.04 side by side with Windows 7 (or something like that).
No errors were encountered on installation. However on restarting, there was no GRUB; the system went straight into Windows 7.

Are you sure it's --root-directory? It doesn't show up in the manpage, and grub-install complains when I give it that option. Did you mean --boot-directory?

Are you sure it's --root-directory? It doesn't show up in the manpage, and grub-install complains when I give it that option. Did you mean --boot-directory?

After three days, I decided to reformat, reinstall windows 7 (first), then ubuntu following these instructions.
Today, I have a dual boot pc running ubuntu 11.04 by default, and windows 7.
What was different this time, was that I partitioned my hard drive using gparted while inside ubuntu trial mode, then installed ubuntu from there. Immediately after the reboot, I got my grub.

Next time if you want to use the Windows bootloader there are tools out there to allow booting linux from windows. Otherwise you can load a recovery linux CD and reinstall Grub.

You can also boot into live mode and use Ubuntu Boot Repair.
