Takkat, thank you very much indeed ! The Sourceforge testdisk app did the trick for me on both my Ubuntu computers - when I came to «Boot», I was informed that the «Boot sector» was not identical to the «Backup boot sector». When this anomaly had been corrected and I exited, I found that I could boot into the respective Windows loaders. Wonderful ! Obviously the problem was due to a change in the MBR-sector which in turn had been caused by the upgrade. So even if, with Takkat's kind help, I have now been able to correct the problem, I still deem this a significant bug in need of crunching - users with multi-boot installations who upgrade from Karmic to Lucid should not be faced with this problem ! Hope the GRUB2 developers agree !...
