[SOLVED] GRUB is gone after reinstallation

[slogum]

After upgrading to Linux Mint 9 (from 8 ) I can't choose witch OS to boot. Before, when i started Mint 8, I got a GRUB-screen where I could choose between normal boot, safe-mode boot, ..., and Windows 7. After upgrading I don't see this screen anymore, it boots directly into Mint 9.

How can I get it back?

ls: cannot access /var/lib/os-prober/mount/boot
Boot: No such file or directory

Solution
Boot into your Linux OS and deleted or rename the folder /boot on the Windows system partition. Make sure that your don't delete the /Boot folder. The /Boot folder contains the file "bcd" which is necessary to boot Windows Vista/7.
