Idea #11635: include easy grub installer in live cd..

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #1242: Restoring the bootloader by Ubuntu installation CD.
Written by everlasting.puneet the 29 Jul 08 at 20:31. Category: Installation. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
currently if grub is deleted we have to open terminal and then have to run 3 commands (find,root,setup) .. but every one does not know it people come to me for help in getting their ubuntu back after reinstalling windows over ubuntu and the grub is deleted.
so i say that there should be an graphical thing just like ubuntu installer
which can easily reinstall grub..

A wubi-like app for windows that restores grub included in liveCD AND downloadable from official ubuntu site would be welcome as well.
