Hi,
In the past few days i had a complaint from many of the juniors:
After ubuntu installation, everything works fine until you boot into
windows. If you restart the system after booting windows once, it shows *no
operating system found*.
Many people think that this is a problem with Ubuntu :-( But unfortunately
this is an antifeature of some windows applications.

If you have faced such problem the following link may help you:

I have faced issues with Dell's Data Safe Software fiddling with the
MBR everytime we boot into Windows and causing troubles with GRUB. The
solution was to disable/uninstall that software and the issues were
gone.

Thanks & Regards,
