RE: Help! Restore Bootloader
SGD has a menu option for "fixing windows boot"- that will restore ntldr etc, and not give you the option of booting into Ubuntu. Anyway, GRUB is surprisingly easy to fix. Hang on a second.
EDIT: using the live CD, can you get to boot/grub/menu.lst on the Ubuntu partition, and upload it here? Also, Paragon reports that you have 102 MB of Linux swap, where is that? And is FAT32 your Ubuntu partition?
EDIT Again: Whoops, sorry, I am not very good at reading it seems. The orange section isn't validating as ext3, so the original format must not have worked, or Windows wrote over it on first boot [this happened to me on my first Debian install, Windows swapped to my ext partition, overwriting GRUB stage 2!] Since you have been able to boot to Windows, reinstalling Ubuntu over that orange section should work fine.

was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
