So if encryption of the /home directory doesn't work (it's a known bug) - how do I recover from this? Will following theses steps recover my installation?
"Can probably solve that easily by following these instructions: How to Repair MBR (Windows Boot Loader) From Ubuntu. Open a terminal (Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal), then follow the instructions beginning at step #2. (Step #1 is unnecessary.) It would be best to copy/paste those commands as opposed to typing them out. That way you'll avoid potential typos and/or syntax issues. Definitely do that for the step #3 command! If you make a typo, it could wipe out the drive.
When you're done with above, reboot w/o USB and see if it worked. Then reboot into live LL USB again and post back the output of the two commands in my first post so we can see what partitions are on the drive now.
Let us know your experience level with Linux also. Will know how detailed to make answers then.
P.s. Did you have to shrink any Windows partitions before the LL install? And if so, did you defragment drive before doing that?[/font]
