I have a dual install going with windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. My window updates have been set to manual however I just find it really strange that every time I do a windows update my linux kernel goes missing and my grub loader fails at stage 2 and presents me with the grub console.
I have hunted around in my boot folder looking for my kernel (hd0, msdos2) using the grub cli and it appears not to be there. I have also setup a usb drive with ubuntu so I can try and recover my installation using boot-repair but this does not work.
I am really annoyed with this because I have to re-run the wubi installer and I keep losing my information. Is there a way to safe-guard my ubuntu against the malevolent updates from Microsoft so I don't have to keep going through this process?
My version of ubuntu is 12.04 LTS.
