Hi,
You can restore the GRUB by booting from live CD like Belenix and do a manual 
grub install in the solaris partition which will be mounted by default by the 
live CD. I did it once to recover the GRUB and it works fine.

I have a 160 GB HDD , thought would triple boot WinXP, Ubuntu and SXDE

The partitions are as follows

Drive C: 24.4 GB ( NTFS/ Windows)
Drive D: 74.7 GB ( NTFS / not used )
Solaris partition : 60 GB approx ( UFS ) 

I want to take drive D , put swap/ext3 partition(s) in its place and install 
ubuntu on it.

I dont think Ubuntu's bootloader (GRUB) can chain-load SXDE's GRUB.
What is the solution? I dont want to blow away my SXDE partition. 

In Ubuntu I can boot using a livecd and restore the MBR ( by installing GRUB by 
hand).
Is something similar possible in the OpenSolaris world as well? if so, how do i 
do it?


Also, can i mount my ext3 partition in SXDE? I know I can mount UFS partition 
in ro mode in linux. 
Thanks
Manish
