I have 11.10 and Windows 7 in dual boot. Today I tried to update grub and I run the following command in terminal:

sudo fdisk -l    
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt 
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
sudo grub-install

After installation and reboot, it does not show the grub menu (from which I can choose which OS to boot) and it directly boots Ubuntu.

Please help.

Boot to your live cd.

Then: in a terminal type.........

sudo mount /dev/sdXY

Example:

sudo mount /dev/sda1

Run the grub-install command as described below. This will reinstall the GRUB 2 files on the mounted partition to the proper location and to the MBR of the designated device.

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX

Example:

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

Refresh the GRUB 2 menu with

sudo update-grub.

reboot

If this does not work for you - try the link bellow.
