I had 3 Installations of windows on my machine previously and all were bootable. The drive letters were C,D,E .I chose to format C drive and install Ubuntu on it. Ubuntu installed perfectly and got running. However I cannot boot my other two installtions of windows now. Also any attempts to reformat and re-install windows on the same partition on which ubuntu is installed have all failed and now I find my self stuck so please help me urgently

I can't understand. The GRUB should actually display even the 2 windows partitions.

Anyways, i advise u to backup all ur data onto another hard disk and then, format ur current one. After that, install whatever OSes u want and get back the data onto ur original hard disk. Bye:)
