Re: get back boot options
1. Boot from a Live CD, like Ubuntu Live, Knoppix, Mepis, or similar.
2. Type "sudo grub" which makes a GRUB prompt appear. 3. Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0)" or in my case "(hd0,3)". 4. Type "root (hd0,3)", or whatever step 3 gives. 5. Type "setup (hd0)". 6. Type "quit". 7. Restart the system. Remove the bootable CD.

Re: get back boot options
NTFS read-write can be enabled using NTFS-3G. Check here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthre...hlight=ntfs-3g
And why do you need to set environment variables? Anyway, to set environment variables, type "export <variablename>=<value>" Eg: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
