It should also be pointed out that the reason grub disappears is that
Microsoft thinks they own every computer they install on.  They wipe
out any other boot loaders when they install.  Linux is nicer in that
while they will wipe out Windows' loader if you ask it to, it will add
Windows to its boot menu.

So, the rule always is, install Windows first but reserve enough space
on the hard drive for Linux.  Then install Linux.
===============================================================
===============================================================
after using linux rescue
it asks for choose a language
and then it asks for type of keyboard do you have.
and after that it asks for whatever called network (something).
then there are 3 options 
1)continue
2)read only
3)skip
when I click on continue
It does not find linux installation on computer however there is linux installation.
how to restore  grub 
I would be thankful to person who could help me out.

Thanks
Manish Soin.
