I had the "no bootable disk" problem on Windows and Ubuntu after installing on my MacBook Pro, (Penryn) in the following order: OSX, Windows XP (using bootcamp), rEFIt, Ubuntu 8.04. When I synchronized the MBR with the rEFIt, Ubuntu started working but windows said that it couldn't find "<windows root>\system32\hal.dll"
I then reinstalled _everything_ (what a pain that OSX can't reformat FAT32 and Swap partitions made by Ubuntu, and that bootcamp can't run unless everything is one big OSX partition), but with rEFIt last with exactly the same result. Reading this thread, I guess this isn't surprising :(
And now I'm no longer baffled by the smoothness with which I installed 7.10 previously...
I hope some of you geniuses will find a neat workaround, but until then I'll try to find a messy one...
