Well it's always a risk when dual booting that the MBR would be overwritten.
I'm guessing it must have been, but grub is wokring fine - it's only when I tell grub to chainload from the Windows partition that I get the BOOTMGR is missing message. I guess whatever is in the first block of the Windows partition is this bootmgr, but I don't understand how it got screwed up just by me resizing the partition (as per yast's suggestion).
I don't know if Vista & 7 are different, I suspect not, but XP writes several bytes just in front of the MBR table beginning at 0x01B7. It can get very bent out of shape when it's changed or missing. Since I never allow Grub to write to any MBR I don't have any direct experience with what Grub may or may not write in that location. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
