I installed a PCI Magic Card on my system. It installs grub bootloader (I presume). When it tries to boot I get the following:

Boot failed! Press any key to enter command line.

I'm using Windows 7. Is there a way to solve this issue?

"It installs grub bootloader (I presume)." Are you sure about this? The description on the manufacturer does not say anything about this. – Michael K Feb 22 '11 at 11:53
@Michael It's definitely grub. – Amir Rachum Feb 23 '11 at 16:45
Which installation option did you choose? Did you set the card as your first boot device in BIOS? – Tog Feb 14 at 10:51

if you want to preserve grub, get a linux live cd (preferably Ubuntu) and follow the instructions here http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
