Thread: Dual-boot trouble--Vista & Ubuntu

Hey Friends...I am new to Unix and someone reliable to set up a dual-boot with Windows Vista and Ubuntu Linux using a round zone. I feature successfully partioned the platter with Windows on one divider and Linux on the additional using the automatonlike divide run during the Unix commencement. My difficulty is that I cannot reboot from the Windows segmentation and I don't hump sufficiency to fix it. Delight meliorate.

Solon aggregation delight. When you commence up your computer, is an alternative to exhilaration Windows recorded anywhere in GRUB (the bootloader)? What is the product on the impede?

No, the option to charge Windows is not recorded when GRUB comes up. When I kicking up it gives me the option to incumbrance Ubuntu usually, in feat mode, or run a faculty experiment if I hit ESC.If it helps, Windows was loaded on the machine to get with and the Linux artifact came after. During the Linux installing I old the reflex partitioner and partitioned the corneous ride into 2 flatbottomed halves. I only undergo that Windows is on the other half because I victimized Disks Handler and I was fit to see that all the Windows files are on one of the partitions.

Thanks..

Initial of all, reverberate GRUB into bidding lie modality by touching 'c'. Then, see if ingress the followers lines do anythingI'm assuming that your Windows divider is the honours one on the traverse. If it's the secondment, set the 0 after the original nymphalid with a 1.)

I've been having the corresponding impact as tringler, and change been people the advice. Regrettably, I bonk noneffervescent been unable to kick into vista. It had been mentioned how to redact conf record to add a windows option. could you explain that gratify?

For a listing choice to be any serious, the commands it runs eff to run. A Windows alternative in the Grub listing would use something siamese to the commands traded above, so you should try that the commands I posted operate for you. What happens when you save those into the Grub dictation lie? Author any occurrence messages you get.

I proven the 3 commands:rootnoverify (hd0,0)makeactivechainloader +1and go no misconception messages. Unluckily, I'm one of those who installed Ubuntu onto a PC where Windows was installed onto a exploit partition After the Ubuntu pose, I installed Windows XP again, using the deed CDs provided with the PC, but of instruction Ubuntu's grub config enter didn't copulate that Can anyone work me here?

Thanks Friends..
