Hi all. Not having an issue as such but was just hoping to get some advice. I've had some problems getting the Win8 graphical boot loader to stick around. After a couple of re-installs I've got it to work, but at the moment on with Win8 and Win 7. I've installed NeoGrub, so that's there as well, but at the moment it's useless.
I've got no experience using grub at all, or Linux really for that matter. Basically I was hoping someone could:
A) Provide help setting up the NeoGrub script to load the latest version of Ubuntu.
B) Tell me if there's any chance doing this will compromise the nice graphical boot loader in Win8.
My understanding of NeoGrub is that it's a bootloader within a bootloader, and so hopefully shouldn't interfere with the Windows 8 one. Am I correct in thinking this?
Also just for reference my HDD setup is as follows:
Drive 0: 1 Partition - 2TB Storage, no OS.
Drive 1: 1 Partition - 120GB SSD, Windows 8
Drive 2: 4 Partitions - 785GB Storage, 100GB Win 7, 2GB Linux Swap, 47GB Ubuntu Linux
Any help would be really appreciated. I've been messing around for a few days trying to get the graphical boot loader back, and I don't want to get into a situation again where I have to re-install my OS because I didn't know what I was doing.
Thanks.
