I have two drives, one 750Gb SATA and one 250Gb SATA. The 250 is the physical primary, and the 750 the physical secondary.
The 250 is Vista and the 750 Ubuntu Intrepid.
I followed the instructions in the wiki, and, when the drives are swapped in BIOS, I can quite easily boot Ubuntu, so I know GRUB is installed correctly.
When I add a BCD entry using EasyBCD 1.72, using Disk 1, Partition 0 (Linux native) (leaving the GRUB isn't installed option unchecked) and then reboot, the Linux entry flashes something quickly and I return immediately to the Vista bootloader.
It would be very nice if I could use the Vista bootloader to select an OS, as I would like to keep the Vista partition handy for some particular apps (and, yes, some gaming) and use the Ubuntu partition for net stuff and file storage.
Hopefully someone out there has a suggestion?
Cheers in advance.
(Edit - I hope someday to master the arcane art of punctuation.)
