But I don't know why not, even after reading and trying for hours.
I have an HP dv9000z with two internal drives. The first one is all Vista Home Premium, the second is 35 gig of Windows partition, 70 gig of Ubuntu 7.04 64-bit.
I prefer Ubuntu, but have to use windows 32-bit for the iPhone (another complaint against Apple's iPhone attitude). O.k., Wednesday morning my wireless card refused to work for the first time in a year. I booted Ubuntu, and still no wireless, so I cabled to the router and Ubuntu was happy. Thursday, I called HP, and the (Windows-ony) tech had me load a new wireless driver, and a new BIOS. Still no wireless card, so I'm supposed to send in the machine for repair. So, I plugged in a Maxtor 320 gig USB drive, backed up Windows. But drat! now I can't boot Ubuntu. Been stuck there since Thursday (today is Saturday.)
I have upgraded to EasyBCD 1.7.0.1. I have installed GRUB from the Ubuntu CD several times. I have deleted and re-added the "NeoSmart Linux" entry a couple of times, both with and without the "No GRUB in the partition" box checked. If I delete and add the Linux entry the pulldown list contains an entry for "Linux live partion" (maybe not exactly, this is from memory) which I select. Later, though the Drive is set to C:.
The only difference checking "No GRUB" made was I get a screen saying "GRUB4DOS 0.4.3 ..." and a GRUB>_ prompt. Of course at that point "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns file not found.
I am stuck. Where is this chain broken? Could a new BIOS do this?
