I have winxp installed on the first partition and ubuntu on the rest to the hard drive as below.
Reading here, I think a lot of my problem is that I formatted the linux ext4, but also using easyBCD 1.7.2, I see here something about Grub2 which 1.7.2 doesn't seem to know about.
If ext4 won't work for the linux boot, I guess I have to start over with a new Ubuntu install.
Also, is seems that the choices for the ubuntu 10.4 installation are significantly different from the guidance at NeoSmart Technologies Guides, expecially the part where you configure grub.
Instead of 1-post wonder it should be 1-post disaster
