I am brand new to linux so please bear with me if I dont understand some things.
I have Vista HP x64 installed on my C drive.
I installed Ubuntu 8.10 x64 on my E drive.
The first time I installed Ubuntu I forgot to put grub into the partition.
I went back into Vista and deleted the volume. I then installed it again putting grub in the partition.
I set up Easy BCD with neogrub.
So far Vista loads normally on boot. If I pick Linux I get 3 options Generic, Safe, and Memtest.
If I pick either Generic or Safe I get the error 17 file not found.
If I change the HDD order in the bios, Ubuntu starts and runs fine.
My Menu.lst :
# NeoSmart NeoGrub Bootloader Configuration File
#
# This is the NeoGrub configuration file, and should be located at C:\NST\menu.lst
# Please see the EasyBCD Documentation for information on how to create/modify entries:

find --set-root --ignore-floppies /boot/grub/menu.lst
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
# All your boot are belong to NeoSmart!
