Ok....so....I have been at this for a while....and, I have reformatted my computer a very large number of times.....
I have an HP dv9230us laptop with two 100 GB HDs....I have vista installed on hd0 and ubuntu installed on hd1.....I have used the live cd to write grub to hd1 and i have added entries in neogrub through easybcd for both linux boot with grub and without
in addition...i created some entries in neogrub that would try to find the /boot/grub/stage1 and all of that.....it always says the file cannot be found
also, i tried to add some with a "root (h1,0)" command at the beginning....which...it finds the partition....but it says something like.."the partition is ntfs....(hex value)"....and i very clearly know that ubuntu in an ext3 filesystem is at that partition number.....or at least...easybcd seams to thing so too....
anyone have any solutions?
thanks in advance
Addendum:
also.....the last time i installed ubuntu....i changed advance to install grub to (hd1,0)
