Hello;
I apologize if this question has already been asked but I am new to this forum and need a little guidance prior to installing EasyBCD as my primary bootloader.
I currently have a Window 7 setup running dual boot with Kubuntu Karmic Koala. I use grub 2 as the default boot loader but I wanted to use a boot loader that was easier to use and found EasyBCD as the bootloader of choice.
Allow me to first add that I updated the grub 2 menu in ubuntu and mind you, in the grub 2 version there is no menu.1st file to edit. You edit some other files which in turn make changes to the grub.cfg file. In either case, all looks good but I would like to try out EasyBCD.
My questions are will the EasyBCD bootloader replace grub? If so, how will EasyBCD know which kernel to boot? and finally, if EasyBCD is added to the Windows 7 MBR then that means that grub will still load right? since it loads in the bootsector and not necessarily the MBR. If this is the case then how do I completely remove grub from loading at startup and use EasyBCD completely? That's all for now. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
