Kudos and many thanks to the developer of this nice piece of software.
Two days ago, I installed Karmic Koala (ext4-formatted partition) on my Vista-OEMed HP Pavilion dv7. My first Linux!
I then downloaded EasyBCD 2.0 Build 67 in order to make a clean dual-boot, leaving Vista MBR untouched.
During the first try, I was so surprised to see that selecting 'GRUB 2' disabled the 'Device' option that I finally selected the 'GRUB Legacy' one to be able to choose a partition and to "tick". Of course, this resulted in a total failure to load anything else than an error message!
Disconcerted, I then read more on this forum about the new builds, to realize that, yes, EasyBCD 2.0 Build 67 was so well done that it no longer needed the 'Device' option when both OS are on the same HD.
Needless to say, the second time I selected 'GRUB 2' without hesitation and it was an immediate full success!
I take my hat off to Mahmoud!
