Edit: I am using latest version EasyBCD 2.0 beta
I have 2 hard drives:
sda and sdb (vista is on sda)
I installed Ubuntu on sdb
Chose my /boot partition (sdb1) for the Grub2 install
I added entry with the Grub2 option in EasyBCD 2.0 - Latest beta version
I rebooted and chose my Ubuntu install from bootup list.
I am dropped into a
GRUB4DOS
grub> (prompt)
If I type ls ... it shows a bunch of files on my windows drive!!
Is there any way to correct this?? Seems like EasyBCD is not seeing my second hard drive?
Thank you in advance
Addendum:
I am thinking part of the problem may be that GRUB2 will have to be installed on the main drive that bios boots from - (sda) In which case I guess I will switch the sata cables from my hard drives.
I still don't see why these should be issues:
1. If I let grub2 install itself to sda (on the vista drive) I am dropped to a rescue grub prompt on boot up.
2. If I try to let EasyBCD handle grub2 whether grub2 is installed on sda (from itself) -- Or if I install grub2 to another partition... either way I am dropped to a prompt on boot up.
Only thing left as a solution is drive position and which drive bios boots first........ ?
I get this feeling no matter what I do; grub2 is not seeing itself and the linux mbr on the 2nd drive.
