Hello all,
I have a Compaq Presario CQ50 with Vista & Ubuntu 10.04 installed. I have followed the instructions for setting up EBCD to the letter the machine will work fine until Grub 2 updates then I lose the EBCD boot screen until I restore the MBR with a live recovery disk that writes the code for the Vista MBR (UBCD4Win 3.2). Of course the partitions include a factory installed recovery partition at the end of the disk and it is a fresh install of Vista and Ubuntu, Vista installed first then Ubuntu. Any idea of what is happening and how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. The only time I ever have an issue like this is when I am dual booting a Compaq machine. Grub 2 handles all others without a hitch.
Thank you
Ktechman
Update:
After editing the 30 os prober file in Ubuntu to include the Vista partitions and then reinstalling Grub 2 then a reboot I again lost EBCD but.... when I choose the Vista entry on the Grub 2 boot menu I was brought to the EBCD boot screen then on subsequent reboots I had to follow the same routine Grub 2 then EBCD.
