Ok. Obviously (like most people I am wanting to triple boot).
I have a 100 gig hd (ide) and have it partitioned 5 ways: [XP][Vista][Ubuntu][SWAP][FileDrive]
only the xp, vista, and ubuntu are primary, the other 2 are logical
my mbr is on the xp driver (duh?)
i installed xp and vista and i had planned to install ubuntu 7.04 when it came out. i went to install it and i didnt realize that i had made ubuntu a logical drive (as far as i know you cannot boot off of a logical partition). SO...i used a diskmanager to convert my file drive to a logical partition and my ubuntu to a primary.
I can read the ubuntu drive (ext2/3) in vista/xp because i found a driver thing for it.
I can see the boot/grub files, but i dont know what to do with them.
Another thing is i have a grub that boots before the vistaloader (most will know why). I dont really care when i decide to hit the ubuntu boot loader, i just want it to boot. I tried neogrub and it throws me back at the screen that is the orignal grub then ultimately back at the vista boot loader.
I tried chainloading the boot loaders by the instructions on the website, but i either did something wrong or it didnt work.
Anytime i choose to add an entry using easyBCD i get an error saying that /nst/nst_grub.mbr cant be found, but i have know idea where it comes from in the first place.
thanks for your help.'
