hi everyone,
i have easybcd with widnows 7 and windows xp both working. i've tryed to install ubuntu 9.1 following the tutorials but when i boot it, it says that the partion can't be booted. i'm trying to use neogrub, but i doens't work either. i think the reason it's that the new grub provied with ubuntu 9 doesn't make any menu.lst file of his own( or maybe i can't find it) tryed to paste in the menu.lst of neogrub what i found in grub.cfg, which is
Code: 
#

# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

have_grubenv=true
load_env
fi

if [ ${prev_saved_entry} ]; then
saved_entry=${prev_saved_entry}
save_env saved_entry
prev_saved_entry=
save_env prev_saved_entry
fi
insmod ext2
set root=(hd1,3)

if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode=640x480
insmod gfxterm
insmod vbe
if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else

### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###
and i also tryed to correct that strange name it gives to the hd, "329c80149c7fd139" with its actual name sdb3 (in which are installed ubuntu and grub)
what can i do?
i hope i can copy some of the lines in grub.cfg to the menu.lst file of neogrub, but my actual tentatives didnt' work.
thanks for the attention
 
Hi hor,welcome to NST.
Ubuntu 9.10 uses grub2
Make sure you're using EasyBCD 2.0 latest build (not 1.7)
Delete your previous attempts at making a Linux entry.
Add a new one selecting grub2 from the dropdown, not legacy grub.
Don't worry that everything "greys" out. Easy2 doesn't need any more information.
