I have vista ultimate build 6000. I wanted to test drive linux. I installed freespire on a 2nd drive.
when I boot, I get GRUB, with a default os of freespire, and then windows. I tried to use easyBCD 1.51. now when I pick windows from grub I get choices of windows/freespire. I cannot boot into freespire from here it just looks at me stupid. Here is what I have in easyBCD
There are a total of 2 entries listed in the Vista Bootloader.
Bootloader TimeOut: 30 seconds.
Default OS: Microsoft Windows Vista
Entry #1
Name: Microsoft Windows Vista
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows
Entry #2
Name: FreeSpire
BCD ID: {1b7315a1-c6ae-11db-994b-005070e852d2}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \NST\nst_grub.mbr
Windows Directory:
how can I get rid of grub completely and just use the windows bootloader?
How do I install a new linux distribution without creating a new "grub" instance?
Thanks for any advice!
