I have used EasyBCD for about 2 years roughly now to boot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu with great success since when I first got Ubuntu Grub didn't configure properly for some reason. My problem now is that the boot manager is not booting to Ubuntu. I boot to Windows (a 256Gb Samsung 840 Pro) as default after a countdown of 15 seconds, and Ubuntu is on a separate drive to Windows (Samsung 500Gb) but the files are all on C. I have tried many things, restoring old backups from when I had Win 7 Pro, deleting the ANG0 file and the NST folder on the root of C where EasyBCD installs to, then deleting both entries from within EasyBCD, saving the settings, then recreating each entry and saving again. I then also made a 1Gb USB flash drive bootable from within EasyBCD. Upon getting EasyBCD to say that the default drive was C and not where I stored the backup files, I rebooted to try Ubuntu again. And true to form it failed to find the ANG0 file on any of the NTFS drives in my machine but found it on the USB Drive I made bootable.
I'm the latest version of EasyBCD 2.0.2 something, NOT the 2.2 Beta. At one point I deleted the Ubuntu entry and added it again without saving, at the same time I was watching the root of C, and an ANG1 file was created (I didn't look in the NST folder where "AutoNeoGrub0.mbr" is located), so it isn't unable to create files. When I changed from 7 Professional to 7 Ultimate I installed EasyBCD and recreated the entries rather than using a backup, and it worked perfectly, until a month or so ago when I noticed it had stopped working. I'm actually now wondering whether the latest firmware from Samsung caused this problem, now that I'm Ubuntu it says it can't mount it because of "No object for D-Bus interface", I have it on the 6Gbps port of my Motherboard for speed more than anything and I'm wondering if this is the problem. Can I put the files on my 2Tb Storage drive which is E and hide them so I don't accidentally change them or delete them?
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,
Stephen
