When I initially set up my dual boot (Windows Vista/Ubuntu) setup, I followed the excellent instructions found here on this site. And everything has been working fine until today.
For some reason, I am now getting the GRUB menu first again. After selecting the Windows recovery option (the one at the bottom) I then get my Windows bootloader screen that shows me Vista and Ubuntu options, and if I leave it along, it times out and starts up Vista as before.
But I have been unable to get rid of the GRUB screen
I went through the steps in the second section of the writeup again, where I started Easy BCD (2.0.2), selected bootloader setup, and then install Vista bootloader to the MBR.
But upon restart, I still get the GRUB loader menu.
First, here's what I see in EasyBCD:
--------------------------------
There are a total of 2 entries listed in the bootloader.
Default: Microsoft Windows Vista
Timeout: 10 seconds
Boot Drive: C:\
Entry #1
Name: Microsoft Windows Vista
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Entry #2
Name: Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit
BCD ID: {2b0b9bd7-4748-11de-8c72-bcfbe3caf0fe}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr
-------------------------
and now what I see in Belarc Advisor (in case that helps):
