Hey there!
I have had Vista installed for a while and decided last night that it would be a good idea to add another hard drive to my system. I took it out from another computer which had Windows 2003 installed on it, made it a slave and installed it.
Below is how my computer is setup now:
Master IDE = Vista
Slave IDE = Windows 2003, Ubuntu (newly installed drive)
SATA = No OS is installed on this drive.
Anywho, I deleted a few things and installed Ubuntu in the free space on the newly installed drive. After installing Ubuntu, grub threw up error 22 so I decided to reinstate vista's boot loader and use EasyBCD.
Now then, I went back into linux via my live cd and installed grub on the root partition (hd1,1 in linux). I came back to Windows and told EasyBCD to look there for grub. Upon rebooting, I got an error that had to do with NTLDR. So I switched the ubuntu entry to (1,2) in EasyBCD. When I rebooted this time, I got a black screen that said GRUB in the top right corner. Nothing else.
Okay, that's just one of my problems
Here's the other one, it has to do with Windows.
I added Windows 2003 to EasyBCD under drive G: since that is the drive letter my 2003 install shows up as in Vista. I go to boot into that and it tells me that ntdetect failed and that my boot.ini file is bad.
Here is my boot.ini file for reference:
I'm guessing that I have to somehow change this to reflect that it is on drive G: instead of C: like it was in the other computer.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
If you guys could help me achieve triple boot bliss, I would appreciate it :3
Thanks!
