Dear support,
This is my setup:
1 IDE internal drive. 80GB. Contains two 40GB NTFS partitions. The first one is XP, the second is Vista. Vista bootloader sees both of them.
1 SATA internal NTFS drive 500GB. No OS's installed - used for storage.
1 USB external NTFS drive 500GB. No OS's installed - used for storage and backup
1 USB external enclosure containing a 160GB SATA drive. This is the drive to install Linux on. The plan is to have Ubuntu 8.04 root occupy a 50GB partition, the swap partition to be 5GB and the rest of it NTFS.
I follow all the steps described here:
Ubuntu - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki
the only difference is, that the rest of the space in the drive remains unallocated (to be formatted within Vista later).
After Ubuntu has been installed with GRUB on the ext3 root partition, I restart and go into Vista, as Linux is not yet visible to the system.
I start EasyBCD and attempt to add the Linux entry, but EasyBCD does not even see the drive! (it sees the other external NTFS drive all right, so I assume it has nothing to do with the fact that it is external). The drive is visible within Windows Disk Management.
What can you advise?
Thank you.
