Hello Mates
I had "vista" on a "RAID 10" and "Linux-Multiboot" on extra "HDD" in order to maintain the "windows" and "linux's" OS's separately.
Well, the separate Linux-HDD have a small primary (FAT 32) Grub-Partition (Vers. 1.99) from which I boot the four-five Linux's.
On all Linux's OS's is the 30_os-prober deactivated, so each Linux take care to boot self and not other OS's.
Apropos, Linux cannot read nighter the "RAID-10" (with Vista on it) nor the "Samsung HE753LJ" on which himself is installed.
To install Linux on "Samsung HE753LJ" I have to uninstall the "dmraid" & "libdmraid" packages from installations-mediun (a USB-Stick always).
I used Easy-BCD 2.1 or 2.1.2 to make the job. Afterward I upgrade to Easy-BCD 2.2 but don't touch the Boot-loader with it. All was perfect to me.
This week I reinstall Vista and use the newst Easy-BCD 2.2 to make the same as before, but don't work anymore as before.
Vista is booting but...
if I use the entry with "Grub 2" start only the first Linux-OS, if I use the entry with "Grub 1" pointing on the above mentioned small partition, appear only a cursor.
For the emergencies, I backup the old Boot-loaders create by older Easy-BCD versions on additional HDD and have a copy of small "Grub-partition" on SD-memory-card. Actually if I want boot an other Linux, I have to put the SD-card (with Grub 1.99) in the reader and let BIOS boot from them.
That is not a solution for us cause of the seven (7) HHD's ( four in RAID 10), two (2) DVD-drives, two (2) USB-Sticks & four (4) Card-readers listed in the BIOS-menu by pressing the "F8" key.
What is the best, cleanest, easiest method to re-establish the former status?
Thanks in advance and best regards.
