Hey everyone,
I really hope someone can help me. I've decided to give Ubuntu a try and dual boot along side Vista. I thought the process would be fairly painless, but I've been struggling for a few weeks now.
Tried various methods mentioned in forums across the web, but all of them fail to boot ubuntu.
Here's the menu.lst file from Ubuntu:
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
uuid ec236469-ceaf-45a6-beb1-c6d96320cdfa
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=ec236469-ceaf-45a6-beb1-c6d96320cdfa ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
quiet
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode)
uuid ec236469-ceaf-45a6-beb1-c6d96320cdfa
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=ec236469-ceaf-45a6-beb1-c6d96320cdfa ro single

title Ubuntu 8.10, memtest86+

kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet
and now fdisk:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60563 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16128 * 512 = 8257536 bytes

/dev/sdc5 13996 14593 4803403+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
and here's EasyBCD:
There are a total of 2 entries listed in the Vista Bootloader.
Bootloader Timeout: 30 seconds.
Default OS: Windows Vista (TM) Ultimate
Entry #1
Name: Windows Vista (TM) Ultimate
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows
Entry #2
Name: Ubuntu
BCD ID: {ab93ff91-a8d0-11dd-9e48-bad83c08113f}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \NST\NeoGrub.mbr
Currently, when I reboot and select Ubuntu, I get a Windows Boot Manager error with \nst\neogrub.mbr error.
any help would be appreciated!
