Ok, I am trying to setup a Vista-Ubuntu dual boot, but I am new to Ubuntu and linux in general and having no luck.
Vista is already on a SATA hard drive ( C: ) and I am trying to put Ubuntu on a spare IDE hard drive. The install process of Ubuntu seems to go fine, following the Ubuntu instructions on the wiki to change the grub install location, but when I add an entry using EasyBCD, Ubuntu won't boot from the Vista Bootloader. it just flashes a few screens and goes back to the Vista loader. Vista still works fine.
In case this helps - the Ubuntu install info:
Ubuntu installs to partition 1 of hda. My vista HD seems to come up as sda (I assume that's because its a SATA drive?) So I go to the advanced options at the end of the install and install grub at /dev/hda1, right? I have also tried hda0 just in case but that didn't work either.
Anyone see where I am going wrong?
