Hello,
I have two physical SATA disks. One has Vista, the other Ubuntu. When I installed Vista, the disk it is installed to was the only disk in the machine. When I installed Ubuntu, the disk it is installed to was also the only disk in the machine. In other words I unplugged, from the SATA bus, the drive I did not intend to install to.
So now, depending on which hard disk I have connected to the SATA bus, I can boot either OS. I would like to use EasyBCD to manage it. When both disks are on the SATA bus, my current BIOS settings cause Vista to boot. I think I am heading in the right direction...
I have installed EasyBCD, and configured it. I can boot into Vista, but can't boot Ubuntu. When booting if I choose the Ubuntu menu selection, it begins to boot, then ends up telling me "can't boot from hard drive. Please insert system disk, press any key to continue."
Then I hit any key and Ubuntu comes right up! So I am very close, but don't know where my misconfiguration is. I would really like to be able to get the machine to reboot without any user input.
Thanks for your help, Joe
