Okay. I must be one of these people that is asking too much but I was looking for a single screen boot loader that was easy to configure.
I have downloaded EasyBCD 1.52 and had it working with XP and Vista no problem and added Fedora Core 6 without too much of a glitch using Neosmart's instructions. However, I have now tried to install Xubuntu with Grub on the bootsector, obviously not the MBR. I added the correct partition on ADD ENTRY with Grub option selected.
The result is bootable Windows and now both the Fedora and Xubuntu installations hang on a blank screen with a flashing cursor. My previous attempt at this (from a backup thank god) involved reinstalling Grub to the bootsectors of my Linux installations which resulted in the \NST\nst-grub.mbr missing error which apparently is corrected in Version 1.6........ which is where?
It seems that you can only have one version of Linux installed at a time but this is going to be a problem as the end result I need is Windows, Fedora, Slackware, Xubuntu and FreeBSD booting from one screen.
Has any body managed to solve this problem withou having to reinstall Linux all over again?
Many thanks.
