Hello everyone,
I have just discovered EasyBCD, and I have joined on to your forum now.
I have installed Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) build 7100 as a first partition. From within Windows itself, I resized its own partition, leaving about 100 gb of free space for an Ubuntu 9.04 install.
Also, from within the Windows 7 disk management utility, I assigned a letter designation to the Windows 7 swap, making it the ':b' drive, and the primary Windows 7 partition is the ':c' drive. This is to allow EasyBCD to properly recognize all partitions.
I booted up the Ubuntu live image, and installed successfully the Ubuntu in the free space. I verified to install GRUB, in the advanced settings, in the Ubuntu partition, so as to not eliminate access to Windows.
I can boot in to Windows 7 with no difficulty, however I am unable to boot to Ubuntu. After several attempts, I have had no success. Please help kindly. Below is my partition table, copied from GParted, in the Ubuntu installer:
unallocated 1 mb
/dev/sda/1 ntfs system reserved 100 mb
/dev/sda2 ntfs 121 gb
unallocated 5.48 mb
/dev/sda3 extended 111.77 gb
/dev/sda5 ext3 107.19 gb
/dev/sda6 linux-swap 4.59 gb
