I have been running Win7 and Ubuntu 10.4 for some time with Windows boot loader handling the job. Windows is on the bootable disk in volume /dev/sdb1 and Ubuntu resides on a non-bootable disk in volume /dev/sda1. Easy BCD set me up to do this and all was well. I recently upgraded the Ubuntu to 12.4 then 12.10 and it booted fine as before but I wanted to change the label on the options page to match the current version of Ubuntu. I used Easy BCD to delete the old Linux "Ubuntu 10.4" option and just added a new Ubuntu option with the Grub2 setting that I renamed to "Ubuntu 12.10". When I clicked the Windows option on boot up, everything was fine. When I clicked the Ubuntu option, I got the grub> prompt. Knowing this was not correct, I just selected reboot and selected Windors 7 and it booted there with no problem I fired up Easy BCD again and here are the settings shown:

I checked in the \NST\ directory and Autoneogrub0.mbr resides there.
How do I get the Ubuntu option to send me to the normal startup?
