Thread: Problems with Boot in multiboot
i having issue caused myself. had win 7 , decided install ubuntu. set dual boot , well. had win7 system worked well, , ubuntu system set way wanted.
then, had wild hair. decided wanted winxp system run older programs won't work in win7. followed steps found set win 7 , winxp. in instructions, had me load , configure easybcd; claims can set linux boot.
so, have win 7 , win xp dual boot; can't seem figure out how ubuntu listed , boot. did try use neogrub, configuration must incorrect. installed ubuntu second hard drive, , second partion. ext3 partition. third partition linux swap. when configured neogrub boot hd1,1, says isn't bootable disk.
appreciated.

it helpful see status of boot files. can done downloading/extracting , running boot info script , posting contents of file generates: results.txt.
boot livecd, click on bis link in signature line or go http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net download script , instructions.
if windows bootloader on first drive, can install grub2 on second drive (not partition). may pick windows, if not change bios boot second drive first ubuntu (until things set correctly). can tell how if wish, leaving sda (windows) untouched.
