hi newbie here, i installed ubuntu 12.04 with live cd side by side with vista(original os) restarted after succsessful instalation and now my machine only boots ubuntu, can anyone help?

Try in the ubuntu terminal running.

sudo update-grub

Look for vista to show in the terminal, if it does it is in the boot menu.

Use this tool in ubuntu to generate the bootinfo summary and post the http to it.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

The first gui you will see when it launches gives you this option, just start with that.

Post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file here, in-between CODE tags.
