So I partitioned my hard drive, allocating 15 GB. Burned the package onto a CD and loaded the OS.

I partiontioned the free space with a swap section of 1.5 GB..

Everything installed fine and then system had to restart in order for the installation to take full effect.

Here's the problem: I can't get to Ubuntu without changing the boot priority to SATA CD (as with the initial installation) and cancelling the installation once everything loads. This manner, understandably resest all changes that I've made within the Ubuntu scheme.

So here's what I need help on... I need to find a way so that I don't have to cancel the installation everytime I boot into Ubuntu. And accordingly, I need to find a way to effectively alter the boot configuration in order to dual boot smoothly.. I've also installed and tried to modifiy the boot order using easyBCD, with no success (trying GRUB and GRUB2).
