Hi all,
I've just tried to turn my Vista machine into a dual boot Ubuntu (7.10) machine, and have failed miserably - I now have an unbootable machine.
During the installation I turned off the option to install GRUB automatically, hoping to use the Vista bootloader instead. That didn't work, as apparently the installation messed with the Windows bootloader anyway, and I now get a "No Operating System Found" message. I made sure my files are still intact by mouting the Vista partition from my live CD, but can't seem to get grub to install, as I have no boot parition (apparently).
What is the simplest way to get grub up and running, so I can boot into either OS?
Thanks
- Dean
