On my desktop I have two hard disks. 1st disk runs Vista, second Ubuntu desktop 8.10. I am trying to set up dual boot but with no luck. The only way to boot ubuntu is by changing the boot disk order from BIOS.
When I installed ubuntu for the first time I let it update it the mbr of the 1st hard drive and then I could not boot vista anymore. Anyway I restored the mbr so I am able to boot vista, but I need a more convenient way to boot ubuntu as well. The results below are useful in order to understand how my system is setup :

Anyway I restored the mbr so I am able to boot vista, but I need a more convenient way to boot ubuntu as well. The results below are useful in order to understand how my system is setup :

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=00f4a0b4-9d06-4d6c-9f0d-d7abbfbd137d ro
## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=00f4a0b4-9d06-4d6c-9f0d-d7abbfbd137d
## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true
## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false
## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash rootdelay=120
## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
## lockold=true
# lockold=false
## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=
## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0
## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all
## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false
## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
