Here is the setup I have:
sda1:recovery---sda2:vista
sdb1:extra storage---sdb2:windows 7---sdb3/5/6:ubuntu
On bootup I have the 3 choices for ubuntu, then under other I have 2 options for vista, the first goes to recovery, second to windows boot menu where I can choose vista or windows 7.
I want to know if it is possible to eliminate windows boot menu and get windows 7 and vista directly on the grub menu instead. Here is my boot info:
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================
=> Grub0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on boot drive #2 in
partition #5 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.
=> Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb
