recently, i decided i should have Windows on my PC, too.
i created a primary NTFS partition after my Ubuntu partitions, found my disk images of a working copy of Windows, and copied them there.
but...
i had been stupid enough to let Ubuntu write its boot loader to /dev/hd0, and now programs like Boot Magic and Boot Manager refuse to install there.
i've tried lilo, but liloconfig tells me (translated):
According to the configuration file /etc/fstab this program will use UUID=76c0118b-2346-41d7-988f-36773734f526 as a device for a root system. it doesn't look like a "usual" block device. Your fstab is wrong and you should correct it.
well, i dunno how :)
then i've tried grub, and executed grub-install /dev/sda/, but it didn't help me much: on boot, my PC just proceeds to Kubuntu splash screen.
i'm stuck and i hope someone will give me a hand.
