Hello,

I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a HHD that contains XP and now Ubuntu but I also have a HHD with Vista on it. The Vista HHD had the bootloader for when I just had XP and Vista. When Grub comes up and I select Vista nothing happens, the screen just says, "Starting up...."

Here is my fdisk. Sda has Vista and a backup partition, sdb has XP and Ubuntu, sdc my media disk and sdd is another back up disk. Thanks.
