Any help is appreciated!
I have posted elsewhere to no avail, but I will now try here:
I have an asus eee pc netbook without a cd drive. It came with xp, I added vista, no probs, the bootloader offered me vista or "an earlier version of windows" (xp), both worked.
I added ubuntu into a 3rd extended partitions (there was already a 4th which is either a boot partition or boot booster/optimizer or some such bios related enhancer). As in the screencap attached, the extended partition has a shared ntfs storage space, then the linux root partition, and finally a swap partition. This worked as well, and all was fine til I tried GAG loader, which did not let me use any OS. I reinstalled ubuntu and eliminated GAG in the process.
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5)
I think this means I installed grub in the root partition, though I thought it was the first partition. Is there a way to check? I may have mixed things up on the 2nd install.
On start up now, grub offers me the linux kernals which work, and vista which offers me the sub choices xp & vista. But when I select those I get either a
/netldr
or
/windows/system32/winload.exe
error codes 0xc000000e
From these forums I gather the file systems are not corrupt but that they are incorrectly pointed to.
Can I use BCD to fix things?
Can I get it to tri-boot?
Can I do this from linux (only accessible OS, though I have a live boot linux usb key as well) aas I have Wine installed?
Can I run BCD from a usb key on boot up?
Running a diagnostic script from these forums:
