EDIT: Solved.
Can anybody help me get Grub2 (Ubuntu 9.10) to show my Windows 7 partition so I can boot that? Also, most of the time during boot i just see "GRUB LOADING" and no list of options to choose for booting whatsoever-- making it impossible to even have a choice to boot into Windows, if I can ever get Windows to show up in the Grub listing.
I have a PC, had sda and sdb sata drives, Win7 on sda on first partition. I just installed Ubuntu to an IDE (ATA) drive that I added in order to get it to install. I told ubuntu to put grub on the IDE drive, which it did. Then I changed my BIOS boot order to boot the IDE drive first, so GRUB would show up, which it does.
But I have no option at this point to boot back into my Win7, short of going to the BIOS and having it boot sda again as the first drive. I need to get grub to boot Win7.
Geez. I used to know GRUB pretty good, now apparently it is GRUB2, everything has changed, I can't just go into a text file and change grub like I used to.
Maybe Windows AND Ubuntu should quit messing with things so much! Give us users time to just fricken use and enjoy the OS.
