creating partition for ubuntu on vista machine

[salakhate]

I crated unallocated space on vista disk using EASEUS partitioning software and installed ubuntu on it. I chose "use the largest free space" for ubuntu installation. Installation goes fine but only vista loads on restart...where is the installed ubuntu?

Thanks in advance for any help!

It should have installed grub to the MBR of your drive. This was not a wubi install was it?

Without much info to go on, I would suggest a reinstall. It is obvious that grub2 was not installed to the MBR. What is not obvious is why.

I would suggest a reinstall and to slow down and make sure that you choose the correct options. Also, if you have data on the system you do not wish to lose, I would suggest backing it up before you continue. :)

Alternatively you could just re-install grub2 again as well, just check the wiki:

Scroll down to "Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD"

Best of luck : )
