Installing 64-bit ubuntu with windows 7 - having bcd errors

[bsm1th]

Like a fool, I deleted the BCD entry for ubuntu before uninstalling. Now I am trying to do a reinstall, but now can do nothing. Can anyone tell me what the name shown on the boot menu for Ubuntu 10.04 for the 64 bit alpha is? I am trying to put the entry back with EasyBCD, but the sum is off by a bit with 'Ubuntu-10.04 64amd', so I am close, but not there. Please help.

This a wubi install, correct? You should be able to completely remove the install using Programs in the control panel.

In Programs, it shows up as Ubuntu, and the uninstall fails because the script tries to remove the BCD entry as part of the uninstall. That's why I wanted to make an entry with the same name, even if it didn't go anywhere..

I found with a new install that Windows needed to be installed first in its own artition as it takes over control of the HDDs and boot sector. Ubuntu loads over the top of Windows and allows the menu to choose from Ubuntu or Windows.

Then go to the EasyBCD support forum at the NeoSmart Technology forums. It's their product; they are the ones that know how it works.
