Hi

I have windows 7 installed on Disk2 (according to windows Disk Manager), and I installed ubuntu 10.10 on Disk0, choosing the dual boot option at installation.

However, grub does not load (presumably because its on disk0 and my machine appears to boot from disk3), so the machine goes straight into windows 7.

How do I get ubuntu to load?

into the bios, set your hdd where ubuntu is installed to "first choice" to boot as you have several hdds

boot on ubuntu then :

sudo grub-mkconfig
sudo update-grub
