Hi.
My dislike for all things windows brings me back to trying ubuntu every now and then. I decided to install 11.1o according to this guide
http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/22/how-to-dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-11-04/
I set up
sda5 the /boot
sda6 the swap
sda7 the/
sda8 the /home partitions.
The install goes belly up when it wont install grub into sda5.
i am on my 5th reinstall and I havent the fogiest idea on how to get grub to install into sda5 which is a logical partition btw.
I know there is a force command for grub to install where you specify but my googling of the problem leads me to believe their is a prob with grub2.
So if i cant fix, i will stay with Mr gates masterpiece for a while again.
Many thanks to anyone that helps
