yes hello, i attemped to dual boot ubuntu with vista, i had vista installed first i did everything right, i did disk partition correctly. i correctly installed Ubuntu and i even have the xx gb media file, with all my vista files. but vista fails to show up in the bootloader only ubuntu shows up? what is the fix to this?

try adding an entry to bottom of menu.lst like the example provided.

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst


title Windows Vista
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

this is assuming vista is the first partition. If there's a recovery/utility partition instead and vista is second, try 'root (hd0,1)'

If unsure, post your

sudo fdisk -l
