I installed the latest version of Ubuntu installation all went 'fine', up until i rebooted. When i was asked to take the cd out of the drive, then press enter, i did. PC restarted then it just loaded vista, no boot loader, no grub, nothing.
Every time i restart or turn the pc on it doesn't give me an option to load ubuntu.

Can anyone help me out please :(

Have you tried using "Super GRUB Disk" (http://www.supergrubdisk.org/) it always bails me out. First thing I go with when this kind of thing happens. What I am finding interesting though is that it loaded Vista. Usually when I hear this it would load into Ubuntu and not allow you to load into Vista.

+1. Super GRUB Disk is easy to use.

I have tried the supergrub disk and it seems unsucessful.
I can either get it so that grub is the bootloader and gives me the option to boot ubuntu and vista... however when i choose the vista option it says that there is no master boot record and i have to press ctrl+alt+del to restart.

I am able to access ubuntu but not vista in that state.

Can anyone help?

Thanks so far guys/girls

choose the vista option it says that there is no master boot record

If you choose !Windows! at the first menu, does Vista boot ok?
