I just successfully clean installed uBuntu 8.10 on a new poartition along side my Vista (On the main partition).
Everything worked swell using the Grub Boot Menu from uBuntu (oh why did I change), but I decided to switch to the Vista Boot loader and followed the instructions at APC Mag http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_f irst.htm?page=4
I did everything they said:
I edited menu.lst file from within uBuntu and saved it as a backup.
Then went back into Vista and did everything they said using EasyBCD 1.72.
However, when I accessed my saved, edited menu.lst (txt) file, it was not formatted like in uBuntu, it was messy with no real formatting like in uBuntu.
I tried rebooting and the uBuntu menu item was there, then I went to the uBuntu menu, but had errors accessing files etc Error 17.
I tried finding copies of menu.lst and editing my copy so it had the same format, but still the same problem.
Here's my current menu.lst (text file) .... please see attached image. Can someone tell me where I have gone wrong please, so I can reboot into uBuntu please?
