Hi all! This is my first post to these excellent forums.
My system has 2 1TB hard disks.
On the first I installed windows vista business 32 bit. Everything worked perfectly.
On the other I installed ubuntu 8.1 x86_64. This is where I installed grub as well.
On the grub menu I can boot ubuntu perfectly, but after the installation vista won't boot. Grub gives error 29.
Here's some info:
