    After 10.04 Upgrade Can't boot into Vista or Recovery Hard Drive

    I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. Now when I try to select either windows vista or the recovery hard drive from the grub menu, then I get a blinking cursor and it does not boot. It is essential for me to dual boot and I don't have a clue how to fix this.

    I think it is a grub error but I don't know anything about grub. Hopefully someone will know.

    HI

    Known issue with grub not updating at proper time

    Run code in terminal.
    Code:
    sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
    sudo update-grub
    restart
