I have a dualboot computer with Windows Vista (on hd0) and Ubuntu 9.10. The bootloader is GRUB and the windows bootloader lets me decide between Vista and Ubuntu-Installation (broken WuBi). But now (i don'
t know why that changed) I can'
t use start the windows-bootloader anymore. I tried "ls" on the grub-prompt and it gave me a list like:
(hd0) (hd1) (hd1,0) (hd1,1) (hd1,2) ... (fd0)
It recognizes all partitions of hd1 (the ubuntu-harddisk) but not of hd0(the win-disk). .. WHY?
Here is the result of the "boot info script" for the technical details:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
