Hey everyone!
So I clean installed W7 earlier this week. I then tried to install Ubuntu 8.10 to a totally free space (40gb) on the same drive; my c: drive.
the Ubuntu install itself went off without a hitch! however...
whenever I boot my computer, grub/ubuntu are totally ignored and W7 boots right up.
if I try to use SuperGRUB to get to the OS list, I can get to grub BUT I get an error when I try to boot Ubuntu.
the W7 boot loader seems to totally ignore/not wish to list Ubuntu at all...
anyone think it has anything to do with the 200mb recovery partition that W7 seems to make on the c: drive?
help? =/
any and all input would be extremely appreciated.
cheers!
