Try to dual boot Seven/Ubuntu using EasyBCD?
I'm trying to set up a dual boot configuration with Windows 7 HP on one hard drive and Ubuntu 10.04LTS on another hard drive using the app EASYBCD.
I can select Windows 7 OK but when I select to boot Ubuntu I only get the following: Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No ang0 Any ideas? TIA.

Pam's link will explain how to set up a dual boot using the ubuntu bootloader, grub2. If you don't want to do that and you do want to use easybcd use the technique described in the Arch Linux wiki:
GRUB2 - ArchWiki The problem you are having is that ubuntu uses grub2 for its bootloader and easybcd only supports grub legacy, not grub2. The above link describes how to work around this impasse by chainloading grub2 with easybcd. You will need to know the grub2 designation for your ubuntu root partition which will be in the form (hdx,y) where x and y are integers and will vary depending on which hard drive and which partition on that hard drive you have ubuntu on. |

Thanks for the replies peeps.
I actually wanted to do it avoiding using Grub 2 which I hate. I have since found a solution (I think) which I am going to try soon... Ubuntu - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki |
