Hello I am having trouble setting up a dual boot for my system. I have two hard drives, both IDE. One is drive(0) and the other is drive(1) I have XP installed on the 0 hard drive and Ubuntu 9.10 on the 1 hard drive. What do i have to edit in the BOOT.ini file to be able to select the Ubuntu hard drive?? heres a sample of my BOOT.ini file: [boot loader] timeout=8 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)/* WHAT DO I ADD HERE??" */ Thanks.

Well it's not that easy...you need to hand NTLDR off to GRUB to handle the linux boot, need to follow all the steps here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.... The boot.ini stuff is at the END - but won't work right until you've installed grub, saved the MBR, and then restored NTLDR...it looks like kind of a pain... If you're not realy attached to NTLDR - then just use Grub, it can handle a linux/windows dual-boot no problem. Easiest way is to just install Ubuntu after installing Windows - it'll figure out the boot loader on it's own. If you don't want to reinstall, you can boot up off the Ubuntu CD and use grub-install, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....
