Hello, could anyone help me with this booting problem. I bought a laptop with Vista preinstalle (rather which installs on first power on). Foolishly i made some free space from C: drive and installed XP (into F:) to see if it works. Now by default it boots XP. So I thought it may be a MBR problem so I installed Linux (xubuntu) in the last available free space. i thought grub will recognize the partitions..and I can boot Vista. Now I do get two entries for Vista on the start menu, with one of them which boots XP and the other entry causes the recovery partition to be invoked..! Now I wonder what exactly happened when I installed XP ? Any way to reboot Vista without reinstallation..? In Vista I had used EasyBCD to configure the boot loader entries. EasyBCD gui does not work on XP, but the command line executable on XP stll shows the entries show that the bcd entries are present. C: (Vista partition is still the bootable partition).
