hello fellow linux users
I just tried to install ubuntu 6.06 on my partners laptop to run with
its vista system.... but now no vista...
It may or may not still be there. Do you recall which hard drive
partition option you used at install-time? By default,
Ubuntu will create new space for itself by trimming off some of Windows' space.
If you stuck with that option, we may just need to configure GRUB properly to
boot Vista. Or did you choose the 'use entire disk space' option?..
when is the next gathering so maybe I could get help to redeem my self.

Happy to have a look with you to evaluate your repair options.
