Hi all,
Bit of a cheeky one, this.
I've just installed Ubuntu on my system which also has Mandriva 2006
(default) and Windows 2000. However, when I rebooted, GRUB initially
just stalled. I was able to fix this by running the Mandriva DVD's
rescue but when I got it back Ubuntu was not an option.
I'm guessing I have to create some sort of entry in menu.1st for GRUB to
be able to find it but I'm far from sure as to what this is supposed to
look like. I can mount the Ubuntu partition (hdb3) as /ub which enables
me to see it in Mandriva thought I suspect I'll have to change that to
get things running.
All suggestions welcome.
Graham

Ok, heres how you should dual boot:
First install windows 2000 (because that needs to be in the master sectors to boot properly when dualbooting)
Second, install mandriva. This gives mandriva a chance to look at the oses setup on the computer and prepare a list for its bootloader
Third, Install Ubuntu. Same with mandriva, it gives GRUB a chance to look at the oses setup on there.
If you install ubuntu be4 mandriva, then mandriva wont be responsible for preparing the list, ubuntu will. But with the order listed, mandriva will prepare the list. Windows 2000 doesnt see mandriva or ubuntu as oses, so you should definately install windows first, otherwise it will overwrite the boot sectors and you will loose grub
