Public bug reported:
I have 4 HDD's on my PC first I have to unplug the SATA drives and leave
the IDE ones on. Otherwise I never get a bootable HARDY or IBEX but that
not the main problem.
I have then two IDE Drives one master 500 GB partitioned and XP pro on one and
Vista Ultimate on the other.
On the second slave IDE HDD 80GB I have a 5GB SWAP and the rest is for Linux
hell why not.
I tehn modify the Vista BCD to include a pointer to Linux and I get a
nive menu with all the OS's and if I picked UBUNTU HARDY I got the boot
menu with the generic kernel, repair memetest and Vista longhorn and
other OS's That How I wanted my Machine to boot and it worked like a
charm.
Enter IBEX no longer able to boot into IBEX even having modified
pointers to same place I installed the GRUB to (not) MBR
I get to boot to IBEX if I make the salve drive the first drive to boot
from in Bios. But otherwise forget it.
Now someone is gonna say but you can USE GRUB to do the JOB
EWWWW ugly not N00b friendly if Im trying to convince my friends to
double triple boot and I dont wanna be sorting it out for them.
Grub editors In Linux are not that great either so GUI orientated on
this is not a viable workable solution, Using easyBCD dont work
either...
