Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
I recently switched from Wubi Ubuntu to a dedicated partition for Lynx
10.04 LTS. I am now unable to boot to Windows Vista (which I have to do
because of some programs Yuk!). When I choose Vista, the computer
simply reboots. I have found that this is because Grub detects Vista at
hd 0,1. If I edit the command line manually each time I choose Vista so
that it points to hd 0,0, Vista boots fine. The hd 0,2 is the recovery
drive for Vista, and also reboots the computer. How do I get the hd
designation of 0,0 instead of 0,1 to stay in the grub.cfg so that I do
not have to edit it every time? I did try to find this issue before I
opened this bug, but I wasn't able to find this one. I do see other
issues that are similar, yet they are not the same. I am still a
relatively new Ubuntu user, and would appreciate any help you can me. I
am concerned that if other newbies are having this issue, they will
think that Windows is gone, when in fact it is still there and perfectly
intact. Thank you.
