Double Start of VISTA and UBUNTU

VISTA and UBUNTU dual-start-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. I. The hard disk is brand new. XP is installed first, and Ubuntu is installed. Now grub is taken for the boot, and then enter DOS, type fdisk/mbr, and hand the boot to XP, modify boot. ini points to the grub4dos of drive C, and then the/boot/grub/menu of Ubuntu. copy the lst to C: \, so that the Windows XP and Ubuntu dual-boot (ntldr directs grub4dos, and grub4dos directs Ubuntu) is not difficult. In the following example, bootmgr of Vista guides grub of Ubuntu.

First, enter WinPE, format drive C, and install Vista to drive C. After the restart, you can only access Vista without the Ubuntu option. Now download the EasyBCD software, as of today, the latest version is 1.7.1, (http://neosmart.net/dl.php? Id = 1 ). Install and run in Vista. Select "Add/Remove Entries". In the "Add an Entries" panel below, select the "Linux" tab. The Type is Grub and the Name is casual, drive select the/partition for Linux installation, select the "GRUB isn't installed to the bootsector" check box, and click "Add Entries. After restarting, the dual-boot menu of Vista and Ubuntu appears. Select Ubuntu and go to Grub. You will understand the following.

II. I believe that all boot. ini from XP will guide linux, but vista no longer uses ntldr, so there are some changes

1. Export the grub boot sector file.

In linux

Dd if =/dev/sda3 of =/dev/sda6/linuxloader/ubuntu. lnx bs = 512 count = 1

(My GRUB is installed on sda3)

/Dev/sda indicates the disk from sata

Ide hard disk, with/dev/hda. Depending on the location where the grub boot log is installed

(This is the same as ntldr with XP)

2. In vista,

Run cmd with the Administrator permission, and then

Bcdedit/create/d "Ubuntu 7.04"/application bootsector

Create a startup Item named "Ubuntu 7.04" by loading the Boot Sector file type

After execution, a {GUID} will be returned. The following command uses this {GUID}

Bcdedit/set {GUID} device partition = E:

Set the partition where the Boot Sector file is located (that is, the partition where ubuntu. lnx is located)

Bcdedit/set {GUID} path \ linuxloader \ ubuntu. lnx

Specify the path and file name of the boot sector file (backslash \, indicating the root directory)

Bcdedit/displayorder {GUID}/addlast

Add the Ubuntu menu item to the end

Restart your vista.
