In one of the boot loader faqs I read, someone made mention of Ubuntu's boot loader. Am I right in assuming that Ubuntu uses grub? Is there another forum for boot loaders?</font></font><br>

Subject: boot loader not installed<br>

<font color="black" face="arial" size="2"><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I tried to install ubuntu 9.10 beta. It completes the install but does not install grub. I boot with other boot cds or with easy bcd and these can find grub no where. Why would ubuntu think it made a proper install without a boot loader?<br>
I have tried installing it 5 times on different drives and different partition schemes with the same result. <br>
<br>
I want a dual boot config. I have Windows Vista on a 500GB drive (hd0)<br>
300GB NTFS (hd1)<br>
300GB Nvidia SW RAID w/ 3x WD Raptor 150 (hd2)<br>
<br>
Tried installing on hd2 3 times. Finally read pages with information leading every which way.<br>
Tried hd0 twice. hd0 has 160G Vista partition. I set up a 40G /home, 12G swp, 4G /tmp, and 80G / (sda8)<br>
<br>
All attempts to boot this config after install have failed. The Vista boot loader remains intact.<br>
I tried NeoGrub and the Super grub Boot cd. No grub install found anywhere.<br>
<br>
Last question: Is there a way to boot to a command prompt with the live cd for repairs? The live cd gnome terminal is practically blind-mute.<br>
