Adding Linux to the Vista Bootloader | |
|

One of the most features that EasyBCD brings to the table is full-blown support for Linux, BSD, Solaris, and more starting from version 1.5, putting it a league above the competition. Most importantly, EasyBCD offers several different ways to get these operating systems working with Vista, just in case one or more fail to work out the way you want them to. Chainloading is a dual-boot term that refers to one bootloader handing off the boot process to another. In this case, we configure the Vista bootloader to ask either Grub or Lilo (the most common Linux bootloaders) to complete the boot process for us - minimizing configuration requirements and ensuring maximum compatibility. |

| Just in case, download Acronis True Image 10 if you don't already have it installed, and make a full image onto an external HDD before loading Ubuntu 7.04. Things can go wrong when removing Ubuntu, if you aren't happy with its performance. Vista's MBR can't be repaired as quickly and easily as XP's could. You may need to keep GRUB after removing Ubuntu 7.04, which is not a bad thing. |

Vista's MBR is EXTREMELY simple to repair.
You pop in your install DVD, click repair, and it has all kinds of stuff to do. |
