vista bootloader problems

[mab1376]

i just install Ubuntu over my vista partition but for some reason the vista boot loader is overriding grub since it was put onto my XP partition, how do i remove it?

this once happened to me, i am pretty sure Vista does not want you to use Linux, as Vista bootloader always seems to over ride GRUB, i couldn't find out how to do it, so had to reformat my entire hard disk.

I've explained this so many times...

Basically if you use Vista and Linux, you are stuck with the Vista bootloader. It's only a bootloader. I had XP, Vista and Linux all running out of the Vista bootloader with no issues.

A Bootloader is nothing more than a tiny bit of software that allows you to choose which set of commands/OS to launch.

You want to use Ubuntu and Vista, you've gotta use the Vista bootloader.

i know it possible I've done it before i just don't know the command in the registry console since fixboot doesn't do it.
