Dual-booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
in [64 Bits Windows]
|
From: Rajesh Shenoy on 6 Nov 2009 22:03 Hello: Does anyone know how to add Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala (which I've installed into a logical partition of its own on the only HDD I have in my laptop) to my Windows 7 Boot Manager? I over-wrote the GRUB boot manager that Ubuntu installed with the Windows 7 Boot Manager using EasyBCD as it was a beta version of GRUB. I tried to add Ubuntu using EasyBCD, but it doesn't work (probably because Ubuntu comes with the new GRUB2). I get the error message "The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt" when I select the Ubuntu entry in the Windows Boot Manager screen. Please see below the current output of my BCDEdit.exe, after the attempt to add the Ubuntu entry using EasyBCD. I have spent hours wading through Ubuntu forums online, but haven't found anything that's helped. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply, Kerry. Perhaps I had not made my intention clear in my original post - I don't want to keep GRUB in my MBR. I feel safer with Windows Boot Manager in charge of my MBR, and that is why I blew GRUB out - deliberately - in the first place. Now, I just want to know how I can add the just-released Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala to the Windows Boot Manager's list (preferably using BCDEdit.exe). EasyBCD can't do it for this new Ubuntu release, as it's not compatible. There is a beta version of EasyBCD which is supposed to handle this, but I'm loathe to trying beta versions especially for such an important task. So, do you know how I can add the entry (specifically, the newly released Ubuntu 9.10, and NOT the old Ubuntu versions which I know how to add) to my Windows Boot Manager?
