I installed 12.04 LTS on my computer that already had Vista 64 Ultimate. Installation said that reboot was necesarry to use the new installation. Well, it just boots right into vista without giving me a boot option for ubuntu. Any help would be much appreciated.



I've installed and used ubuntu in the past, but I still consider myself a newbie.

You can try to repair GRUB.




  1. To do this, boot from any Live CD and open a terminal.

  2. Mount the partition with your installed Ubuntu by entering



    sudo mount /dev/sda? /mnt


    Important: replace the '?' with the partition where you installed Ubuntu!
    If you don't know which partition this is, open gparted and look for it.


  3. Include the directory with important device information



    sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev 


    and /sys



    sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys 


    and the interface data



    sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc 

  4. Now change into the mounted system:



    sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash

  5. Then you can install GRUB by typing



    grub-install /dev/sda


    and



    update-grub


    If you get Errors with the last step, just mention it in a comment.


  6. Exit the terminal with exit.




Hope this is helpful for you.
