Bug Description
Ok, I installed Ubuntu 7.04 i386. After some problems and lots of searching I found that my drive needed to be manually set. Once done grub comes up and Ubuntu boots fine. My problem is that I can't get into windows. I get the error "ntldr missing or corrupted". I have a feeling that grub menu.lst is just not pointing to the right drive, I am including the output of that file and also /etc/fstab. I have Ubuntu installed on hda and Windows installed on sda. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
If you need more information, please let me know.
Steve
