Bug Description

After downloading and installing tribe5 the GRUB Bootloader fails to offer the choice of either the windows or ubuntu partition. It does partition the drive. The program goes directly into ubuntu even though the disk is partitioned with a Windows partition and a ubuntu partition. When restarting from ubuntu no windows partition is offered. It says for GRUB press ESCAPE key. During the install tribe5 did not check for other OS's.

After downloading and installing tribe5 the GRUB Bootloader fails to offer the choice of either the windows or ubuntu partition. The words “Other Operating Systems” show up for about 3 seconds, but Other Operating Systems are not identified and the GRUB Bootloader goes into a rapid install of Ubuntu only. It does partition the drive. The program goes directly into ubuntu even though the disk is partitioned with a Windows partition and a ubuntu partition. When restarting from ubuntu no windows partition is offered. It says for GRUB press ESCAPE key. After pressing ESCAPE only Ubuntu is offered as the only Operating System. During the install tribe5 did not identify other OS's nor does it offer to include them.

I second this. Alernate install of Gutsy tribe 5 ignores previous windows installation and does not configure the menu for this.

Starting in tribe5 the Ubuntu GRUB Bootloader fails to offer the option of using Windows

After downloading and installing tribe5 the GRUB Bootloader fails to offer the choice of mounting the windows partition or the ubuntu partition. It appears Ubuntu is intending to be the only OS available. The words “Other Operating Systems” show up for about 3 seconds, but Other Operating Systems are not identified and the GRUB Bootloader goes on to install Ubuntu only. During the install of tribe5, the GRUB bootloader did not identify other OS's nor does it offer to include them. The Ubuntu installer does partition the drive and if necessary retains the Windows partition but makes it unreachable. The program goes directly into Ubuntu even though the disk can be partitioned with a Windows partition and a Ubuntu partition. When restarting from Ubuntu no way into the windows partition is offered. It says for GRUB press ESCAPE key. After pressing ESCAPE the only Operating System offered by GRUB is Ubuntu.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
