You probably can do this through your bios settings.BPMOU wrote:I tried setting my pc up so it boots directly into the linux drive, but could not figure it out.
I don't believe it would overwrite your MBR seeing how it's on a seperate HD, but I'm not 100% so if you're not comfortable use the same method (disconnect) as you did before.BPMOU wrote:When I installed Ubuntu I disconnected the drive with Vista on it as I didn't want Grub messing up my MBR.
The statement in incorrect,your SWAP is on an extended partition which could be what should have been said.BPMOU wrote:What does this mean " Your fdsik -l output shows your swap partition is being shared if I am reading it correctly."?
It should detect your vista drive.BPMOU wrote:Should I change something? I want Linux and Vista to be on seperate drives, but want to be able to access my documents that are on the Vista drive.
