Chuck ... my experiences with Vista/Win7 are as follows: having installed W*, BootManager is inaccessible. Well, we are used to that, but neither Vista nor W7 have any means of resetting the BM partition as active. So went back to the eCS install disk and reinstalled BM. Now W* won't load from the BM screen. Seems that after years of provocation, BM has finally got it's revenge. Replaced BM with BootIt, and both W* and eCS load properly. Then installed Ubuntu and, voila, all three systems are bootable. Hooray. But someone has clobbered the partition table and although eCS is happy to boot and run, the install CD does not recognise the layout any more and thus won't allow a re-installation (as is now needed). So I have to clean the hard disk (again) and reinstall everything from scratch (again!) but this time I shall use DFSee to monitor the partition table at every stage.

It walked on Boot Manager, Windows XP, and my WinXP recovery partition. It did boot. I then selected the other windows partition off of the Windows 7 boot screen (this is not really a boot manager, it is more like GRUB with dementia) and found that WinXP was gone.

Rescue managed to clobber the entire drive and all of the partitions when it started. Back to DFSee. I did recover Ubuntu and my eCS partitions. Used DFSee again to send Windows 7 to where the sun doesn't shine. Still trying to get Windows XP back on the system without damaging anything else. Right now I am imaging WinXP and a recovery partition off of an old laptop drive and will try to put them back (the recovery partition is imaged and the WinXP image says it has about 8 hours to go). > >> >> Oh, yes, go for the 64-bit versions of Ubuntu, and don't bother with >> anything earlier than 9.04!
