Vista/Ubuntu Dual Booting Help

So I already have Vista-XP and Ubuntu installed. For now GRUB loads by default.

So what I want is to make Vista's Bootloader the default Boot Manager which gives me 3 Options ::: Vista , Previous OS and Ubuntu.

I've heard its simple with BCDEdit.

So can anyone gimme a step by step procedure to do that ?

u would first need to restore the vista boot manager

to do this u need vista bootable dvd

boot the dvd n find the option to repair boot

this will restore vista boot manager

now only vista will be bootable

in vista now u can use bcdedit or easybcd to create entries for xp , ubuntu

^^^ Even m facing the same prob...

u can start with the first step of restoring the vista boot manager

it is quite straight forward

take a look at this for adding entries using easy bcd

I still need a Step by Step Procedure like a Tutorial for N00bs

Anyone out there who can do that ?

Thanks but I already had Googled

The above guide too concludes with :

If instead of GRUB you want Vista's bootloader to be in charge, load up the Vista installation and install EasyBCD. Go to “Manage Bootloader”, then “Reinstall the Vista Bootloader”, an GRUB is overwritten. You can then configure the Vista bootloader to add Linux to the boot menu.

See I want Step by Step instructions on how to do that ^^ !

^u need to overwrite grub.with M$ rescue cd fix MBR.then try
