I've done a dual and triple boot before with vista/xp and ubuntu but im having some problems this time around. Here's what happened:
First i installed Vista on my 1st hard drive (74GB all to Vista)
then i installed OS X on its on hard drive (200GB all to OSX)
from there when i restarted it just went into Vista which is what i half expected because i figured that once i installed Linux everything would be fixed because Grub would see 3 OSes and put them in there. At worst i was expecting Linux to install grub and to only detect Vista and Ubuntu.
I then installed Ubuntu to my 3rd hard drive. Its 500GB and had a 300GB partition dedicated to storage already. So i installed ubuntu on a 80GB partition and made a swap partition of 8GB. leaving the rest of the disk unused in case i want to try anything out.
I then restarted and to my surprise it went right into vista. I tried changing boot order of my hard drives and moved the 500GB one first and that did nothing. I booted from my live cd and went into grub and like i thought it shows ubuntu and Vista in there (so even if i get this worked out ill have to add OS X). Do i have to move grub to a different location on the hard drive? I dont know what else to do to make it boot from the grub manager, I've done this before on this computer but havent came across this prob before.
HELP!!!!! lol
