How to install Linux boot loader to dual-boot Ubuntu 7.0.4 and Vista Ultimate

Asked by Number5ix in Linux, Linux Setup, Ubuntu

Tags: ubuntu, boot, loader, install

Hi,

I've just installed Ubuntu 7.0.4 onto my PC - it was (and still is) running Vista Ultimate.   The installation seemed to work fine and the machine works but automatically boots into Vista upon restart.

The Ubuntu installation was done to a separate drive from Vista to keep everything separate.

I know that I need to install some sort of boot loader so that I can choose which OS to boot into when the machine is powered on but I'm not sure which one to use or how to install one.   GRUB?   LILO?   I can boot into Ubuntu from the Live CD - can the boot loader be installed from there so that I don't lose my Vista stuff?

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
