Thread: Wubi Windows 7 - No Ubuntu option in Grub?

-

hey all. i'm aware wubi doesn't install grub. normal windows 7 bootloader comes , given 2 options: windows 7 or ubuntu.

here's happened:

installed ubuntu 10.04 through wubi on laptop (not desktop has had 10.04 on before). haven't used wubi before, anyway... after installed rebooted , selected ubuntu. ubuntu loaded whatever had in order prepare system , went reboot.

after system rebooted selected "ubuntu" again. of course setup ubuntu done didn't go that. instead i'm presented grub menu. options "windows vista" , "windows 7" (vista being recovery install came laptop, , upgraded windows 7).

there's 3 partitions (excluding ubuntu if wubi makes partitions): 1. vista recovery 2. windows 7 (~150 gb) 3. media/whatever partition (~150 gb)

why's there no ubuntu option there?! don't know how add ubuntu grub sees - because wubi create partition... or how work? should work default.

(yeah know there's lot of topics have similar titles, issues different - such haven't pieced together. adding windows grub lot easier other way around , adding ubuntu grub. >_>)

this kind of weird... since grub menu seeing comes root.disk installed wubi (no partition, virtual disk), yet doesn't have ubuntu, windows.

i'd try reinstalling - no idea why happened, or if happen again.
