| 1276646 | 2012-05-22 05:11:00 | OK, I did the grub install thing, and added a new entry via EasyBCD. Now when I choose that option, I get a black screen, the word GRUB in the top left corner, plus a flashing cursor. Progress of a sort, I guess. :) Pcuser42, if I am reading the info correctly, the appropriate partition is actually the middle sized partition, of three unlabelled ones. On a formerly empty 250g drive, I now have 3 partitions, which windows shows as 12.01g, healthy,active,primary, 3.90g healthy, primary and 216.97g healthy,primary. I believe Linux is installed on the first one. |

| 1276649 | 2012-05-22 09:16:00 | I'm dead ignorant about Linux. How do I "install grub to the partition"? Your best way is doing it through Configure your computer/Boot/Set up Boot system. |
