Thread: Dual boot

-

i installed ubuntu on older vista dell computer (amd) partitioned 3 logical drives , 1 additional physical drive (1) defunct machine storage use only. created 26 g empty area on primary drive (0) ubuntu install. things went except although chose “alongside” dual boot menu never appeared , machine boots ubuntu time. c: partition vista os ok , can access ubuntu , move files no problems. want dual boot feature on network machine configured vista cohabit 5 other machines. have trouble configuring ubuntu network 2 unrelated reasons.
actually, want able boot c: drive in vista , despite growing admiration ubuntu, still want able revert (on machine) windows.
question how go getting dual boot feature without putting successful ubuntu installation @ risk. i've done lots of tweaking on , hate lose it. suspect might have happened ??? ubuntu install selected (1) drive dual boot instead of (0) drive. being old (really old) computer tech have sad history of messing master boot records , hate again. besides, understand hardware , leave software smarter fellows.
had reinstalled after removing (1) drive avoid confusing install wizard.

looks bootloader misconfigured.
in similar situation, ran
code:
sudo update-grub
, found windows loader , added boot menu.
