Hi guys,
I have a laptop with Vista OS and I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 from a Live CD.
All worked fine but when I select VISTA (Loader), Vista begins to load, crashes and restarts the PC.
Cannot load in safe Mode, only option is to turn off PC.
How can I recover VISTA ???
To load Ubuntu I had resized my DATA partition and while booting I chose Automatic option.
Can someone guide me how to work around this problem.
Ubuntu works fine..
Thanks a lot

by default ubuntu loads the GRUB boot manager, so i doubt it is the windows boot.
@original poster:
when you installed ubuntu 9.04- did you:
a) partition the one HDD and install ubuntu on the split HDD
b) did you- when installing ubuntu- set the file system type to NTFS?
If you answered yes to a, and no to b- then there is your problem.
Windows uses NTFS as its primary partition system- and once you change that- windows is unable to load from a non- NTFS partition.
One HDD can not do 2 file systems simultaneously
