Multi Boot Problem With Kubuntu 8.04 and VIsta Home Premium
I recently updated from Ubuntu 7.10 to Kubuntu 8.04 but Now I can't boot My Hard drive with Vista on it. I can boot Kubuntu fine but When I use the Grub boot loader and choose Vista as a choice it comes up with an error message. I think it was because I had 7.10 installed inside of windows and it changed the BCD registry. Not sure and would appreciate the help!

Show us your outputs of

(1) /boot/grub/menu.lst

(2) /home/any.txt from terminal command
Code:
sudo  fdisk -l > /home/any.txt

I actually had a friend from microsoft look at it and he said that I also had alot of system files missing so in the end I had to re-install vista, but thanks for the help!
