Kubuntu just installed, bunch of important questions

[stewartfan]

On my Gateway GT5658E with Phenom 9500, 3GB RAM, 1TB HDD (2x500), Radeon HD 2400XT, I have installed Kubuntu 9.10, and I want my windows bootloader back, and I know it's possible to have Kubuntu on it, I did it before. Should I reinstall windows 7? Once I get that finished, the questions will flow.

Using Super Grub Disk can restore a Windows Bootloader without reinstalling Windows. Not sure about Windows 7 but I know it works for Vista so it should work.

I know absolutely nothing about editing Windows Bootmanager to include KUbuntu 9.10 to its menu though.

For the next time, do not install GRUB in MBR else you have to re-install Windows Boot Loader again. Install GRUB in first sector of / ( or /boot, if any ) partition instead of MBR. Most of installer let you choose the location for GRUB Installation.

Ok, I figure out how to get into my windkws bootloader, but I have to choose the bottom choice in GRUB, and I would rather have my computer automatically boot to Vista when I turn it on, since Vista is my main OS

Will try reinstalling Seven, and report back when I'm finished.

There is no need to re-install Windows 7 for just changing Boot Order. There are a lot of tools available to do that.

ok, i tried easybcd, and i put the right partition, but upon selecting Kubuntu on startup, it asks me to insert disk and then reinstall, which changes nothing
