    Hello everyone,
    So I finally got my computer to install Linux. Finally.

    Now, I need to be able to log into my other two operating systems. I've got 4 primary partitions in this order, can anyone give me the code I need to paste into my menu.lst file?

    Here is the order of OS's and their partitions:

    (hd0, 0) - Recovery Partition
    (hd0,1) - Windows 7
    (hd0,2) - Windows Vista
    (hd0,3) - Ubuntu 8.10

    Thanks for all your help!

    Ubuntu should have autodetected everything for you. Some of the info can be hard drive specific. It'd be pretty hard to give you much without your computer around.
