    Why I can't use GRUB and need a Vista BCD solution to booting...

    I have recently really taken to Ubuntu, so I decided to drop the LiveCD act and just dualboot Vista and Ubuntu. I initially tried to do this with GRUB. However, something was amiss.

    Vista, if not the BOOT partition, will not hibernate. As soon as I change the flags to make my Vista partition the boot one, everything works great. Thing is, I use hibernate a LOT, so I really need a way to do this.

    I tried EasyBCD, but when I choose Ubuntu, I get a File missing: /NST/mst_grub.mbr everytime, even though GRUB is installed to my Ubuntu partition header. nothing works, and all links to an EasyBCD patcher that include this file are down.

    Any ideas guys? I am at my wits end...
