Hello.

Don't bother yourself with VMware now. It lets you e.g. run Windows "from
inside" Linux, but as you're not yet proficient with Linux I'd recommend
you to just boot the two systems alternatively. It's simple, safer, no
needless magic involved.

And for your booting problem - are you still booting from the master
drive, or have you changed BIOS settings to boot from slave drive (where
Ubuntu resides)?

Guys, is it reasonable to ask Mike that he posts his /boot/grub/menu.lst
file here, or is there any easy-to-use GRUB configuration app in Ubuntu
(I'm using Debian, so the config files are similar, but I never used any
special app to edit my menu.lst)?
