Problems dual booting Vista and Ubuntu

Posted 23 July 2009 - 07:44 PM

I am quite new to Linux and am at the moment trying to get my computer to allow me to choose which OS (vista or Ubuntu) I want to log on to at boot. I have followed this tutorial http://apcmag.com/ho...irst.htm?page=4 and have got to a point where I can see both Longhorn and the Neogrub boot options when I press enter on to the Neogrub it gives me these options to choose from
title		Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid		eaae3936-f89b-46da-bb84-0d8567ca2255
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=eaae3936-f89b-46da-bb84-0d8567ca2255 ro quiet splash 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet

title		Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (recovery mode)
uuid		eaae3936-f89b-46da-bb84-0d8567ca2255
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=eaae3936-f89b-46da-bb84-0d8567ca2255 ro  single
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic

title		Ubuntu 9.04, memtest86+
uuid		eaae3936-f89b-46da-bb84-0d8567ca2255
kernel		/boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

title		Windows Vista (loader)
rootnoverify	(hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map		(hd0) (hd1)
map		(hd1) (hd0)
chainloader	+1
(this code is take from the menu.lst file)
but every option on the ubuntu list I choose brings up file not found any ideas??

Thank you in advance!

Even memtest?
Could you boot up knoppix and make sure the paths are correct?
