I had windows 7 installed on my pc, then I installed Ubuntu 10.10/
During the installation process I have chosen to manually set my partitions:
I set a 10GB drive for ubuntu root
1GB drive for swap
and for boot drive I've chosen the one used by windows 7
Now I can boot ubuntu, I have the windows 7 option in the boot list, but when I choose Windows 7, it shows me a black screen for a second and returns back to boot screen.
