ALL I want is to have Windows Vista at sda1 and Ubuntu at sda2. there is
unallocated space at sda3 and HP_RECOVERY at sda4.

i want Windows to boot FIRST, with the option of booting Ubuntu.
i want the unallocated space added to Windows Vista partition (70G worth)
i dont care what HP does with its 12G of recovery files. though 12G sure sounds 
like a memory hog to me ;-P

i initially used gpart to mess up my MBR and was stuck in my LiveCD for
a day reading web help and messing with command prompts in a language i
am not familiar with.

now i have managed to get Ubuntu9.x on my a 5g partition (stolen, err...
liberated from the unallocated partition).

i have un-installed GRUB, GRUB2 and re-installed them twice. with enough
progress to get to a chainloader menu that will log me into Ubuntu
automatically, but when i select Windows, i get afresh blank screen and
the following text:

GRUB _

the underscore just sits there and blinks at me...

NB: i bought a laptop without any boot CDs and was arrogant enough to
think i wouldn't need a windows boot cd.

help me please ;-)
