[SOLVED] Trouble dual booting Server 2k8 and Ubuntu

Hello,
I have an Ubuntu Natty installation and I installed Windows Server 2008 on another partition. So it directly booted to Server when the PC was turned on. So I used Rescatux to restore the grub. Now Ubuntu boots but there's no Server in the grub. Can anyone help me?

Try this.
Add the following lines in /boot/grub/grub.cfg

menuentry "Windows Server"{
set root=(hd0,1) //replace (hd0,1) with the partition of your 2k8 install.
chainloader +1
}


You will have to see where to paste this code.Wont be hard.
Hopefully,it will help.

Nothing worked. So I did a reinstall of Windows Server 2008 and added Ubuntu to windows bootloader via EasyBCD. Thanks all for responding anyway.
