Ubuntu 9.10 using Grub2 loader
I note that latest build of EasyBCD (version 2.0.0.67) has promptly added Grub2 support, in response to the newly launched Ubuntu 9.10 using Grub2 loader, instead of the legacy Grub.
After I installed Ubuntu 9.10, it overwrote MBR to boot from Grub2. Now I use Easy BCD to reinstall the "Windows Vista/7 Bootloader" and write MBR, so that the PC will boot from this bootloader.
Next, I remove the NeoGrub loader entry and add a new entry to chainload to Grub2 to load Ubuntu, with the steps below using EasyBCD:
Add/Remove Entries -> Lunux/BSD
Select Grub 2 from "Type" drop-down menu
Click "Add Entry"
That's it. The settings viewed in EasyBCD now look as follows:
There are a total of 3 entries listed in the bootloader.
Default: Windows 7
Timeout: 8 seconds.
Boot Drive: C:\
Entry #1
Name: Windows XP
BCD ID: {ntldr}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \ntldr
Entry #2
Name: Windows 7
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: I:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Entry #3
Name: Chainload to Grub2
BCD ID: {2614856a-0443-11dc-80ed-aee1952ea8b0}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr
