Okay, so I've partitioned my drive, allotting approximately 500g to both sides, running Ubuntu currently. I installed Foresight off of its live disc, but it never shows up in my GRUB. I really want to use ForeSight, and if anyone could help me make GRUB recognise it, I'd really appreciate it. Also, if this is in the wrong section, please move me.

I believe that Ubuntu has a Grub Auto configure script... Try running "update-grub (as root, or with sudo: "sudo update-grub"), reboot and take a look, then let me know if it worked or not and we can go from there. Penguin

What do you mean by not much of anything ? Did the command run, and give some output ? Or did you get a "command not found" type error ? If it ran, but didn't seem to do much, try moving the grub menu file first, using "sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_back" then re-running the update command. Penguin

If you have some linux distro running on that disks, you could try grubed visual editor or ... spend some time reading man pages. Hope that will do something xD
