The article linked is great, I went with a simple solution, I run a Linux machine with a Windows 7 virtual machine, mostly for DRM issues. |

In my experience Windows in general is unfriendly to anything not windows. When you installed Windows 7 it either formatted over your linux partition or it is simply ignoring your linux partition all together on boot up. What i have had to do in the past is install something like partition manager or boot magic which will recognize the bootable partitions despite what windows says. |

installing windows over linux damages the bootloader.you have to update the bootloader.most linux distros( eg fedora) offer bootloader updating functionality.what distro are you using? |

I was using Ubuntu 9.10, I know that its still on my laptop because I tried to re-install then canceled. |

Is the linux partitions already there ? Has your Vista installation wiped the whole disk ? |
