Hey all!
I have a Dell Laptop triple-booting XP, Vista, and Ubuntu 6.06. Anyway, I have a shared partition that I use for saving files for all three. Is there a way for me to change the default place to save in Vista to that drive instead of the "My Documents" that is on the Vista partition? Thanks in advance.

Ok I have a HP dv9210us and an external western digital 160GB hard drive. I was installing linux onto the drive and I some how mistakenly put the lilo boot loader onto sda (my internal) instead of sdb (my external). So now when I boot up to windows I need to have my external pluged in just to boot to windows on my internal. Anyway to make it simple how do I go about fixing my MBR on the drive. No I dont have any CDs. HP decided as many other OEMs to not ship CDs anymore so all I have is a partition on my HD that they put there.
Thank you all for the help and keep up the great work.
