I think that something somewhere is actually looking past (skipping) grub :/

I never even see grub come up; post boot.. Windows.. all within about 8 seconds :/

Full log-in to windows about 28 sec

I am missing something here.. This is a fresh install of Windows.. and immediately after, the install of Ubuntu...

something is screwy here (btw, it took me 1 1/2 days just to figure out how to get the boot on my new SSD, first time experience with SSDs.. what a pain in the azz >.<

Love the SSD, but I am wondering if it has anything to do with the prob (personally, with my PC experience, it doesn’T have anything to do with it.. but.. in the PC world, we never know :p )

Well that’s the right order for sure - if you do linux then windows - windows will try to take the whole system and lock you out of linux.

I think the approach needed here would be to boot into linux with your flash drive and have a look at all of your partitions (fdisk or the equivalent), have a look at grub.conf, and maybe somebody else can specify some other things to look at.

Failing this there is always the reinstall linux option.
