Okay so i got a Verbatim External 250 gig Hard Drive, and what happened was i tried to format it, and than i installed Ubuntu 8.04 on it. Now, when i boot up my computer it says “Grub Loading” and than i choose from ununtu, ubuntu recovery mode, windows vista loader etc. And now I want to backup all of my data from that computer onto the drive, but it says i have to format it, and I’m afraid that if i format the external drive that i won’t be able to go onto windows at all, because the only way it will run is if the external drive is connected, but when im all logged on and stuff i can disconnect it. But i need it too boot. I have recovery discs with the OS on it, should i do a system recovery and reinstall the software, and will i still need the external drive connected at startup? Thanks =]
