Hi. I have a Dell inspiron 6000 labtop with 60 gig I have windows vista on my first partition which is sda1 and the second partition is free to install mepis to have a dual boot. when I load mepis it load fine, I try to install mepis and using qparted, quarted is not interpiting the free space correctly by default, so I used the menu and find the free space make 1gig for swap and the rest for my mepis, it seems like every thing was install properly but when I reboot vista was not present in the line up so I edit /boot/grub/menu.1st when I check the file vista was not present so I add title vista
