configure EacyBCD
EasyBCD boot linux distro from the windows boot loader with the GRUB4DOS which use the grub2 and grub legacy.
Add the new entry for ubuntu in EasyBCD and select the grub legacy and the partition where the ubuntu is installed.
Then go to the advanced settings and select the drive where EasyBCD folder NST is installed, open the C:/NST/menu.lst add these lines for the ubuntu installed in the /dev/sda5:
root (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
boot
In grub legacy hard disk and partitions counts starts from 0 (zero) and in grub2 hard disks starts from 0 (zero) and partitions starts from 1 (one).
Attention please:
When ever you install the new copy of ubuntu delete the old ubuntu entry from the EasyBCD and add the new one. other wise it will not boot the ubuntu.
Grub prompt
When GRUB 2 is unable to boot or display the GRUB 2 menu the system will be left at a GRUB2 terminal if possible. If the system boots to the grub> prompt, the usual modules and commands are normally available. The user may need to manually load modules using the insmod [module] command before some commands will work.
grub>
To boot the linux from the grub prompt enter these commands one by one in the grub terminal and hit the return:
grub> set root=(hd0,5) 
grub> chainloader +1
grub> boot
hd0 is the first hard disk and 5 is the first logical partition where linux is installed.for grub legacy enter root (hd0,4).
Create gpt partition table for linux.
gpt partition table support larger hard disk with as much primary partitions (no need to create logical partition) and UFEI and legacy boot. grub2 supports gpt.
To make gpt partitions with parted, the first primary partiton should start from 2048s (s means sectors):
(parted) mkpart primary 2048s 50MB
Then run this code to align the partition:
(parted) align-check optimal 1
1 aligned
