I dual boot LINUX and win seven. Recently I formatted my LINUX partition from within ms so I could install Ubuntu. I installed from the live CD and rebooted only to find no Ubuntu but grub listed my previous LINUX which of course didn't boot. Windows booted fine, so I formatted the LINUX partition again thinking to reinstall.
I'm trying to restore Grub to boot Linux Mint 13 and Windows 7. I just installed Windows 7, which rewrote the MBR, and then I was told I could simply boot Ubuntu live cd, install boot-repair, and reinstall grub over the MBR. I went through the installation, using the option to purge the old grub, but it failed, asking me to run some terminal commands to uninstall grub.
I formerly had windows 7 without ubuntu. Now I upgraded it to windows 8..then I installed ubuntu 12.10 with live disk.
After installing it runs ok and I see a dual boot option in grub menu. Now sometimes I log in to windows 8 for some tasks.

I am fairly new to Linux/Ubuntu and am in need of some help. I have dual booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 on 2 separate hard drives. After several attempts, I was only able to get it working by changing the BIOS hd boot option. I then found some threads on repairing the boot process by using Boot-Repair.
So I have 2 hard drives a HDD 320GB and a SSD 20GB. Before I had Windows 7 on the HDD and Ubuntu on the SSD but wanted to get rid of windows and reinstall a clean Ubuntu on the SSD then use the HDD for storage.
So I deleted everything from the HDD and set up the SSD with 18GB ext4 and 2GB Swap and installed Ubuntu on the 18GB ext4.
I have a dual boot PC with Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
i had deleted a partition using windows 7 in my dual boot system
then when i restarted my pc file system error was shown on screen with grub rescue
after some reading from internet
i typed in following command at grub rescue
ls
ls (hd0,msdos5)/
set root= (hd0,msdos5)
ls /
set prefix=(hd0,msdos5)/boot/grub
insmod /boot/grub/linux/mod
normal
my linux files are in msdos5 as seen using ls command
If your system only boots into memtest and there’s no entry in Grub for ubuntu after Ubuntu Karmic installed,this post may help!
Start your machine and after BIOS screen, keep SHIFT key pressed. GRUB menu should be there. If you can see the appropriate entry to boot, try it. It may work.
