I tried to delete old ubuntu on dual-boot via win7 to get more win space (partition had non-ajacent NTFS free disk partitions and woldn't allow me to move in either gparted or win) and reinstalled ubuntu with alongside windows selected. I left about 1/2 NTFS and 1/2 ext3 before reinstalling ubuntu.
I've followed the instructions for the ubuntu windows installer for my Sony Vaio laptop(SVT131A11M) and once the system restarted it gave me an option to boot into Win7 or Ubuntu.
so I decided to install #! on my desktop, now that i got my laptop squared away. I had ubuntu 12.04 dual boot with win7. I deleted the ubuntu partition with the windows disk management utility (as i dont know any other way to uninstall linux... seems a little hacky to me) and then rebooted using the win7 install cd to run bootrec.exe /fixmbr, then bootrec.exe /fixboot.
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in my computer without problems, but after rebooting i got the following error:
Error: No such partition
grub rescue>
I am a novice with ubuntu and any detailed instructions to the problem will be highly appreciated.
I ran boot repair as per the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
boo
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.
I am currently dual booting Win7 and Ubunto. I created a new partition, on my c drive, to install windows 8 on (i did not want to do the upgrade). I inserted the windows 8 cd and restarted my computer. no such partition/ grub rescue is all that comes up now. i loaded ubuntu from disk and did boot-repair.
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a single disc which already had Windows 7 x64 on it. Windows was on two primary partitions, a very large partition C: and a small 100 mb partition. I've been using this computer for the past year with no problems.
During the installation of Ubuntu, I made four partitions: 1) /boot, 2)/(root), 3)/home and 4) SWAP.
I've had Ubuntu 12.04 dual boot installed via WUBI on my Win7 HP laptop for several months.
I primarily use Win7, using Ubuntu on the weekend and for Ruby on Rails.
Recently Win7 crashed on me. After the crash I can no longer boot up with Win7.
I followed the instructions for the Ubuntu windows installer on my Sony Vaio laptop (model SVT131A11M). Upon restart I was prompt to choose the OS for boot (Win7 or Ubuntu), but then I shut down the machine and from the next boot, every time I choose to boot into Ubuntu, the GNU GRUB terminal appears with a grub> prompt.
Now I'm able to boot into Win7, but can't boot into Ubuntu properly.
