Original title: How can i solve (un)booting windows 7 on the same partition with grub?
I've been researching for 2/3 days about this problem and I have came up empty.
Basically, partition 1 is Windows 7 and partition 2 is Ubuntu 12.04. I told Ubuntu to install into partition 2 and to install grub on partition 1 and that works fine. But the problem now is that I can't boot to Windows 7.
I know of two separate bootloaders present on my disk: GRUB2 which is on my Ubuntu partition and GRUB legacy on the BackTrack partition. How do I know which bootloader comes up when my computer boots? Is it the MBR that selects the bootloader?
I imagine the booting process happens like this:
--power on--
bios: use disk hd0
I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu 13.04 on my MacBook and despite selecting the same partition as the Ubuntu root partition to install the bootloader, it installs Grub to the EFI partition under /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi. The EFI partition is being mounted by Ubuntu under /boot/efi.
I've installed Arch Linux several times on a virtual machine (using syslinux as bootloader) without any problems, and now I've decided to have my laptop dual boot with Windows 7 and Arch.My laptop came with Windows 7 pre-installed and so after I changed the boot location, Windows has 3 primary partitions on the HD. I plan on having a boot, swap, root, and home partitions (logical).
Hi all, I just installed backtrack on my laptop (didnt install bootloader at the end), and I want to manage this distro boot from the boot partition (with Arch owns and grub2 is installed). I simply installed os-prober and then ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the backtrack installation was succesfully detected.
Hi all,
I've decided to get back into the linux scene what with valve's recent developments and my building a newer i5 rig.
I currently have win7 installed on a 90gb SSD. It's not going away and I need to continue using it for video editing and such.
I'm putting ubuntu on a brand new 2TB hard drive. Right now I have a 200gb partition and a swap partition and ...
Iv been researching for 2/3 days about this problem and i have came up empty.
Basically, partition 1 is windows 7 and partition 2 is ubuntu 12.04.
I told ubuntu (when installing to partition 2) to install grub on partition 1, and that works fine.
At first, Windows 7 was the only OS in the drive.
Then I installed MINT. Accidentally, I formated the sda1 partition (where the windows 7 bootloader was stored) as ext4, being the mount point of /boot.
I have two HDDs>> hd0 is internal , hd1 is external.
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 in the external hdd as follows:
"\home" ext3-partition in (hd1,2)
"\root" ext3-partition in (hd1,3)
"swap" partition in (hd1,4)
During installation, I changed the bootloader setting.
