Hello all,
I am dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T410. The computer is new but it is my fourth dual-boot project. First time doing it with 7 though.

I've had Ubuntu as the sole OS on my desktop for a couple years. Updated it to Precise soon after it came out. Today I decided to try dual booting to Windows 8. I bought a new, separate hard drive (SATA) to install Windows on. My Ubuntu installation is on my older PATA disk.
I disconnected the Ubuntu drive completely when installing Windows.
Hello all, I used to have Ubuntu 12.10 x64 installed and dual booting with PRE-INSTALLED Windows 8 on my laptop with UEFI. Now I want to do it again, however, there is something that I just can't seem to find an answer to.. I want to know if anybody can tell me how I can put Ubuntu 12.10 into the Windows 8 boot loader so that the computer boots into the Windows 8 OS selection screen?
Hi all,
Recently got a new Dell XPS15 laptop. The laptop came with Windows 8 by default (no provided installation media). Have been having some real difficulties with dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.
I just bought an Asus K55N and I want to dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with the factory installed Windows 7. I used the live-cd. It partitioned the hard drive for me, but when I restart it goes straight to Window7. When I look in the bios, it gives me the option to boot from dvd or Windows loader. I have been running Ubuntu for years now and have installed a dual boot on several machines.
Yesterday I installed ubuntu 12.04.1.
Note : its a dual boot system along windows 7
At first grub was appearing and i was able to start ubuntu but then i had to switch to windows but windows was not booting when i select windows 7 it jumps back to grub window. So i fix the Windows Boot Loader using repair from windows media and wolla windows started to boot but Ubuntu Grub gone.
When I installed Ubuntu onto my second harddrive, that had Crunchbang on it, I overwrote Crunchbang and could no longer boot my machine.
So, Boot Repair Disk to the rescue...AND I got Windows back up and booting, but without a dual-boot.
How do I get Ubuntu back into the boot-up list?
Do I wipe the Ubuntu drive and start over?
