Yours is probably bigger, so it doesn't fit. You can try forcing, or try a different bootloader or maybe install GRUB to your other disk and chainload it from the boot manager of Windows.How I can do to boot from the second HDD?.I installed grub in sdb partition, but does not detect the boot from thisOr how I can repair the disk sda to install it again there?

Stories similar to error install grub2

I was trying to install Lubuntu from a CD which had the Lubuntu.iso burned to it. It hung at the part where it creates the boot image/mbr? Now my Windows OS boot sector is totally borked. Tried the Boot Repair CD (all options where tried). Tried an option in Test disk to repair boot sector, but no go. Can see Windows thru Super OS 11.

My BIOS has some problems and sometimes boot order of disks changes. I thought that if I insall grub on to the MBR of second data disk, it may boot. First disk(sda) is for boot and operating system, second disk(sdb) is for /var. All partitions are labeled and fsck has labels as partition references.

I have install grub on to MBR of second disk by "grub-install /dev/sdb".

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 had, several Fedora versions back, set up my dual boot machine where it would always load Windows XP using the Windows bootloader and I used a grub cd to boot Fedora. I was trying to do the same thing when installing Fedora 12 but apparently have forgotten what was required to do this.

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.

I have an old hard disk drive (the ribbon one) that I see using usb has a boot partition but don't see anything else.

So, I thought to try to boot up the the disk (which is running legacy grub) over usb from grub2 to check it out.

But, google has failed me.

I installed grub2-bios into partition ,instead of MBR.I removed /boot/grub directory before the upgrade just in case# chattr -i /boot/grub/core.img # rm -rf /boot/grub/ # pacman -Syu # modprobe dm-modAfter grub2-bios and grub2-common have been upgraded , I ran# grub-install --directory=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/boot --recheck --force --debug /dev/sda1 # chattr +i /bo

Hi, I recently decided that I want to run a dual boot of Ubuntu 9.10 (main) and Winblows XP (games).

I have a HP compaq 8200 Elite CMT PC with an i7 processor and 16GB of ram. There are two hardisks on the pc one of which is 500GB and the other one is 1TB. I have a licensed copy of windows 32 bit on the 500GB which I cannot touch and I need to install a 64 bit ubuntu on the 1TB partition.
