http://askubuntu.com – 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. The problem is when I install it normally with the grub and the ubuntu in 1TB hdd and I try to boot through it I get a grub error : no such partition. But windows does boot when I change the boot harddisk. I have tried things like boot repair,rescatux, re installing grub etc but none of them helped. I am als (HowTos)

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.

[ubuntu] Grub windows error 7 weeks 1 day ago

Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I can't get back into windows (no such device / file not found when trying to load windows boot loader from grub)

I have an SSD(sdb) and 2 TB HDD(sda).

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 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

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

After installing Ubuntu 11.10 on a pc which already has Windows 7 I get this error:

error: invalid arch independent ELF magic. grub rescue>

So I used Supergrub boot disk to get into Ubuntu. And made sure that grub-efi-amd64 package is present, and I ran sudo grub-install /dev/sda command. That also led to the same error. Then I tried the solution given here and here.

So my computer has the following partitions:

/dev/sda -- (I know this isn't a real partition, but more so the boot loader)

/dev/sda1 -- (Windows 7 Boot Loader)

/dev/sda3 -- (Windows 7)

/dev/sda4 -- (Data partition, NTFS)

that means i have /dev/sda2 as free space.

I do not want to change the MBR of the computer. I would like /dev/sda2 to contain GRUB AND Ubuntu.

Hello, recently I updated Ubuntu and when I restarted my computer both my windows and linux partitions were greeted with a flashing _ (My Mac partition works just fine) I've searched around for solutions but none have worked, in the attached is a copy of my RESULTS.txt.
