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 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.

Hi,

I wanted to dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu 12.04LTS. So, I installed Win7 first. Then I installed Ubuntu 12.04LTS, using the "side by side" option and it went through fine and I got the grub loader asking for which i wanted to boot.

Then, there was around 100gb or unallocated space which I made as a partition of windows.

Hi, can someone help me install a dual boot for windows 7 and ubuntu. I've installed Win7 and I've installed ubuntu and made a /boot, /home, /root, and swap partitions. The /boot is a primary partition and the rest is logical. I set the device boot loader to /boot and when I restart I get a error grub rescue message.

am i supposed to set the device boot loader to /dev/sda or sda3?

I had a Win7/Ubuntu dual-boot set up on my laptop. I deleted Ubuntu, and when I load up my computer I am now met with a screen displaying the following:

error: no such partition. grub rescue>

How can I have my computer boot straight into Windows 7 again?

Solved: I created a win7 system repair disc using another machine, and fixed the problem using the bootrec command within Command Prompt.

After already having a dual boot (win7 and Ubuntu) I wanted to add Mint. During installation from flash, the install had an error while configuring the HDD partition and apparently deleted a partition and GRUB. I downloaded "repair-boot" and let it run. Now GRUB doesn't even show. The comp boots only into win7. No GRUB at all.

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.

All I want to do is, install ubuntu onto a pendrive, so that I don't need to use my internal HDD.

I have a dual boot of Win7 and Ubuntu on my HP laptop. I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 today and on restart I got a different black Grub screen instead of the usual purple one. (GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1) Each boot option only returns error messages.
