I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a single disc which already had Windows 7 x64 on it. Windows was on two primary partitions, a very large partition C: and a small 100 mb partition. I've been using this computer for the past year with no problems.
During the installation of Ubuntu, I made four partitions: 1) /boot, 2)/(root), 3)/home and 4) SWAP.
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.
Whenever I select Windows 7 under GRUB, it just hangs at a flashing underscore
windows 7 is installed under my first primary partition, what should the GRUB section look like for it?
I can't check what mine looked like because this happened:
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.
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.
When I buy laptop recently,it already install win7.
I remove D to install ubuntu 12.04 64 bits.
At first I only set partitions like this,and I don't change any other partitions related with win7:
swap 16GB
/ 150GB
But I got this message:
The partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a separate partition for boot loader code.
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.
Hi everyone! First of all, sorry for my English. I got this problem and I hope you can help me :)
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).
