http://askubuntu.com – After I installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I think waiting a long time to choose between win7 and ubuntu is such a waste. So I went into win7 and set the default to ubuntu and no waiting time(not the grub in ubuntu).Now I can only access ubuntu. But I have something to do with win7. I wonder how can I enter win7? There is no win7 in my grub menu.Even if I add one in, It said no such thing. Since this is win7 I can't edit boot.ini to fix it. I have tried to puch F8 or the down arrow to stop the system turn to ubuntu. But they all failed.I just want to enter win7 and change that damn waiting time. (HowTos)

hello all, well , I made a real bonehead move today. I had pc set up to boot Mint, Ubuntu and win7. Ubuntu and Win7 on a SSD and Mint on seperate 1 TB HD , I also have a 2TB storage drive.

Hello!

I installed fedora on a PC with Win7 on it from live-usb and had an error: "There was an error installing the bootloader. The system may not be bootable.

I've had Ubuntu 12.04 dual boot installed via WUBI on my Win7 HP laptop for several months.

I primarily use Win7, using Ubuntu on the weekend and for Ruby on Rails.

Recently Win7 crashed on me. After the crash I can no longer boot up with Win7.

I'll make this quick: I have an HP laptop with win7, I installed Ubuntu on a separate partition, and when I tried to boot win7 from grub I got the loading screen and no progress-ever. I did a /fixmbr with the windows recovery cd and got back windows, but wiped out grub and my access to Ubuntu.

Hi all,

I'm new to Ubuntu and I've installed Ubuntu desktop 12.10 in my Satellite L300D, alongside with Win7. While the Ubuntu installation seems to be just fine, I can't boot Win7. When I choose the "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" it changes to a black screen for 1 second and then it returns to GRUB.

I've tried the Boot Repair solution but it didn't work.

i got a new laptop sonyvaio E-series wiht win7.i installed ubuntu12.0.4 x64 but i formatted ubuntu partition due to some booting problems.from then i`m unable to boot with previous win7 and recovery disk for win7 is unable to load though it is available .how can i regain my previous booting from win7?

I followed the instructions for the Ubuntu windows installer on my Sony Vaio laptop (model SVT131A11M). Upon restart I was prompt to choose the OS for boot (Win7 or Ubuntu), but then I shut down the machine and from the next boot, every time I choose to boot into Ubuntu, the GNU GRUB terminal appears with a grub> prompt.

Now I'm able to boot into Win7, but can't boot into Ubuntu properly.

well, after a lot of searching i have decided to ask here. i had win7/ubutu 10.10 32bit dualbooting on Asus 1201N for long time peacfully until i decided to give 10.10 64bit a try also. i had 92 gb sda1 ntfs partition for win7 and a 190 gb sda4 extended partition with: 10 gb ubuntu root, 10 gb ubuntu home, 4 gb ubuntu swap and the rest was big ntfs data partition. i have tried to resiz

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.
