Please help me. I'm curious about but VERY new to Ubuntu and Linux in general.
Short: My system has 2 OS: Win 7 x64 and Ubuntu 12.10. I'm getting 2 Windows boot options: "on dev/sda1" and "on dev/sda2". What does this mean?
Ok, so I'm having this problem. I have also seen something called Boot Repair
Any help?
Hello,
I tried to intall ubuntu 12.10 64bit (usb) on my new Sony T series. I disabled secure boot and followed instuctions from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
I can boot to ubuntu but windows 8 will not boot and I just get the Invalid EFI file path" error. (I think Bug #1024383) As the instructions said I booted to live usb again and ran disk-repair (paste.ubuntu/1406514).
Hi all,
Recently got a new Dell XPS15 laptop. The laptop came with Windows 8 by default (no provided installation media). Have been having some real difficulties with dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.
So I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTE 64-bit using the DVD. I followed LinuxBSDos guide for dual booting Windows 7 (first installed) and Ubuntu 12.04 (second install) on 2 Separate Hard drives.
I had Windows 7 Pro installed on /dev/sda1.
I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 7 on my laptop. After I did this I couldn't boot into Windows 7. I got an error regarding an 'invalid EFI path'. After a bit of searching the forums, I found out about Boot Repair. I ran this in my Ubuntu partition and it has fixed the problem.
So, I don't know what exactly how I managed to delete the MBR record on windows partition. But let me explain what I did next, I ran the ubuntu boot repair tool and now Windows is not even listed in my grub loader.
So I went and booted with windows cd and choose repair. Then I ran ubuntu boot repair again via live cd. Here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1426181/. Still no luck.
I have Windows 7 on my computer and installed Ubuntu 12.10 alongside for a duel-boot via a live USB, but it boots directly to Windows 7 when I restart the computer.
I have looked up the 'boot-repair' fix, however it still hasn't fixed my problem.
I'm using an ASUS N56V, CPU: Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.30GHz, OS: Windows 7 x64
I have the boot info from my last attempt at a boot-repair fix.
If anybo
Earlier today i installed ubuntu 12.10 beta. Grub wasn't booting, but just going directly to my primary OS Windows 7. I assumed i had partitioned incorrectly, because partitioning isnt my strong suit. I used boot repair because it was well recomanded off a live usb. Afterwards, grub appeared, but i only had options for Ubuntu, Advanced Ubuntu Option, and my hidden windows 7 recovery partition.
