Mythbuntu 12.04 - I attempted to move one data drive to a different sata port, now the system doesn't boot (all drives are back to the original sata ports).
I ran boot-repair (using 12.04 live CD, ran the recommended repair) No change, the system doesn't boot.
I can boot the system off a rescue CD, choosing to boot off the correct boot drive.
I have Dell Inspiron 1525; installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and everything seemed well. Then did a reboot and tried to get into Vista - but I get a black screen with working cursor and nothing else.
I tried Boot Repair and it said:
Boot successfully repaired.
I installed ubuntu 12.04 on my hplaptop dv6000 from a usb flash. This laptop previously had two partition one with Ubuntu 10.04 and another one with Windows vista along with recovery partitions.
Hi
I'm having a problem getting grub to detect my XP partition.
Original configuration:-
Hard drive partitioned with primary partitions (Vista and Vista restore) and an extended partition for data
did not want anything to do with Vista so

Vista boot manager offered Vista or XP
All worked for years

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.

Tried the boot-repair disk.

he did have windows 7 and xp installed (with 4 partitions, win7, documents partition, win xp and another partition which called itself extended partition.
