Stories similar to My Ubuntu is gone

I have a Vista/Ubuntu dual boot set up (with Grub to manage it). I am about to upgrade from vista home basic 32 bit to windows 7 ultimate. Before I do though- I want to make sure that this will not mess with my boot loader.

ubuntu won't boot 3 years 24 weeks ago

i downloaded the iso for 9.10 and md5sum'd it (perfect) then burned it and booted and ran check disk for errors (also perfect) i then set up a partition in vista by following the exact instructions from the ubuntu forums (and allocated 48GB for ubuntu) and tried to install. it went fine for a while, then showed an error and shut down and rebooted from the live cd again.

Hi all,

I recently installed Precise next to my Vista. Now when I try to boot into Vista it attempts to load and then the bsod flashes and goes back to the grub loader. I then tried to boot into Precise and the boot just started to hang for a couple of minutes. It eventually gave me a screen notifying me that it could not locate /tmp.

Hi guys, My name is Reza & i am a newbie to linux,installed ubuntu just yesterday, at first with a single boot system(ubuntu) everything were fine with everything include second monitor ,then i installed vista too,now i have a dual boot system & i am very happy to get rid of crappy junk microsoft's software as much as i can,unbuntu performance is really wonderful to me,just i have one prob

OK, I have read for days and have tried many different ways, including reinstalling xp, then ubuntu a second time.

After I finish my Ubuntu install, grub runs at boot like it is supposed to.

Only grub displays Ubuntu, Ubuntu repair, memtest, and Vista recovery.

I have installed XP over the Vista partition, leaving the recovery partition alone for now. Then installed Ubuntu side by side.

I am working without a net here. All of my data, terrabyte of family photos...etc.

I have installed Unbuntu, but now i have problems getting to windows 7!!

When i click windows 7 loader the screen simply goes black for a second and then back to unbuntu the same happens with the repair.

Okay, here is the deal. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 in October or so, so that it would dual boot on my laptop along with Windows Vista. I haven't had any problems with the set up since then. It would boot using the Windows boot loader which I noted was different from my desktop which would use Grub.

I have cleaned an old ubuntu - that caused my Grub loader to go crap. I have managed to put a new ubuntu instead of that - but my Vista is stil unaccessible. I have made boot-repair to run (but maybe my settings did not worked). I have checked later the MBR record correction too. Can anybody chat with me or can I share my screen?
