HI!
I have a problem...
I have boot loader in sda1
Win7 in sda2
WinXP in sda3 (and these are like first partitions)
next in sda4 (sda4 is LVM) are sda5 (data) and sda6 is linux partition
in sda6 is root directory ( / ) and "swap"
xD
when I installed WinXP my multiboot broke...
I have a SATA with 320gb running Windows 8 I am trying to dual boot.
I tried Installing It through a USB but received this message. Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda2' failed.
Sorry if I've missed something in my searches :-(
I've had a dual boot system for some time, with 12.04 on a SATA drive and WinXP on an IDE drive.
I was running two separate partitions of Linux (Ubuntu and Linux Mint) and Windows XP when I deleted my Ubuntu partition through Easus partition manager on XP due to simple stupidity. This erased my Grub bootloader, but I managed to install Grub Legacy from my Linux Mint Live CD.
Hi All,
I installed ubuntu alongside with windows 7 but I am not getting the option for ubuntu in the windows boot loader.
I have a 320 gb hard disk:
C: drive - 40 gb windows has been installed on this
D and E drives - 250 gb used for data
F: drive - 15 gb firstly formatted as NTFS but used gparted to change the filesyste. This is the partition I used to install ubuntu.
I have the following partition structure
`/dev/loop0 squashfs
/dev/sda1 system reserved ( ntfs )
/dev/sda2 ntfs ( windows partition )
/dev/sda3 ntfs
/dev/sda5 ntfs
/dev/sda6 ext4`
I have Ubuntu installed inside windows. I formatted /dev/sda6 from inside Ubuntu ( using Gparted ). What I totally forgot was /dev/sda6 had Fedora which was the root directory of GRUB.
So I made a bootable usb pendrive using universal usb installer. Went and booted my pc from the usb and got to this screen http://i.imgur.com/QdFVi.jpg
I hit "install ubuntu on a hard disk" and ubuntu did its thing. After a few seconds It gets stuck here http://i.imgur.com/eN8zu.jpg
and that's that it doesn't do anything else.
I had the idea to dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu and what I did was the following:
Made a clean install of win 7 using all of my hard drive, next I used the ubuntu live cd and gparted to partition my drive to be the following:
/dev/sda1 ext4 20GB (Linux root)
/dev/sda2 ntfs 100GB(Win7)
/dev/sda3 ext4 350GB(Home)
/dev/sda4 extended 4GB(swap)
The thing is, when installing ubuntu I deleted the partiti
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.
