I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a single disc which already had Windows 7 x64 on it. Windows was on two primary partitions, a very large partition C: and a small 100 mb partition. I've been using this computer for the past year with no problems.
During the installation of Ubuntu, I made four partitions: 1) /boot, 2)/(root), 3)/home and 4) SWAP.
I got a new laptop (Asus K55A) and I am trying to dual boot ubuntu along with windows 7 (boots into UEFI mode and has GPT partition).
I finished installation from a LiveCD. I was able to use ubuntu from LiveCD for most common applications, video/graphics/audio/wireless/touchpad all seemed to work fine.
When I start my computer, I see the grub menu with ubuntu and windows option.
Original title: How can i solve (un)booting windows 7 on the same partition with grub?
I've been researching for 2/3 days about this problem and I have came up empty.
Basically, partition 1 is Windows 7 and partition 2 is Ubuntu 12.04. I told Ubuntu to install into partition 2 and to install grub on partition 1 and that works fine. But the problem now is that I can't boot to Windows 7.
I've got Windows 7 & Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my PC.
When I install Ubuntu, it came with GRUB.
On GRUB, when I select "Ubuntu" on boot menu, I've got a purple screen during 16 seconds, and passed 16 seconds it shows the boot screen and loads the desktop.
Actually, I've got BURG installed on my PC but now, when I try to boot Ubuntu, it shows a black screen with a blinking cursor durin 16 sec
I just installed ubuntu 12.04 using a different partition for the /boot (I don't know why exactly I did this, I remembered reading somewhere on the web about this). The thing is that after this operation, the grub is not showing at boot, so the computer is loaded directly into windows.
I have Windows 7 on my machine and then installed Ubuntu 12.04 using a live CD. I can see both Windows 7 and Ubuntu in the grub menu, but when I select Windows 7 it shows a black screen for about 2 seconds and the returns to the Grub menu.
I just installed a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 and during install selected to have grub put on it's own partition for the boot device since I use the Windows 7 boot manager for my booting. I also boot Ubuntu version 10.04 with the 7 and 12.04. I use Easy BCD to configure the boot menu, and did add in my new 12.04, but when I select it to boot it re-directs to the 10.04 grub menu.
i just installed ubuntu 12.10 alongside windows 7 but now my computer automatically boots to ubuntu. i want windows 7 as my default operating system. when i start up my laptop it shows me no settings or any screen asking me what operating system to use.
I've followed the instructions for the ubuntu windows installer for my Sony Vaio laptop(SVT131A11M) and once the system restarted it gave me an option to boot into Win7 or Ubuntu.
