Everything went well and I am able to boot in to windows after complete installation of Ubuntu.
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.
I just bought a a Samsung series 5 Ultra laptop (NP520U4C-A01UB). I was able to disable the secure boot feature in the bios and install Ubuntu 12.04 (as dual boot with Windows eight). Ubuntu works fine, but I can't boot to Windows in Grub. I get the following messages:
Code:
error: unknown command 'drivemap'
error: invalid EFI filepath
Does anyone know how to fix or work around this?
I ran a bunch of recommended updates on my Toshiba Satellite C655 earlier today. Thereafter I could not boot my computer at all. It's a dual installation, and I can't boot either Ubuntu 12.04 or Linux Mint 11 Katya. I decided to try a fresh install, tried booting each system from the live CDs, and that failed.
(Sorry if some of this info is irrelevant, not sure if how much of this will matter or not)
So I was reinstalling Ubuntu 12.10 with the same USB I had used to install it the first time (dual boot with win7). I initially had a grub error booting into windows (but not ubuntu), but I could still boot into windows by switching to the windows bootloader in the BIOS.
So, im completely new to ubuntu and I just wanted to try it out. So i set up a dual boot with windows 7 and ubuntu, and ubuntu works fine. Yet, when i try to boot windows 7, it gives me the error "unknown filesystem" with grub rescue under that.

I am trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. I created three partitions (200MB for /boot, 3GB for swap, and 25GB for /). I am trying to install from the Live Image (USB or CD), and I keep getting
error 5: Input/Output Error
How do I diagnose what is causing this, and how can I fix it?
I have bought a new Windows 8 laptop and the first thing I wanted to do was clear Windows 8 and start afresh with Ubuntu. I downloaded ubuntu-secure-remix-12.10-64bit.iso and created a bootable USB stick (couldn't boot from DVD) and then proceeded to install it on my laptop. I did not go for a dual boot (seemed little point as I would never use Windows).
