Hi,
I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu 12.10 alongside windows 8. I tried to use wubi windows installer to install ubuntu. Now when I restart my laptop it reports some problem with "File: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr". However i'm still able to login to windows 8 but not ubuntu.
I usually Dual boot with 2 separate Hard Drive tot have a backup just in case. Well apparently a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 just happened to hit the exact thing. It seems the Ubuntu installer picked the Window 7 Hard Drive to install Grub, but sent everything else to the assigned hard-drive.
Hello everyone, I know there is nothing I can do about it now but I need to vent a little. Recently I bought a laptop and upgraded it to Windows 8. Tonight I wanted to install Ubuntu on it in a dual boot.
Hello Ubuntu Community,
Let me start with a general low-down of all the "materials" I have here:
Windows 7 Home EditionPlot Boot Manager (Because my BIOS does not want to boot from USB)Ubuntu 12.10 downloaded straight from this site.
Okay, so what I did was I downloaded Universal USB installer so that it would put the .iso file onto the flashdrive and make it bootable.
I've been using Win7 for a while now, but recently bought an SSD. I decided to use it to dual-boot Ubuntu and Win7.
First I installed win 7 on the SSD, together with some programs and games, which worked fine and left me the old Windows installation on my HDD.
After already having a dual boot (win7 and Ubuntu) I wanted to add Mint. During installation from flash, the install had an error while configuring the HDD partition and apparently deleted a partition and GRUB. I downloaded "repair-boot" and let it run. Now GRUB doesn't even show. The comp boots only into win7. No GRUB at all.
Hey,
I'm new to linux, I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop. It works, but now I don't see an option to boot into my windows 7 partition.
While I was installing Ubuntu I removed a tiny partition. It was like 1gb or something with only 35 mb used, I think the Ubunto installer said it was labeled "Windows (Loader)".
Hi,
I am trying to install Ubuntu on my machine, the history is the following:
I have a dual boot computer with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Yesterday I turned the computer on and tried to boot on Windows, it then showed that "repair" system.
It started repairing and failed with an I/O failure.
Since then I have no GRUB, so I cannot boot.
I then ran Ubuntu LiveCD, it booted perfectly.
Hi all,
I'm new to Ubuntu and I've installed Ubuntu desktop 12.10 in my Satellite L300D, alongside with Win7.
While the Ubuntu installation seems to be just fine, I can't boot Win7.
When I choose the "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" it changes to a black screen for 1 second and then it returns to GRUB.
I've tried the Boot Repair solution but it didn't work.
