Hi there.

Before installing Ubuntu 11.10, I had 2 partitions in Windows, the second of which I split into 2, the second of which was used for the Ubuntu installation.

However once the Ubuntu installation completed, I could no longer boot into Windows 7, every time I chose the option, the computer would restart and bring me back to the Grub menu.

Hi there,

Complete beginner with Linux here who recently dual-booted Windows 7 with Ubuntu on two hard drives (one solely for windows, one for Ubuntu).

My boot priority is set to (1) HDD with windows (2) HDD with Ubuntu & partitions.

I need help with the installation process .i have been trying to install it for a while now and have failed to so twice so every time I switch my pc on it gives a menu form where i have to select the windows in the menu there is windows 7 and two ubuntu choices which if i select gives a screen showing some error.

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.
