http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a GA-Z77X-UD5H Motherboard by Gigabyte. I have windows 7 installed that works fine. Installing Ubuntu 12.10 works fine but grub fails to install, so I only see the windows boot menu. I have tried using EasyBCD 2.2 to book into the drive, but it always fails, so I am at loss. I am wondering if anyone else has this motherboard and has this problem, maybe I missing a setting. Chris (Hardware)

I want to buy a GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB WIFI motherboard. Can I install Ubuntu or another Linux OS on a computer with this motherboard?

If this is possible: where I can download the drivers for this motherboard or are they already in the Ubuntu installation package?

Thank you.

Hi!

I am trying to install Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 to a new machine. Installation fails.

Hardware configuration:

processor: i7-3770S motherboard: Intel DQ77MK 8 GB RAM PCI Express video card: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 (2GB) Dual-Link DVI connected to 30" monitor 2560 × 1600 two SATA HDD drives USB CD drive USB mouse and keyboard

Memory had been tested with MEM

let me start off by saying althought I am not an expert, I am an experienced noob. I recently got a new system with gigabyte z77x ud5h mobo along with an SSD and a data disk. I cannot begin to tell you how many time I have tried to install but each time fedora fails to boot. I even got RHEL6 disk and tried (thinking it was usb install issue), same story.

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.

Fedora 12 install fails 3 years 26 weeks ago

I have Vista on the first disk drive. I use the second drive for Fedora. The automated update destroyed my Fedora 10 installation while trying to update to Fedora 12 - possibly because of GRUB issues. Now I am trying to install Fedcora 12 from the x86_64 ISO.

This issue concerns a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H it's an 1155 socket http://www.gigabyte.us/products/prod...px?pid=4139#ov I have an i7 Sandybridge overclocked to 4.6GHz 32Gb RAM Try as I might but luck isn't on my side.. I have tried 4 times so far to get Ubuntu to install but I'm not having an ounce of luck.

Hi.

My motherboard (64bit, UEFI): GA-Z77X-UD5H Firmware: F14 (latest)

I use motherboard RAID1 (hardware) to mirror two identical HDDs. I use this volume exclusively as data volume (as opposed to system volume). The filesystem is NTFS.

The created RAID1 volume works fine with Windows 7, which is already installed on the system HDD.

install ubuntu 12.10 issue 19 weeks 6 days ago

I'm installing Ubuntu 12.10 along side windows 7. I have installed windows then Ubuntu 12.10, each on a different partition. while choosing where to install boot loader I left the default, it was my hard disk name in general not a specific sda or something like that. everything was fine and after rebooting again windows start up logo appeared.

Hi guys,I've been trying to install the new Waldorf image to a flash drive, but it always fails when installing the boot loader.As I don't have that much experience and I'm afraid to affect the OS already installed I'm installing it thorugh a virtual environment (VMWare), basically by booting the virtual machine with the waldorf image while having the flash drive connected and
