http://ubuntuforums.org – Ok, I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my Toshiba Satellite P755D. Ubuntu was my primary partition. That my pc booted to. I never used it, so I wanted that space on it back for windows 7. Well, I f*cked up, and when I deleted the partition, I forgot to make windows the active partition. Now, when I boot my pc it gives me the "Error: no such partition. Grub Rescue" crap. I've tried but can not boot from my windows disc or even my ubuntu disc. I can't seem to even get to my BIOS, or anything. My windows 7 partition should be fine, I just can't figure out how to make it my primary (Hardware)

Hi everyone! First of all, sorry for my English. I got this problem and I hope you can help me :)

Ok I HAD a dual boot gateway laptop with windows vista on it.

partitions primary restore 10gb primary windows 100gb logical ext4 ubuntu 40gb logical swap ubuntu 7gb

I used only ubuntu because windows was probably infected.

Ubuntu needed more space. So I thought about deleting windows and expanding linux partitions. I had no hd to backup...read on to see how stupid I am...

i have installed windows 7 in my 1st partition and ubuntu in my 4th partition. i was doing some partition managing stuff.

Whenever I select Windows 7 under GRUB, it just hangs at a flashing underscore windows 7 is installed under my first primary partition, what should the GRUB section look like for it? I can't check what mine looked like because this happened:

I am trying to dual boot on an external USB 500GB drive using my laptop.I have Windows 7 installed and booting on 1st partition 230GB now as active primary, 2nd partition is 100GB as primary, and 3rd partition is 135GB as primary. I was intending on installing Ubuntu onto the 2nd partition.

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 had a dual boot with win 7, Ubuntu, and Linux mint. I deleted the two partitions for Linux and Ubuntu and extended the windows partition back into the unallocated space.

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.

Hey guys, I know there is a million posts out there on this same topic, but not one explains in detail what to do if you do not have the CD/DVD that came with the PC.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A505 running Windows 7 on Intel Core 2 Duo. I had partitioned my 500 GB hard drive and installed Ubuntu 10.10 on 95 GB.
