http://ubuntuforums.org – Here is what my partition looked like yesterday morning: [100 mb system partition] [499.9 gb partition for Windows 8] I ran disk manager and reduced the Windows 8 partition. Then, I had: [100 mb system partition] [479.9 gb partition for Windows 8] [20 gb partition free space] Then, I installed Ubuntu from a usb stick (I selected install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8), and now my partitions look like this: http://i47.tinypic.com/2pt3yxe.png My Linux works fine, but when I selected Windows 8 in grub, I get this: Quote: error: device format "ldm/442e8310-28d1-1 (Hardware)

Hello,

I have a partition that I resized using gparted from my ubuntu and after that I installed windows 7 on that.

partition 1: ubuntu partition 2: windows partition 3: unallocated

-->

partition 1: ubuntu partition 2: windows (bigger)

Now theres a bit of freespace left and I would like to resize my windows 7 partition to use that free space.

If I partition it from ubuntu with gparted, t

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 just bought a new laptop that comes with Windows 7 preinstalled and I want to install Ubuntu alongside with it.

The system came with 5 partitions:

System partition Unknown partition NTFS partition (the one with windows) NTFS partition (to be used for data) A recovery partition

I had removed the NTFS data partition and shrinked the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu as it will be my m

I need a dual boot in my computer, Windows 7 and Fedora 17.

Iv 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 (when installing to partition 2) to install grub on partition 1, and that works fine.

I have an existing Windows 7 GPT installation, which already has a EFI System partition.

I am now trying to install a Linux on a separate harddisk, which is also GPT formatted. I did not find any working way to get grub booting without EFI system partition, so my question is:

Is it possible for grub2 to use the same EFI System partition as windows?

I first noticed an issue when trying to install Linux Mint 14 as a third OS alongside Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 7 - I was unable to create another partition to install Mint to.

Poking around, I realised that I had reached the limit of primary partitions: (from left to right of the table) 1) a ~100 MB primary partition that I meant to use for storing Grub files but never got down to, 2) a 25 GB ext

I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Fedora 16. On my Windows side I had 4 NTFS partitions - C, D, E, F. On Fedora 16 side it had a single ext2 partition. Now since I was out of space in C partition of windows so I decided to delete the F partition and extend the C partition. I used windows partition tool for this purpose. But when I rebooted I got the grub prompt screen.

So I just got a new Asus U47A laptop running windows 8.
