Okay, here is the deal. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 in October or so, so that it would dual boot on my laptop along with Windows Vista. I haven't had any problems with the set up since then. It would boot using the Windows boot loader which I noted was different from my desktop which would use Grub.
I have dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows Vista on separate partitions. I want to update Vista to Windows 8, buy I'm worried that I can mess up something.
How should I prepare for the update?
How to recover dual boot both to Ubuntu and Windows after update to Windows 8?
Hi guys,
I have a dual-boot machine, with Vista and Fedora 11, which is working great. I use GRUB as the boot manager, as Fedora was installed after Vista. So far, so good..
My university courses use almost exclusively unix environments, so I decided it would be a clever idea to dual boot my laptop with both Windows Vista (previously installed), and the most recent Ubuntu (11.10). I'll go into my procedure in a second, but the problem I'm having is that Vista now won't boot...
Ok, so I've been using Windows Vista for a while now and I felt like switching to Ubuntu. Although Ubuntu is fast, it is not for me. So, I found my old windows Vista Ultimate disc and thought "hey, why not re-install this! It is the best recommended gaming operating system... so why not!" I proceeded to insert the disc. after I found out it wont boot on my computer, but fine on my brothers.
Hi all,
I recently installed Precise next to my Vista. Now when I try to boot into Vista it attempts to load and then the bsod flashes and goes back to the grub loader. I then tried to boot into Precise and the boot just started to hang for a couple of minutes. It eventually gave me a screen notifying me that it could not locate /tmp.
OK, I have read for days and have tried many different ways, including reinstalling xp, then ubuntu a second time.
After I finish my Ubuntu install, grub runs at boot like it is supposed to.
Only grub displays Ubuntu, Ubuntu repair, memtest, and Vista recovery.
I have installed XP over the Vista partition, leaving the recovery partition alone for now. Then installed Ubuntu side by side.
I have virtually no experience with Ubuntu!
A customer has asked me to recover his data (created in Ubuntu). This on a Toshiba laptop with Win Vista dual boot. Whenever the option to boot to Ubuntu is taken then it hangs at "initranfs" and goes no further.
In my laptop I had Windows Vista. When Windows 8 Release Preview came, I installed it as dual boot. Now, I want to uninstall Win8 RP and install Ubuntu in its partition. I still want to keep Vista in its own partition. How can I do it? I have Vista and Win8 RP in separate partitions, and after Ubuntu installation, I want to have just Vista and Ubuntu in my boot menu. Please help
