http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello All, I currently have a dual-boot system handled by GRUB. Windows 7 and BT5. I have posted a picture taken in gparted of my partition table. I would like to take space from the Windows partition and add it to the BT5 partition. Then I think I would have to create a Logical Volume in the extended BT partition and Install Ubuntu there. Not really to sure what do and would like some tips/help before I screw things up, I currently love my setup but need that Ubuntu partition to play with all the mainstream apps created for it. Oh and can anyone tell me what that 1.50MB partition is betw (Hardware)

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.

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

I have a machine running ubuntu 12.04 and windows 8 on dual boot.

I had installed Lubuntu on a PC with Windows XP and used dual boot for some time with no problems.

Since I had almost abandoned Windows (kept it for printing...) I decided to resize its ntfs partition and add the free space to my Ubuntu space.

Tried that with a gparted stick and a live cd but would not work due to an issue related to the ntfs partition: gparted signaled with a red exclamation po

I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu 13.04 on my MacBook and despite selecting the same partition as the Ubuntu root partition to install the bootloader, it installs Grub to the EFI partition under /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi. The EFI partition is being mounted by Ubuntu under /boot/efi.

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?

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.
