[ubuntu] Triple boot (win7, Ubuntu and Mint) failed

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – After already having a dual boot (win7 and Ubuntu) I wanted to add Mint. During installation from flash, the install had an error while configuring the HDD partition and apparently deleted a partition and GRUB. I downloaded "repair-boot" and let it run. Now GRUB doesn't even show. The comp boots only into win7. No GRUB at all. Here's the fix/pasted file http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115527/. Did I wipe my Ubuntu distro? Is it still there? I would still like to do the triple boot. Is there help?:confused: (Hardware)

hello all, well , I made a real bonehead move today. I had pc set up to boot Mint, Ubuntu and win7. Ubuntu and Win7 on a SSD and Mint on seperate 1 TB HD , I also have a 2TB storage drive.

Dual boot system, Win XP and Ubuntu 11 with Grub, working fine. Update from 11.10 to 12.04 runs smooth, at end I reboot. At boot, Grub menu won't appear, I get: error: out of partition grub rescue>

Tried the boot-repair disk.

Hi all,

I'm new to Ubuntu and I've installed Ubuntu desktop 12.10 in my Satellite L300D, alongside with Win7. While the Ubuntu installation seems to be just fine, I can't boot Win7. When I choose the "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" it changes to a black screen for 1 second and then it returns to GRUB.

I've tried the Boot Repair solution but it didn't work.

If you’re running on ubuntu and want to install Windows 7 without burning a disc,you can try following steps to install Windows 7 with the iso file.

Hello, I've just tried upgrading Ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10, when the system restarted the "grub rescue" prompt was displayed. I've tried booting into ubuntu through a live usb, installed boot repair and run it, but I am getting the following

Hi,

I wanted to dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu 12.04LTS. So, I installed Win7 first. Then I installed Ubuntu 12.04LTS, using the "side by side" option and it went through fine and I got the grub loader asking for which i wanted to boot.

Then, there was around 100gb or unallocated space which I made as a partition of windows.
