Stories similar to [ubuntu] ubuntu 11.10 not booting..

I have multiple HDDs and one contains Ubuntu, other OSs and GRUB v2(?).

Anyway, I usually select through the BIOS boot menu which HDD I want to boot to and I noticed a problem when booting to my drive with GRUB on it.

I am new to Linux. I recently installed Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 onto my portable hard drive. Much to my surprise, it installed half of GRUB to the PC, and half to the PHDD. The PC does not belong to me. GRUB got removed from the PC, but that's not the issue. I want to be able to boot Ubuntu from my PHDD on any PC.

I formerly had windows 7 without ubuntu. Now I upgraded it to windows 8..then I installed ubuntu 12.10 with live disk.

After installing it runs ok and I see a dual boot option in grub menu. Now sometimes I log in to windows 8 for some tasks.

How to Repair Grub 24 weeks 8 hours ago

Yesterday I installed ubuntu 12.04.1.

Note : its a dual boot system along windows 7

At first grub was appearing and i was able to start ubuntu but then i had to switch to windows but windows was not booting when i select windows 7 it jumps back to grub window. So i fix the Windows Boot Loader using repair from windows media and wolla windows started to boot but Ubuntu Grub gone.

When I installed Ubuntu onto my second harddrive, that had Crunchbang on it, I overwrote Crunchbang and could no longer boot my machine.

So, Boot Repair Disk to the rescue...AND I got Windows back up and booting, but without a dual-boot.

How do I get Ubuntu back into the boot-up list? Do I wipe the Ubuntu drive and start over?

Hello everyone.

Ok, I attempted a fresh Ubuntu install as I was having some internal system errors. When a simple "re-installation" didn't fix anything, I performed a "delete Ubuntu 13.04 and reinstall" from the boot USB.

That's when it all began. First I had a grub problem, where all I got at boot was the Grub Recovery. So I booted my windows recovery and repaired it.

[ubuntu] Grub issue 35 weeks 4 days ago

Hi everyone,

I'm having some problems with setting up a dual boot. The setup I have is as followed:

Windows 7 installed on one disk drive (sda) Ubuntu 12.4 installed on my second disk drive (sdb)

If I boot off the second disk drive I get the grub menu which has the option to boot either ubuntu or windows.

I just installed a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 and during install selected to have grub put on it's own partition for the boot device since I use the Windows 7 boot manager for my booting. I also boot Ubuntu version 10.04 with the 7 and 12.04. I use Easy BCD to configure the boot menu, and did add in my new 12.04, but when I select it to boot it re-directs to the 10.04 grub menu.
