http://ubuntuforums.org – 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? Part of the problem is that Grub is setup to boot from that second drive when it's plugged in. Here's my boot info summary: => Syslinux MBR (3.61-4.03) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda. => Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and l (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Grub issue 36 weeks 2 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 wanted to set up Ubuntu on an external usb hard drive. So I did that. Got it all installed on the external drive with a boot CD, but it set it up as a dual boot on my computer.

I cannot boot into Linux or Windows now.

I did the boot repair but every time I turn my computer on it goes to Windows then into recovery mode and I went through that and it still brings me back.

I can only get in Ubuntu through the live disc.

This is my paste:

Boot Info Script 0.61.full + Boot-Repair extra info [Boot-Info August 2nd 2012]

============================= Boot Info Summ

This is my situation:

I Installed Ubuntu without a CD (using A USB) Dual boot installation (Windows 7+Ubuntu) I did not like the installation and decided to boot into Windows and delete the Linux partitions, but I forgot to fix the mbr from within Windows.

Now, when I boot, I am stuck in the GRUB rescue limbo.

How can I boot into Windows from GRUB rescue?

I cannot boot from CD because I don't

How to Repair Grub 24 weeks 4 days 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.

I tried to delete old ubuntu on dual-boot via win7 to get more win space (partition had non-ajacent NTFS free disk partitions and woldn't allow me to move in either gparted or win) and reinstalled ubuntu with alongside windows selected. I left about 1/2 NTFS and 1/2 ext3 before reinstalling ubuntu.

Hi all, Recently got a new Dell XPS15 laptop. The laptop came with Windows 8 by default (no provided installation media). Have been having some real difficulties with dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.
