http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a Dell Inspiron dual-booting ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 7. So yesterday I was derping around on ubuntu and decided to shut it down. Upon turning it back on, I was greeted with the normal dual-boot menu. I scrolled down until ubuntu was selected then I pressed enter to boot it, but the only thing that came up was a command line that says "Grub." Please note that I am an absolute noob so I dont know anything about this. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP MEEEEE. ;/ (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Ubuntu crash... Wont BOOT!!! ;(

Hey guys, I've just got a new Dell Inspiron I14-2530p with native Windows 8, and decided to install Ubuntu for a dual boot.

I had to change the bios settings to Legacy instead of UEFI Secure Boot (I don't know very well what that means, but was the only way I found to boot from the CD-ROM). I've used an old live CD I had for Ubuntu 9.10.

The booting went fine, and so did the installation.

[ubuntu] Grub/boot menu help 37 weeks 6 days ago

I haven't ran Ubuntu since 10.04 and was dual-booting with Vista. I recently decided to upgrade both. The problem is that my boot menu still says Vista and Ubuntu 10.04 when it is really suppose to be 7 and 12.04. The normal solution of what I've done in the past was use the command /etc/default/grub and edit it in the text file.

I am trying to use the wubi installation process to create a Ubuntu 12.04 / Windows 7 dual boot setup on my Windows 7 machine (Dell Inspiron 17R). The installation initially works fine, and I am able to load Ubuntu several times after selecting it from the boot menu.

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.

my ubuntu 11.0 wont boot up 1 year 10 weeks ago

Long story but it began on windows 7, it would slow down, then freeze, then crash, i would restart the computer and sometimes it would say "no OS detected" so i recovered it. when i did that i was still running into problems, so i just loaded ubuntu as a dual boot.

I have Ubuntu and Vista in a dual installation on my PC hard drive. This has worked well until today. When I try to boot Ubuntu it starts to boot then I get a grey screen with Dell repeated 8 times across the top(my PC is a dell Vostro 200). My curser disappears so there is no way to move on.

I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my PC which is running Windows 7. I downloaded the iso and burnt it to disk then booted Ubuntu off the disk and selected the "install along side current operating system" option. After the installation I was unable to boot either Windows 7 or ubuntu.

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.

i used ubuntu for a along time as the only thing i do from the computer is watching movies and browsing internet. for my exam purposes i have to use this application call "bpp ipass" which only run in windows, so i installed windows while having ubuntu and recoverd the grub using "boot-repair" by booting a usb stick.
