I've done something stupid.
When I first installed Ubuntu, things went mostly fine, the machine had Windows 7 installed already and I wanted to add Ubuntu.
EFI made a bit of a mess of things, long story short I booted into a live session and used boot-repair to fix GRUB for me.
This made GRUB list 4 Windows boot alternatives and the usual two Ubuntu options.
Then I did something stupid.
I have a dual boot set up right now with Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. I booted into a live, loaded up GParted, and had to futz around with partition sizes, which had already been established, as I'm trying to back up and move some stuff around. Now, having completed the movement and resizing of partitions, Windows 7 displayed Error: 0cx0000225, missing device, or something along those lines.
So, I don't know what exactly how I managed to delete the MBR record on windows partition. But let me explain what I did next, I ran the ubuntu boot repair tool and now Windows is not even listed in my grub loader.
So I went and booted with windows cd and choose repair. Then I ran ubuntu boot repair again via live cd. Here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1426181/. Still no luck.
I downloaded a copy of Ubuntu 64-bit OS iso images and booted up in the thumb drive. I then created a live USB using Unetbootin. I then booted the live USB up in non EFI mode and installed Ubuntu in a separate partition so that I could have 2 Operating System on my computer.
But I could not get the dual boot option.
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've installed Ubuntu using a USB
The grub menu then would not load, so I followed:
To reinstall GRUB:
Make a new Ubuntu Live CD and Boot from it.
Install boot-repair using these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
boot-repair
At this point, I have a grub menu that comes up, and I can load windows (though there
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.
Hi!
I have a Lenovo U410 on which I would like to dual-boot Ubuntu 13.04.
I've run it up on a live flash drive, everything works OK.
When it comes to the actual install I'm a bit nervous as although I'm fairly competent with both Linux and Windows, I've never had a machine with SSD/HDD in a "false" raid like this before, it's only two months old, and I've never had a machine whe
Sorry, I have double posted the same topic, But it was in the wrong section.
