I have dual boot configured with Windows 7 (32bit) and Ubuntu 12.04(64bit). I installed Ubuntu after windows, now my windows is corrupt due to some virus and I need to reinstall it. Currently when I start my PC, grub loader comes up and I need to select Ubuntu or Windows.
I was wondering how can I install windows again and still have my Ubuntu install?

I have Asus G46vw notebook pre-installed with Windows 8 and Secure Boot.
I want to dual boot W8 with Ubuntu 12 and use Secure Boot.
In order to actually have the BIOS recognise the USB drives to boot from ( Have to USB boot ) I have no choice but to disable Secure Boot and enable CSM in the BIOS.

I've a ASUS N56VZ with Intel Core i7 - 3610QM, with Win 7 Home Premium x64 pre-installed. This computer come with EFI instead of the traditional BIOS.
When I bought it, I had 3 visible partitions.
I just bought an HP Pavilion P7-1234 and I have never installed a Linux OS before, and I cannot get the Ubuntu install to even start. At boot up I put the install CD in and it won't start, I try to change the boot order to CD/DVD (I don't even know if it changed the boot order or if I can even change it at all)still won't start.
Hey everyone. I am having a little trouble installing Ubuntu 12.04 to dual boot with Windows 7. I have tried it two ways. I have tried to install it using Wubi, but when i boot it, i get stuck at a GRUB prompt. I have also tried to install it using a USB stick.
Replaced my crashed HDD with a Seagate 2TB Sata (bought from a company who pulled it from a working computer, OS unknown) and did a fresh install of Windows 7. Windows shows 100MB boot partition (bootable NTFS) and 200GB Windows partition (NTFS), the rest is unallocated. Win7 Disk Management says the partitioning type is Master Boot Record. Win7 boots and runs fine.
So I had the perfect Ubuntu 12 / Windows 7 dual boot set-up -- until I had to re-install Windows 7.
After the deed, GRUB2 was of course wiped out, thus my Ubuntu installation is rendered inaccessible.
I have tried these steps:
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt #This is where my Ubuntu installation resides.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot #Indicated by the `*` under `Boot` when doing `fdisk -l`
mount --bind /mnt
