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.
I have recently installed Windows 7 AFTER having installed Ubuntu 9.10. When I reboot, the computer loads directly to Windows with no option to select an operating system after POST. I've been following the following guide:
Hi everyone,
I got ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx along with windows (dual boot) and using Grub.
On my computer, I have my C:/ (programs) and D:/ (data).
I've never used my D:/ before that day that I've lost my windows partition on my grub menu.
I usually use my D:/ with windows. The first time I used my D:/ to store data with linux, I lost my windows option in my grub menu.
I'm trying to restore Grub to boot Linux Mint 13 and Windows 7. I just installed Windows 7, which rewrote the MBR, and then I was told I could simply boot Ubuntu live cd, install boot-repair, and reinstall grub over the MBR. I went through the installation, using the option to purge the old grub, but it failed, asking me to run some terminal commands to uninstall grub.
Having installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 by wubi from XP I cant boot to start Ubuntu. The install app let me 2 options in windows loader. 1.- Windows Xp Professional. and 2.- Ubuntu. If I acces the frist option I get access to Windows Xp correctly but if select 2.
I've bought new laptop Sony Vaio E14P series. It has pre-installed Windows 8, and I want to dual boot it with Ubuntu 12.10 64bit. I have diabled secure boot and install Ubuntu without any problem from live USB.
When I reboot after installation, it directly boot to windows 8, dont load GRUB at all. So I went to live USB again to boot-repair.
Ive been running a dual boot set up with Vista for a while (I usually mess things up when I update suse :P)
I left boot options at the default which was my initial mistake, but basically i think grub was installed at the mbr. In other words i didnt have the windows boot menu.
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 have been trying to set up a dual boot ubuntu for a couple of days with no luck.
With a clean machine, installing Windows 7 and then Ubuntu 11.10, on reboot, I do not get a grub menu, instead it goes straight into Windows.
I tried installing Fedora 16 which worked as expected (Grub menu with Windows and Fedora options).
Formatting the Fedora partition and re-installing Ubuntu over it gi
