Stories similar to Wubi - Ubuntu 10.04.1 Installation

An year and a half ago, I installed Ubuntu on my computer using Wubi. After a while I decided to install Ubuntu on a separate partition. So I uninstalled the Ubuntu using Wubi, and installed Ubuntu on a separate partition by booting from the Ubuntu ISO.

Though Wubi uninstalled Ubuntu from my Windows partition it did not remove the option in the boot menu.

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 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... i see a dual boot option in grub menu... now sometimes i log in to windows 8 for some tasks.

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.

I have a computer with windows 7, windows xp, and ubuntu. The problem is I can't boot xp. Whenever I try, I get a black screen. I would like to be able to boot from xp, 7, or ubuntu from grub

Here is what I have done: 1) Installed XP 2) Used gparted to shrink xp partition and installed ubuntu 3) Used gparted to shirnk xp partition and installed windows 7

I have installed Ubuntu using the Windows installer (on Windows XP), but when I reboot the computer I do not get the Ubuntu / Windows boot manager menu. It just goes straight into the normal Windows start up procedure. How can I get this menu and boot Ubuntu?

Any suggestions on how to fix this are appreciated.

[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 have a second machine where Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian Squeeze are installed on the same HD and when I boot, I have this grub menu where I can choose which partition I will used. It works perfectly!
