http://ubuntuforums.org – Hy, EDIT: I had a copy of the old bootloader (thankfully ^.^) I copied that into /dev/sdb2 and now burg found everything. now ill try if it boots correctly I know a ton of People have similar problems, but every problem is just a bit different; I had Windows 7 installed (on /dev/sdb2 for some strange reason) and /dev/sdb1 contained a windows 7 bootloader. I decided to install Xubuntu 11.10 to /dev/sdc. After rebooting, it directly started xubuntu. I installed the BURG bootloader, however it doesnt find my Win7 partition... I cant mount /dev/sdb/ manually aswell, it throws the error Code (Hardware)

I'm very sorry if this has been asked before, but I cannot find a relevant post that could help me.

Here's the problem:

Windows 7 seems to be able to boot from it's own HDD and bootloader, but then when trying to run it through grub or burg it goes back to post from the windows logo.

It also gets detected as Windows 8, and I haven't installed that ever.

Hi, new to the forum and fairly new to Ubuntu here. I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed alongside Windows 8 on a GPT disk. I installed BURG because I like having everything look nice. But whenever I boot up the computer, grub2 loads instead of burg.

Hi guys! I'm new at this wonderful distro and linux in general. I know a bit UNIX based system by my experience with mac OSX.

I've seen some great screenshot of the BURG bootloader and tryed to install it myself via Fedora 18 following this and this. Anyway, i'm not having nice times with.

Installing BURG on 12.10 25 weeks 4 days ago

A while back I was dual booting win 7 and 12.04 and had BURG running just fine. A couple months later I messed up my 12.04 partition and decided the easiest way to fix the problem would be to install 12.10. I did that and now I cannot seem to find a way to get burg reinstalled.

My question is has anyone done it successfully? If so, could you please help me get that set up?

Everything went fine but when i run sudo burg-emu instead of showing burg theme it shows

So I'm having some problems...

Yesterday, when I booted my computer I got the Grub loading... screen, then my BIOS in an infinite loop. I was able to use boot repair to fix this and boot into both OSes.

Today I decided to install Burg again, but this time I installed Super Boot Manager and attempted to install that way. I was able to do so...

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and few minutes ago I tried to install burg according to http://www.overclock.net/t/1251224/guide-installing-burg-and-super-boot-... I did it till the line burg-emu and there I saw this minimal bash-like line editing is supported.

Published at LXer:

Burg-manager is an intuitive interface that simplify installation and configuration of burg bootloader. Burg-manager allows to install Burg and many beautiful themes from a big gallery.

At first, Windows 7 was the only OS in the drive.

Then I installed MINT. Accidentally, I formated the sda1 partition (where the windows 7 bootloader was stored) as ext4, being the mount point of /boot.
