Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot - Windows 7/10.4 - No Windows Now After Upgrade
Apr 30, 2010I just did an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and now I can't boot into Windows 7 on this dual boot desktop. I usually do a clean install but with a laptop and desktop a copy of Windows 7 and Ubuntu on each machine it's getting very tiring with 4 os's so opted for the upgrade this time.
During the installation there was a window that game up about upgrading grub and what devices to install it on. The help box was not very complete and seemed to say to click all the check boxes which included the main drive and it's partitions including windows. During the install somewhere it said something like grub could not be installed on one of the devices which I think was sda6 which is probably the Windows 7 partition.
So how would I get the option of booting into Windows 7 on startup as now I only get a blank black screen when I click on the Windows 7 option upon bootup? I hope I don't have to reinstall one or both os's again from scratch as this is becoming to much work to do on two systems every 6 months, especially with the amount of programs I have installed.

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Access Windows 7 After Upgrade To 10.04
May 9, 2010I seem to be having an issue with my system. I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 yesterday and I have to reboot into Windows 7 to do some coursework for school. I just tried to do this, and when I select Windows 7 from the list at the Grub2 splash screen, it goes blank for a bit and jumps me back to the Grub menu. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, like somehow install Grub to /dev/sda1 during the upgrade, but if that's the case, how do I remove it? I tried to do a sudo update-grub but that did not work. It found Windows 7, but on the reboot it still went back to the menu. Is this a Grub or Windows issue?

May 9, 2010I just upgraded to 10.04 and now all I'm getting is a flashing cursor when I try to boot Windows in Grub. I can load the Windows partition in linux no probs so I know it's all ok, although I'm going to backup before I try anything risky!
Anyway I've had a look around and can see people who've had the same prob but only really with Windows Vista and 7. So... just trying to figure if there's anyway of getting grub to load WindowsXP properly!?
I've run boot_info_script055.sh which was recommended for one of the Win7 answers and posted the output below.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Upgrade - Grub2 And Windows Partitions
May 7, 2010I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 (no fresh install, an upgrade). During the upgrade, the installer asked me for the harddisks and partitions to include. I gave him the following ones:
Harddisk 1
1. Windows XP
2. Windows 2000
Harddisk 2
3. Ubuntu 10.04
After the installation was complete, I could only start Ubuntu. Both Windows versions just showed a flashing cursor at the left upper top screen. No HDD activity! How can I get WinXP and Win2000 selectable within grub2?
Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From 9.x To 10.04, Now Fails To Load Windows 7?

Jun 5, 2010After the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.4 I'm not able to boot on my Windows Vista any more.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Boot Windows XP (separate HDD) After Upgrade To 10.04
Jun 15, 2010Basically, as the topic reads, I normally run Windows XP, and installed Ubuntu on a new HDD this week (Karmic). However, realising later that there was a new release, I just upgraded through the network, completely ignorant of their being anything wrong with this (Windows drive still being connected at this time). Now Ubuntu boots fine, but when I select Windows through the GRUB set-up, it just displays a black screen with the '_' cursor blinking and goes no further.
I have absolutely no clue how to fix this, reading through various forum posts and messing with the boot command (or whatever you call it when you push 'e' at the GRUB screen) all day to no avail. One of the things I've download was the Boot_Info_Script, so hopefully someone out there can gleam some information on how the heck I can solve this issue and boot XP once again (hopefully without having to just blow away one or both of the OS's and doing a completely clean install). If there's anything I can do to provide any further required information, My RESULTS.txt:

Ubuntu Installation :: Windows Not Booting From GRUB2 After Upgrade?
Jul 18, 2010My girlfriend upgraded from Karmic 9.10 to Lucid 10.04 when the upgrade became available. She did it from Update Manager as opposed to a clean install.
I have no idea what she did, or how the process works (I installed from a Live CD on my own computer) and ever since she did it, she hasn't been able to boot into Windows XP from GRUB2.
GRUB2 loads up fine, with Ubuntu and Windows listed. It'll boot into Ubuntu with no problems. Selecting Windows will just re-load GRUB2.
I've tried re-installing GRUB2 but that hasn't worked. My lack of imagination means I have no idea what to type in to Google, or the forum search.

Jun 6, 2010I just upgraded to 10.04. I went with the option of upgrading grub as well, should of just stuck with the old one I guess. I have 2 seperate physical hard drives, and now I can't get vista running on my other drive. I get to grub, choose the run vista option, and now it just blinks one underscore line in the top left corner of the black screen, and goes nowhere. When I was installing the upgrade, and when I got to the grub upgrade i tried to upgrade all teh different options in grub. All of them worked except the last one, and it warned me, that one of boot options in grub didn't install properly and may cause my OS not to start up. I guess that must of been the vista option.

Sep 10, 2010I just upgraded my 9.10 on my laptop to 10.04. I seems to have gone well except for one annoying problem. when I boot up I get a large X for the mouse pointer instead of the normal arrow. When I start an application it will not go to full screen and there are no close/minimise/maximise options. Nor can I get to the top or bottom menu bars.
I can cure this on a temporary basis by right-clicking on the desktop and changing the visual effects from none to normal. The problem is that it does not stick. Each time I boot up I have to make this change.
Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot And Anytime Upgrade For Windows

Second Question - Under the chance that I have data loss once setting up my Ubuntu-Windows 7 Dual boot system, will I lose my anytime upgrade, and is it re-usable?

Apr 9, 2011I've currently got a dual-boot setup with Vista and 10.10 (using grub2 on MBR).I'm about to install Windows 7 and would like for a change to use the Windows bootloader. I currently have a separate /boot partition and believe I can install grub2 there so that I can chainload it using EasyBCD.
I'd like to do this from my running system as I don't have a spare USB drive right now. confirm the command I should use baring in mind the separate /boot.If I have to wait and do it from the Live CD - is the command to use any different? FYI here is my current layout:

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Upgrade - With Image #22 And Unable To Boot Windows
May 17, 2010I recently performed a reinstall of ubuntu after mucking up my partitions, and I am running it dual booted with windows 7.
I recently performed a grub-pc update, but I didn't know what it was asking me to do during the process itself of updating the process.
It asked me at one point where to install grub, and I selected all my partitions because it suggested that if I didn't know. I think that may have damaged my windows section, which was also selection.
I've attached the output for:

Problem symptoms:
1) Weird upgrade error in apt-get
2) Unable to boot windows 7
3) Unable to activate proprietary drivers
4) Perpetually being reminded to restart

Fedora Installation :: 10 Upgrade / Installation Failing On Presario F700 Laptop
May 29, 2009I've tried to upgrade my FC8 on Presario F700 series laptop to FC 10 and facing some issues. I've a live CD (i386). Initially i tried upgrading FC 8 to FC 10 and installation was stuck around 30% completion saying its unable to fins libdbi-0.8.3-1.fc9.i386.rpm. Then I tried to install FC 10 from scratch as system went to inconsistent state and faced two issues with two different setup options -
1) when i selected necessary software to be installed for office use and development, it failed after installing 20% saying libgnomeui-devel-2.24.0-2.fc10.i386.rpm
2) i then opted for for software to be installed for office use (default option) then it failed after installing around 50% saying libXrandr-1.2.3-1.fc10.i386.rpm
im trying to understand if this is a problem due to my laptop configuration (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Duel Core) or due to issue with the live CD.
