Ubuntu :: Installed After Windows7 - Can't Return To Windows 7

Oct 16, 2010

I have a Asus EEE PC 1005HA netbook, which I use with Windows 7. I've been abroad for the last 2 weeks, and when I came back I found out my younger brother has installed Ubuntu on it.

When I asked him he told me it's no problem, and he didn't overwrite Windows, just installed on another partition.

However, I'm trying to get back to my original operating system and I have no idea how. Obviously, he has none either as he is just an impulsive 15 year old.

I'd like to either uninstall ubuntu and return to my windows OS, or just choose at boot time which OS I want to access (I don't really mind having a linux onboard, I assume it has it's merits).

Ubuntu Installation :: Fix Non Booting Windows7 Partition After I Installed 10.04?

Apr 17, 2010

I installed 10.04 and Grub won't boot into Windows7. I attempted to fix the problem through several different methods and nothing worked and I fear I made the booting problem worse than it was to begin with. I can boot into Ubuntu just fine, just not Windows7. Black screen with a cursor upper left hand. Windows7 repair disk does not help and using Windows7 command line repairs did nothing.

So here is an idea I came up with: Is there any way I can back up the Windows partition exactly the way it is, reinstall Windows7, and then somehow lay down all that information directly over the install to make it exactly like it was?

I doubt it is that simple, but is that possible? Like basically unhiding all the hidden files, copying them into a folder on my Ubuntu installation, reinstalling Windows7 and just copying them all back?

General :: Partition Lost After Win7 Installed

Jul 28, 2011

I have a PC, with 1 HD of 500GB and the following partitions:
Windows XP - NTFS 50 GB
Windows 7 - NTFS 350 GB
Linux Ubuntu - 98 GB
Linux swap - 2GB

The last OS that I have installed was Windows 7, and each time, when I started up my PC, I saw GRUB first, and after choosing the option to load windows, the Windows loader giving me 2 options, one for Windows 7 and one for Windows XP. I didn't like to see first GRUB and after that the windows loader, it was redundant, but everything was working well. One day, I decided to mix the windows 7 and the windows XP partitions (deleting the windows XP and resizing windows 7). I tried to do that with the Windows 7 utility included in the control panel but I couldn't. It said that I couldn't delete the active partition or something like that. It was not possible to delete the partition in which WinXP was stored.

Then, I decided to boot with Ubuntu and use the partitioning tool that comes with it to delete the WinXP partition. It was possible to delete the partition, and I also putted the option "bootable" on the 350GB Windows 7 partition. After that, I rebooted and it was not possible to load windows. Then I tried changing in GRUB the entry for Windows, because I thought if I could put the correct partition to load from, it wouldn't be more problems. I tried several times but I couldn't load windows, so I putted the Windows 7 DVD and I started the installation process, waiting to see an option saying that there was already a system in the partition of 350GB, and allowing me to fix the mbr in that partition.

My surprise was when I choose the partition of 350GB and the installation process began. I was afraid of to lose my data then I decided to reset the computer! And now, all my 350GB disk is gone! I can't see the partition when I enter with Ubuntu. I'm really worried about this, because the computer detects the 350GB partition as empty, and I don't know what to do! I turned off the computer and now I am using another to write this. I have all my files and important information in that partition! and It seems it's lost. I hope it's still possible to restore the partition. Actually I don't care if I have to install again my operating systems but I need my information!

General :: Sh Can't Find 'cc' When Gcc Has Already Been Installed?

Aug 9, 2010

I am trying to compile an android project, which requires GCC-4.3(mandatory, GCC-4.4 doesn't work). So I downgraded the gcc-4.4 on my ubuntu 10.04 to gcc-4.3.

But then the compiling process doesn't work. It says:
cc: command not found
make: *** [...] error 127

It's weird that the shell can't find 'cc' while I do have gcc-4.3 installed.
I've tried type the following command:
export CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.3"
but I don't know what's it for.

General :: How To Find Out What Options A Library Was Configured With When It Was Installed

Nov 24, 2010

Is there a way to find out with what options a library was configured with when it was installed? I am trying to install a library on my system that depends on gasnet and it requires me to configure it with the very same options that gasnet was configured with. Gasnet was not originally installed by me, so I cannot tell. I can see bin/, include/, lib/ and share/ directories in the gasnet folder and no other information in it. To be specific, I need to use the same CFLAGS that were used during installation of gasnet. For example, if it was installed using '-g -O2', I have to make sure I use the same CFLAGS here.

General :: How To Find All Files Not Part Of Installed Distro

May 19, 2011

I loaded a distro (which does not seem relevant) onto my laptop and used it for a while. Applications did whatever they do creating and saving files. I know that I have images and documents and videos and music and such on the laptop among other non-distro data files. Is there a simple (straightforward) way to identify which files on disk are NOT part of the installed distro? I know how to use find. I know that find lets me locate files based on some date-time-stamp. I know, too, that I can use any selected file as a benchmark date-time instead of some specific command line string.

For example:
Code:
Find files whose modification date is before (or after) the date(s) associated with the file /path/foo.bar.
Is there any one file that I could use to peg the distro install date? Can I get that date from somewhere else like a file system details?

Ubuntu :: Installed, Lost Windows Install?

May 5, 2010

Tonight I decided I would install Ubuntu on my laptop, which also has windows 7 installed on it.I have two hard drives in the laptop, one 160GB in the "primary" bay and a 320GB in the "secondary" bay. My partioning got a bit screwed up when in installed windows (mostly because of laziness on my part) and the Ubuntu install just made the mess even bigger. The way it was setup before the Ubuntu install was this:Windows has a 55GB partition on the 320GB drive (yeah for some reason i am booting from the secondary drive, hence the quotes).This partition is bootable.

Following the windows partition is a 255GB storage partion, NTFSThere was 37GB of unused space at the beginning of the 160GB driveThere is a 122GB storage partition, NTFSBoth dives have a 49MB dell utility partition, FATAs you can probably tell, I really butchered the partitioning when installing windows.I took the 37GB partition on the first disk and split it into a 33GB partition for Ubuntu and a 4ish GB partition for the swapfile.After Ubuntu was installed it worked fine, but I cannot see the windows install in GRUB.This brings me to my question: How can I make GRUB see my windows install that is on a separate hard drive than the Ubuntu install?I know I could resolve the issue by wiping everything and doing it properly, but I really dont want to have to do this if there is an easy fix that will let me boot windows again.All of the windows files and whatnot are still there because I can see them from inside Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Installed XP-SP3 On Second HD, Lost Ability To Boot?

Sep 6, 2010

I've been running Jaunty on my drive D: with XP Professional on a separate partition. Today I formatted a different drive, C:, which had previously shown up in GRUB as XP Home Edition, and placed a new XP Professional on it.

Now when both HDs are connected, C: boots without GRUB starting, and when I disconnect C:, the GRUB on D: starts, but cannot find the XP Professional NTDLR. I don't want to take up too much of anyone's time here with this; I'm mostly just curious as to what may have happened?

Ubuntu :: Kubuntu 9.10 Installed - Lost Tty1 To 6

Feb 22, 2010

I've installed up a copy of Kubuntu 9.10. I want to use it to play eve online and replace my copy of windows. So far I have managed to get it installed, got the video drivers and wine sorted, and got eve online to work with wine. I'm quite happy with myself up until odd things started to happen. Basically, I want to recompile my Nvidia driver to a newer version, I know how to do this, I need to press ctrl alt F1 to drop to terminal, kill kde and then install the driver, i've done it before without issue. However this time around something is wrong. I press ctrl alt F1 and the black terminal window pops up... but I have no option to log in, same for terminals 2 - 6.

I did this, and sure enough none of my tty processes are showing, i've basically lost my terminals , as far as my limited experience goes, getty is responsible for the terminals right? How do I reinstate my terminals and get to a point I can kill kde and get back to shell? I have no idea what i've done to get in this state. Also, as a side question, before all got screwed up and i did manage to launch eve online, I could run one client perfectly. However with 2 clients things got all choppy and laggy? why is this? I can run 2 quite happily under windows 7
