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.

Apr 24, 2010I upgraded my ubuntu to 10.4 the other night. Everything went well and 10.4 worked great. However, I tried to boot up Windows this morning and found that after selecting XP from the grub menu, all I got was a black screen. I can access the drive from linux and can save the music and photos I store on the HD with windows, I'm afraid I was not paying enough attention during the upgrade (late night!) when I got to the point where I was asked about installing grub on various drives and I may have installed it over the mbr/pbr? on the windows hd. Does anyone have an guess what I might have done?
Here is the output from fdisk -l
Ubuntu :: Windows Won't Boot After 10.4 Upgrade?
May 8, 2010I have a 64-bit dual-boot system. During the Ubuntu upgrade4, the installer crashed. GRUB shows the new Ubuntu installation and the default boot item is Windows 7, but Windows won't start.I have a Windows backup (Acronis) but afer I select any option from the Acronis CD options menu, the keyboard and mouse are no longer recognized. The keyboard and mouse are fine and work as expected when attached to a notebook computer.The computer has 4 internal hard drives and one external USB drive. I have tried changing the boot order with the hope that Windows would start, but have had no luck.sda1 = 1.00TB = "System Reserved" - Ubuntu (105GB), Windows (316GB), Data3 (579GB), Ext4 (46), Swap (8GB),
Ext4 (52GB)
sdb1 = 1.50TB = Data2 (734GB), Media (766GB)
sdc1 = 0.25TB = Internal Backup (250GB)

Ubuntu :: Cannot Drag Windows Since Upgrade
May 3, 2011Since upgrading from Maverick to Natty (and re-enabling Desktop Cube/Cube Rotation in Compiz) I am unable to drag windows any more. I'm sure this'll be diagnostically useful; if I use the window context menu/drop-down and select Move, that also does nothing. Also, the window resize hovers do nothing, but the double-click full size|restore/middle and right click the maximize gadget to horizontally|vertically maximize do work. Further, the window management shortcuts to move windows do nothing. If I turn off Desktop Cube/Cube Rotation and go back to Wall/Expo, I still can't move windows using any of the methods mentioned in my previous update.

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.

Jan 3, 2010I recently upgraded to win7 (home premium 64bit) from win vista and everything went well. But when i was installing ubuntu i noticed that win vista was taking up part of the C drive (like 10 gigs!) (i saw this in the part of the instalation where you set the ubuntu partition.) SO anyway i was wondering if anyone knew a way to completely get rid of the vista kernel and free up that space its taking up.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Upgrade - Missing Windows Control Buttons?
May 2, 2010After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 I lost my windows control buttons (minimize, maximize, close)
Code:
metacity --replace
Command works to restore my buttons but I've got a couple problems
1. I have to leave this terminal open permanently. If I try to close it (and "kill" the process) not only do I lose my windows controls but my keyboard stops working entirely.
2. Have to put this in every time I log back in.
Is there a better solution for restoring my windows control buttons (i.e., one that doesn't require me to open a terminal every time I log in?)
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 :: Windows VISTA Won't Boot After 10.4 Upgrade?

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Unusable White Windows After Upgrade To Natty
May 2, 2011I have never been more diappointed in the new user experience after an os upgrade. No, not even Vista was this diappointing. Unity just isn't for me. That's ok, I can just stick to Ubuntu Classic. As for the problem: I cannot use many of my applications. When I launch something, Firefox for example, all I see is a window filled with white. There is a title bar and nothing else. Sometimes, if I am really lucky, switching to something else then coming back fixes it. Usually it does not fix it, and can even cause other apps to go all white. This has happened in every app I have tried (I have tried a lot of them). It also happened under both Unity and Gnome.
My normal web browsers have not worked once since I upgraded. In general, the applications that seem to work most often are simpler ones. I am writing this post using w3m since it was the only way I could get this box online now... Does anyone have any advice for fixing this problem? This is not the first time I have been burned by a X.04 release. I might have to reinstall maverick...
