Ubuntu :: Windows Vista Gone - When Restart - Does Not Give Me The Option For Windows
Oct 14, 2010I believe i no longer have Vista. I had installed 10.04 side by side with Vista. Now that we have 10.10 i wanted to do a fresh installation on my laptop. I wanted to do the same thing, install it side by side so what i did is i installed gparted and tried to erase/delete ubuntu 10.04 and leave windows on it. From what i remember, i did just that. I restarted my laptop and windows didnt come up...i got a grub error...i decided then to install ubuntu 10.10. i selected to install ubuntu side by side again with vista. During the installation, i received an error about a partition...i made a few clicks...after it was installing and it went smoothly.
Now when i restart my laptop...it does not give me the option for windows....how do i know if i still have windows on my laptop? According to Gparted i dont have it anymore...

Ubuntu :: Burn Compatibility With Windows (>64 Char)?
Jan 6, 2010I have found the wonder that is FLAC and am encoding CD's. My system at work is locked down so I found CoolPlayer++ to play FLAC which I intended to play from a DVD I created. I have collected my FLAC into collections that I want to burn to DVD for playback. So, I burn DVD in Ubuntu (9.04), files look and work great from within Linux. When I use in Windows all the folders and files are 8.3 format (major issue is that .FLAC are now .FLA and not recognized by CoolPlayer). However, if I use Windows compatibility then the FLAC filenames are truncated to 64 char (many are longer since they have track number, and full song names). Is there a way to keep longer than 64 and use in Windows?

Nov 21, 2010I've been trying to burn a windows 7 iso to a blank disc in ubuntu.
I've tried right click-write to disk, it writes it but the disc won't boot and when I look inside the disc there's no files present.
I tried doing it with cd creator and it gives me some messages like.
"Do you want to create a disc from the contents of the image or with the image file inside?"
"There is only one selected file
("xxxxxx.iso") It is the image of a disc and its contents can be burnt."
I click "burn as file"
Then I get a message saying "Do you really want to add "xxxxxx.iso to the selection and use the version of ISO9660 standard to support it"?
"the size of the file is over 2gb. Files larger than 2gb are not supported by iso9660 standard in its first and second versions. it is recommended to use the third version of iso9660 standard which is supported by most operating systems including linux and all versions of windows."
I click add file.
Then it starts "estimating the file size" It says please wait untill this operation is completed, but it never does, I left it for 2 hours.
I also tried burning with infra record in windows and get some error messages, and I also tried brasero in ubuntu with no success.
Ubuntu :: Burn Files To CD From A Windows Share?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSUSE :: Get The Option To Choose Windows Or The Installer At The Windows Boot Screen
Sep 16, 2010I'm new to linux, and I'm just trying to learn OpenSUSE. I just installed it and I have a few quick questions. #1 I accidentally installed the "OpenSUSE Installer (LOCAL)" on Windows 7, so now I get the option to choose windows or the installer at the windows boot screen. I ended up just installing OpenSUSE on a completely different HD (my original intent) from a burned DVD, so this installer is useless and I don't know how to remove it.
#2 After installing opensuse on my second HD, the boot screen is now SUSE's instead of Windows, and I can choose suse's desktop, the suse failsafe, windows 1, and windows 2. Windows 1 brings me to the windows boot screen with the choice i mentioned above (windows or the local installer i accidentally installed), and windows 2 i assume is my second windows partition which is just my SWAP file, and selecting it does nothing (which would make sense if thats all it is).
My question here is how do I make it so my default boot screen is the windows one with an option between windows 7 or suse? Or would this require reinstalling the system? If it does and its simple enough to explain please do I wouldnt mind removing it and reinstalling at this point, I would just wipe my whole second HD from windows.
#3 I have a netgear adapter. unfortunitly i'm not at home right now and I don't remember the model, so I'll provide that this evening if necessary. What I do know is they do not have a driver for linux. I've found ACX100, but I didn't find my netgear adapter listed on their website. I also found NDISWrapper, but thats for XP and I still don't know if that'll work. I will of course try both unless someone here has a better solution. If anyone knows anything that will work on any netgear adapter for linux please let me know, if not then I'll provide the model later on.

Jan 15, 2010Not sure how to explain so I'll jump right in, in 2 weeks i have to install windows for a class I'm taking, i've got a partition on my first HDD for this, i also have a partition on it for ubuntu, and one for storage. Windows 7 is installed on another HDD, and has its own partition there. Because I am going to be moving the drive with ubuntu 2 times a week, and I won't always have it,I want to leave my boot intact, and have my windows 7 boot menu show ubuntu as a choice, which then shows grub or w/e. grub is intact atm, but to get to ubuntu I have to reboot and unplug all my other drives, this gets old.
Neither OS knows of the other, i installed windows first, a month or 2 ago, then to make sure i didn't interfere with my main drive i unplugged it for the install of ubuntu. i assumed it would be as simple as opening a boot.ini file, copying the windows entry, and changing the hard drive to 0,2 but I've learned that windows 7 doesn't have such a file
Ubuntu :: Windows Boot Option Gone?
Apr 25, 2010I have an HTPC that dual boots Ubuntu 9.10 (upgraded from 9.04, so still using GRUB 1.x) and Windows (for Netflix duties). I recently rebooted the machine to watch some Netflix movies, only to discover that the GRUB menu no longer has an option to boot Windows.I imagine that this could have happened after an apt-get upgrade installing a new kernel; it has been a while since I rebooted the machine and could have missed it.

Nov 15, 2010I've been trying to add a printer that's hosted on a Windows XP machine to my Ubuntu/Crunchbang 9.04 laptop. It's been a suprisingly pain-filled process (I've done it before, and it took thirty seconds...), so here's a summary:
Somehow, the cups daemon wasn't running, but I fixed that by downgrading (sic) libgcrypt11.
I've tried both the samba and the samba4 packages.
Since before I started worrying about this, I got an error message while booting up that the winbind daemon had failed to load. I've tried reinstalling it, but that hasn't done anything.
Ubuntu Installation :: No Boot Option For Windows 7
Dec 17, 2010I'm in exactly the same sticky state. Was running my new Ubuntu 10.10 build alongside my original Windows 7 partition, but now the Windows 7 boot option has disappeared following a trip to the update manager Tried the Update Grub2 command to no avail. (e.g. sudo update-grub) What is weird is that I now have two Ubuntu boot options i.e.
"Ubuntu, with linux 2.6.35-23-generic"
"Ubuntu, with linux 2.6.35-23-generic" (Recovery Mode)
"Ubuntu, with linux 2.6.35-22-generic"
"Ubuntu, with linux 2.6.35-22-generic" (Recovery Mode)
"Memtest86+"
I ran the same boot_info_script from as per a similar post (and above) in the hope you wizened peeps may see something I clearly can't. p.s. I'm as noob as they come and fearful of most areas of linux at this point.

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Won't Give Windows Option
Jan 4, 2010my ubuntu install is running pretty well, but I need to boot into Windows 7 to print and convert some proprietary OneNote files.The trouble is that while my menu.lst shows a Windows option - and a few others, too, that don't seem to show up in grub2 - grub does not give me the Windows option. In fact, it seems to follow only the contents of grub.cfg.I have tried running sudo update-grub, and it does work, but does not resolve the problem.

Which leads me to ask....how do I identify the Ubuntu disk space I allocated at install time? I can't seem to find it.

Ubuntu :: No Option For Dual Boot After Windows MBR Restore
Feb 28, 2011Here's the short version of what happened
--Had windows 7 and installed Ubuntu dual boot
--all was well but after some messing around with a failed Backtrack install I had to repartition some things to clean it up
--The partition where Backtrack was installed was corrupt so I deleted it and extended my Ubuntu partition.
--reload got the no such partition rescue grub
--read threw a bunch of forums and could only seem to find mostly threads on only being able to load Ubuntu and not Windows. Most having to do with post OS install problems and not re partitioning.
--I decided the best thread to follow was [url]
--after that my memory of events is a bit fuzzy, a lot was going on. In short I got a message in the terminal saying "this is a BAD idea" and something about another MBR. (sorry I cant be more specific)
--reading on I decided I would try my windows bootloader restore
--now windows loads up fine but it doesn't even give me an option to boot Ubuntu. I launched a live CD and checked GParted. The partition is still there.
Sorry if this is threaded somewhere already, I know that annoying. I'm just burnt out on combing forums and broke down and decided to ask directly

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Does Not Give The Option To Boot To Windows
May 29, 2011I unplugged the Windows drive, during the installation of Ubuntu 9 (to make things easier). 2 separate drives. When installation was complete, I plugged the other drive back in (now both are plugged in). I went to the BIOS and made sure the Linux drive was the set to boot before the windows drive. The only thing that comes before that of course is the cd drive
CD-0
HDD-1 (linux)
HDD-0 (windows)
I booted into linux after this and ran 'sudo update-grub'. The cmd was successful. However, when rebooting it does not give me the option to boot to windows. Why not? PS. If I go to Places (under GNOME bar), Then I can see (and mount) the windows drive. So it is accessible.
Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04, No Option To Load Along Side Of Windows 7?
Jun 19, 2011The only options I get for loading Ubuntu 11.04 on my HP 2000-219DX Laptop is: 1. completely remove windows 7 and download Ubuntu, or 2. Manually partition the HD. I'm no computer wiz and am fairly new to GNU/Linux so I really don't know what the problem might be. I need the windows os for work but would prefer to run the Ubuntu distro for personal computing. I have the same problem with Ubuntu 10.10, so no Ubuntu for this laptop until I can get this problem solved.
