Debian Hardware :: How To Hide Misbehaving Hard Drive
Jul 20, 2010I'm teaching my son about Linux and he has a system dual-booting Debian Squeeze and Windows XP.Recently, his Windows hard disk ran out of room (It's a rather old system, the disk was 13 GB) and we replaced it with an 80 GB drive that we thought was dead.After successfully cloning the Windows disk, we put the new disk in the old slot (hdd) and rebooted.Windows runs fine with it, but when trying to boot Debian, it ran into a myriad of errors (too many to list here) and eventually timed out trying to deal with this apparently renegade hard drive.The only way we can boot Debian is to shutdown the computer, disconnect the hard drive and boot up.
Rather inconvenient My question is:Is there any way to hide that disk from the Debian system so it doesn't go trying to detect it and run into these snags?I'd like to simply replace it with a brand-new drive, but that's absolutely out of the budget for now.

Jan 9, 2011When running linux (Lubuntu 10.04) my windows partition mounts automatically and can be opened and edited in file manager. Is there any way I can prevent it mounting when linux launches, prevent it from being mounted in linux, and (ideally) prevent it from being displayed/opened/edited at all from linux?(In case it's relevant:
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Ubuntu :: Hide Windows Partition From The List?
Sep 16, 2010Basically, I don't want to see my dual booted xp boot. At all. Yes, I want GRUB to see it, so I can chose, but I would love to have it completely ignored once I load Ubuntu even for intruders. I did not like being able to just click my Windows partition thinking of the brutal things that could be done to it since it's not even booted.I am aware I can make a second user who has admin privileges, but that is similar to my other question...

And I would rather it not be accessible to anyone with or without administrator privileges.
Ubuntu :: Hide The Windows Recovery Partition In Burg/grub2?
Dec 26, 2010On my Samsung netbook, I have successfully got a pretty speedy dual-boot of Windows 7 Starter and Ubuntu 10.10
I set up Burg, to well, replace Grub2 in favour of a more attractive interface and so far so good. I know that I can hide the older Ubuntu kernels/recovery slots by pressing the 'F'key. However, the Windows recovery partition still shows up. So it looks like this:
Ubuntu - Windows 7 - Windows Recovery (vista)
Basically, how can I hide the Windows Recovery partition? If I ever do need to use it, I can access it alternatively by pressing F4 at boot.

View 6 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Hide Live USB Partition From Linux / Windows?
May 18, 2010I want to set up my USB memory stick(s) (4gb) so that I have a partition (3gb?) for personal data storage and another hidden (1gb?) for booting/installing Ubuntu live from the 'stick' on friends' and colleagues' computers.I have a number of queries:
1) If I flag the boot partition 'hidden' in Gparted, it does what I want in Ubuntu but not in Windows; in Windows you can see the hidden partition, 'Wubi', and not the storage one. Does it simply depend on the physical position of the partitions on the memory stick?
2) I am using Unetbootin and Gparted (both GUIs). Should I prepare the live boot partition before or after partitioning the memory stick?
3) How much memory should I allow for the live boot partition?
4) Is there anyone who has asked similar questions or tried to achieve the same results before? Please let me know if I'm doing it all wrong.
Debian :: How To Make Windows-loader Default And Hide Grub If Possible
Mar 11, 2015Background: I am dual booting Debian and Window 7. Wanted to make windows-loader default and hide grub if possible. Google search took me here: [URL].... (third answer, about editing grub)
Make Windows (ANY variant) the default Grub2 menu option.
Description: This sets Windows as the default boot option, and (with NO user action) the PC will auto-launch Windows on startup.
STEPS:
A. sudo update-grub #List your current menu items
B. Edit setup file
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=”Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1″ #Set the boot default to your Windows boot partition
[WARNING: Just setting 'GRUB_DEFAULT=n', will NOT work after kernel updates, etc.
Save the file and close.]
sudo update-grub
Question: I must have done something wrong, for update-grub (as root) now gives this: "/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 6: /etc/default/grub: 2: not found"
What should I do now to make grub as it was in the beginning?
[By the way, it's been very difficult to get Debian related pages...]

Feb 5, 2011So I install Ubuntu 10.10 on a multi-drive, dual boot with windows 7 computer. At almost the end of the install, I see "running grub-install sda" or whatever it is. sda is my windows drive.So rather than asking where to install the bootloader or give you the option like it used to, it just did it to my "first" drive.
What the hell? Now my Windows MBR is gone. I like to maintain that so if my linux drive dies I can still boot into windows via the old windows boot loader.Possible to move Grub2 to my other drive and repair windows 7 drive MBR?

Ubuntu :: Put My Windows Files On E Drive Without Going Through The Hassle Of Reinstalling Windows?
Jan 23, 2010I currently dual boot windows XP Pro with Ubuntu 9.10. I made a mistake last night playing with gparted and lost my E drive, which had all of my music, games and movies plus is where my Ubuntu install was. I then ended up reformatting the drive with windows and reinstalling Ubuntu 9.10.My question is how can I put my windows files on my E drive without going through the hassle of reinstalling windows.
I have a 20g IDE drive where my windows install is, windows and Ubuntu both tell me this drive is failing, (I have used it for booting since 2002, so I am not that concerned with it), another 40g IDE drive for more storage and a 160g SATA drive where Ubuntu is again installed. I want the SATA drive to be my main boot drive now, so how can I clone my windows boot to the other drive. I tried gparted but could not figure it out. I have gparted burnt to cd, booted with it and just don't understand how to use it.Also, if I clone this boot drive to the SATA drive, do I need to change jumper settings on my 40g to master when I take out the 20g drive.20g master and 40g slave on first IDE channel and 2 CD devices on second IDE channel and SATA drive on first SATA connection. I read somewhere that it is better to keep the cd devices on another channel than the disk drives.
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 In A Second Partition Of The Hard Drive - Windows XP And Windows 7
Oct 24, 2010I have Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP running each one in a partition of two different hard drives. I want to install Windows 7 in a second partition of the hard drive where Ubuntu is running. Windows 7 did not see the hard drive where Ubuntu is running. So I understand that I need to format the partition where Ubuntu is running, install Windows 7 and later on Ubuntu 10.04 which will create the boot for the three systems. But I want to backup Ubuntu's installation, and after installing Windows 7, install the backup. So I will need to add the file for the dual booting. How can I do it? Is it there any piece of software that could create the three booting option that I need?

Debian Installation :: Installing Debian On The Second Drive Without Messing With The Windows Drive?
Mar 21, 2011I was wondering. Up till now whenever I installed Linux I've either dual booted with Windows off 1 HDD, or installed straight Linux by itself. However, I recently purchased a second HDD for my computer, and was wondering how I could go about installing Debian on the second drive without messing with the windows drive? Right now I have Windows 7 installed on my 1TB drive, and would like to try and install Debian on my second (750GB) drive. Would it be possible to install Debian on the second drive, install grub on that drive's MBR so I could choose between Debian and Win7 without touching the MBR on the 1TB Windows drive?
I'm paranoid about messing up my Seven installation, but really want to be able to load into Debian as well.

Sep 2, 2010I have a system with two drives, sda and sdb. Ubuntu 10.04 is installed on sda and Windows 7 is installed on sdb. I _can_ boot both Ubuntu and Windows if I change the boot order in the bios, however, when I try to boot the default Windows entry from the grub menu, the screen simply goes blank for a couple seconds and then I am once again presented with the grub menu. When I try to boot any of the "fixes" I found online I get, "error: invalid signature." Below is the default /boot/grub/grub.cfg along with 6 of the "fixes" I have found via google and ubuntuforums, and my dmesg.

A) Format the drive as NTFS. Are there any problems that I should be aware of with NTFS in Ubuntu?
B) Format the drive as ext2, use Ext2Fsd to use it in windows? Will this be seamless?
C) Use ext3 + Ext2Fsd. I know that there might be problems with ext4, but does ext3 work seamlessly in windows 7?
