Ubuntu :: Windows Vista Not Booting After Installing 10.04

May 5, 2010

I got this laptop today and decided to dual boot Linux, as I've been using it for a bit on an older laptop. I downloaded and installed Ubunutu 10.04, using the first install option to have it install next to Windows, and afterwards on startup I get 6 options: Whenever I try to boot with either of the Windows options, it goes to the Windows loading bar, then the screen goes black and the computer resets. I didn't make recovery disks. I already had Vista recovery disks and I did try that, but it said I wouldn't be able to restore the system with them. F11 on startup splashscreen does nothing.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installing - Booting - 11.04 Without Touching Windows 7 MBR

Aug 5, 2011

What is the "recommended" method for dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 7, if one cannot allow the disk's MBR to be overwritten or changed in any way?

Before now, I have either installed GRUB/GRUB2 to the MBR, or else installed Ubuntu and Windows to two different hard drives.

The machine in this case, a Samsung NP300-V5A-A02US notebook PC, has only a single hard drive. I cannot allow any alteration of the MBR, because then the Samsung backup/system recovery software (Samsung Recovery Solution 5) will no longer work.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installing BURG Prevents Windows From Booting?

Apr 19, 2010

Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 Beta 2 64-bit
Dual-boot with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Compaq CQ50-215NR laptop with 3GB system memory, 1.9GHz Athlon X2 QL-60 dual-core processor, nVIDIA GeForce 8200M G, 160GB HDD

Today I decided to install the BURG bootmenu on my computer so that I could enjoy nice, pretty graphical bootmenus instead of boring old text-based ones.I installed and configured BURG using this tutorial(after some few snafus wherein I tried to use older tutorials and went through many needless complicated steps that didn't end up working anyway).Restarted, and it worked great - except for one thing. Windows would no longer boot.It would get to the "Starting Windows" screen, then about halfway through there it would flash and restart.It wouldn't start in "Startup Repair Mode" either (the same thing happened). So, I did some frantic googling, and discovered this thread. I followed a set of instructions posted therein to install Lilo, reconfigure my MBR to Windows' liking, and reinstall Grub2.Windows booted after that.Well, I thought that the problem must have been caused by one of the numerous false starts I made while trying to get BURG installed, so I installed BURG again, set it up again, and bang - Windows wouldn't boot any more.So, I re-did the MBR with Lilo again, only this time I forgot to reinstall Grub2 (oops!) and had to boot from my LiveCD and install it thataway.At any rate, I'm fairly certain that installing BURG is what's keeping Windows from booting.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installing On Windows Machine Without Dual Booting?

Oct 14, 2010

i currently am running windos 7 (64 bit) and would also like to install ubuntu on a second hard drive. i understand a dual boot is easy enough to do, but i'd like to install ubuntu so that it and windows are completely isolated. rather than be prompted with a boot screen to choose os, i would do so by changing hd boot priority in bios. i'd like the end result to be 2 separte computers in one box. can it be set up this way, and if so, how?

Fedora Installation :: Windows Not Booting After Installing 2nd Distro?

Apr 18, 2009

I had setup my system for triple boot with Windows, F10 & Suse. I had the Windows partition and then installed F10 setting up Grub to load the other two. All went fine and was able to choose to boot to Windows which worked. I then installed Suse, choosing the bootloader to be on the partition for Suse. This installed fine and can now choose to boot into Suse which works. F10 still works as expected, but when I choose to boot Windows, I just end up with a Grub command line. I can't see how the Windows partition could have been affected. I can still see all the files in there, but it just wont boot.

[Code]...

This is not really a Linux issue but does anyone know how I can 'repair' this Windows partition without affecting any other partitions. I don't have a Windows install CD. If I boot off FreeDOS, is there a command to repair the 'bootability' of the Windows partition only?

General :: Installing Ubuntu 10.10 On A Windows 7 System (Dual Booting) With Radeon X300/X550/X1?

Oct 29, 2010

just like most Linux distributions, will happily co-exist on a hard disk with just about any version of Windows. This is a concept known as dual-booting. Essentially, when you power up your PC you will be presented with a menu which provides the option to boot either Ubuntu Linux or Windows. Obviously you can only run one operating system at a time, but it is worth noting that the files on the Windows partition of your disk drive will be available to you from Ubuntu Linux regardless of whether your windows partition was formatted using NTFS. To day I have installed Latest Windows 7 and Latest Ubuntu 10.10 on my office system (Dual booting). This two operating system which I installed in HP dx 7200 micro towers.

System Information
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7201) (7201.winmain_win7ids.090601-1516)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
System Model: HP Compaq dx7200 Microtower
BIOS: Default System BIOS

Red Hat / Fedora :: Dual Booting SL6.1 And Windows - After Editing The Grub.config To Include Windows

Jul 2, 2011

i am having some issues with dual booting my SL6.1 and Windows. The situation is that i recently acquired an old hard drive from a non-working computer of mine with Windows already installed (i know the windows is functional, as i tested it on my new PC with SL6.1 currently installed & everything runs fine)

The problem is that after editing the grub.config to include windows, windows will no longer boot after an attempt to install a legit version of McAffee anti-virus software which coincidently was only after the first attempt at running both OS's in a dual-boot fashion. Except past the windows start up screen before the dreaded blue-screen.
Which is weird because SL6.1 OS will still boot & works perfectly fine like always, so it doesn't really make sense.

My current setup is:
Disk 1: Solid-State:
Boot Partition
SL6 LVM1: Root Partition
Disk 2: Hard Drive:
SL6 LVM2: User, Temp & Swap Space Partitions (Different LVM to Root)
Disk 3: Hard Drive:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

My guess is its windows MBR. The reason i say this is because the Hard Drive contents of the Windows software still appears intact when accessing the drive from the Linux OS. I don't won't to go through the rigmarole of re-installing both OS's. So hopefully their is a relatively simple solution.

General :: Dual-booting Windows : Why Install Windows First?

Apr 1, 2011

I've read that, when configuring a dual-boot system, you should install Windows first to avoid any issues.Some questions: I'm assuming this has to do with the boot loader so: How is Windows boot loader so different that this matters? If I'm totally off, please explain.Is this the same case with Windows 7 and Windows XP? Depending on question 1 of course: Will installing Windows later on mean that it will definitely not work or just that you might encounter issues later on? Some tutorials are kind of ambiguous about that point.

Ubuntu :: Installing On 1 HDD And Booting Win 7 On Another?

Apr 25, 2011

I just downloaded Ubuntu no problem, and put it on a DVD just fine. I have 2 HDD in my computer, a 1.5TB (main drive, in slot SATA 0) and an 80GB (back up, in SATA 1). I intended on installing Ubuntu on the 80GB drive, and it seemed I did so just fine; I got to the end of the process perfectly. However, when I restart my computer to boot it up it just gives me a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left hand corner, kinda like a DOS screen. I also tried booting up from my 1.5TB drive, but another black screen said that it didn't exist, along with throwing me a code, which leads me to believe that I deleted my Win7 partition by mistake.

General :: Booting After Installing Ubuntu 9.10?

Apr 15, 2010

i installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an external hard-drive according to an online guide i found. The first problem i ran into was that Grub takes ages to load, however, after it's loaded, i am able to choose what OS to start(i have windows vista of my computers hard-drive). The second problem is that i am now unable to start windows vista without having my external hard drive (the one that Ubuntu is installed on) connected to my PC, it just says something like "Loading grub....no such disk". Im really worried that i've done something irriversible.

Hardware :: Installing PC-BSD For A Dual Booting Computer?

Mar 29, 2010

I have a WinXP computer with two internal hard drives that are partitioned. I would like to setup a dualbooting system. I first attempted to install PC-BSD 8.0 from a DVD onto an external 640 GB USB hard drive. Everything looked it was going to work (including the boot loader program) until after the installation. PC-BSD took out the NTFS of the hard drive (with over 500 GB of Window files). And the bootloader never loaded on startup. It took two days to get everything back. The files created on this external hard drive could not be read by another linux operating system (Slax 6.1.1). I would like to load PC-BSD on one of my empty partitions (from my second hard drive). The manual for PC-BSD states PC-BSD has to be installed on a primary drive and not a logical drive. If you attempt a logical drive installation, PC-BSD will wipe out the entire hard drive on installation. Would it help if I format a logical partition to the linux file system and then attempt to install PC-BSD to it? I can use Slax 6.1.1 from a CD to format the logical partition.

Ubuntu Installation :: Vista Only Booting Into Recovery Mode After Installing From A Live USB?

Sep 4, 2010

So I decided to try Ubuntu from a live USB drive 10.04 LTS on my Toshiba laptop as the windows Vista SP2 was running really slow. I liked it and clicked on the install icon. From there I set it for duel boot and off it went. The install worked great. I then downloaded the startup manager and changed the start up to be default of windows loader. Now when it boots into windows it goes to the windows recovery thing and won't start windows.

Fedora Hardware :: 14 Not Booting After Installing Latest Updates

Nov 27, 2010

So, it's 2010 and I already though I got rid of coding my own drivers & compiling my own kernel in normal use... After installing latest Fedora 14 updates, my system won't boot anymore into fedora. Just continuous loop no matter if I select previous kernel system won't boot.

Anyone any ideas? I think it might be ATI driver but not 100% sure since I didn't see any D/A related or Kernel updates wasn't upcoming...

Anyways I will figure out this sooner or later but this kind of updates sucks a bit that your system goes suddenly totally unuseable or system won't reboot, sooo , time to move on with an another distro or is Fedora just RedHat's playaground?

Fedora :: After Installing The VGA Driver For GeForce Fx 5500 14 Is Not Booting?

Jan 22, 2011

After I installed the driver for my AGP GeForce Fx 5500, the system is not booting. I followed some instructions on a website and I disabled "nouveau" in the grub.conf file and then I installed the driver for the VGA. I need to mention that I updated my system to the latest software updates. Anyway, after I installed the driver (which it seems it was wrong for my VGA), the system currently arrive to a step in booting which it's : Starting apt [ok]. After that the system is hanging and not able to enter the desktop.

Fedora Installation :: After Installing Graphics Drivers Computer Not Booting Into 14

Jan 22, 2011

I recently switched my primary desktop over from Windows 7 to Fedora 14. I successfully installed the OS on to my hard drive and booted up, following which I installed all of the updates and rebooted. After my first reboot I downloaded the 10.11 Radeon driver and installed it (because the 10.12 was having an md5 hash issue), the install was (supposedly) successful, but when I restarted my computer it first progresses to this screen (copied from softpedia) and then goes black for a second, and then returns to that screen and halts at the end of the progess bar and does nothing. I am looking for help to get back into my system.

OpenSUSE Install :: Enable Booting From Boot Partition When Installing 11.3?

Sep 13, 2010

Just did a clean install of 11.3. After first try, system couldn't boot for hard drive. When installing a second time, I noticed that booting from a boot partition and the MBR are disabled by default. I enabled both and proceeded with the install. System now boots fine. Since the automatic partitioning created a boot partition, I'm assuming that that is where the system is booting from and I didn't need to enable booting from MBR, but am not 100% sure. So make sure to at least enable booting from a boot partition

Ubuntu :: Getting Old Booting Option - Windows 7

Jan 15, 2010

Not 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 :: Booting Windows 7 After Installation?

Mar 17, 2010

I'm a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff, so bear with me. Ok so my computer has 4 hard drives, a 640gb, 500gb, and two 320gbs. I have the larger two on a raid 0 array, which is also where I have windows installed. I installed Ubuntu on one of my spare 320gb drives, so that I wouldn't have to worry about partitioning. But now every time I boot my raid array in order to boot windows, grub will load and my computer will boot Ubuntu instead.
