EasyBCD uses grub4dos as the boot loader, since Windows does not multi-boot other systems.Ī few have reported EasyBCD does work, but you may have to fix grub on major updates as it forces grub into a partition which grub does not like. I do not know about EasyBCD and that complicates it. I typed 'boot' and this error message is what occurred. I then tried to boot to the partition which came up to a command prompt like screen with grub. I went to the windows side and set up the boot screen to 'see' the Ubuntu boot partition using easyBCD. I should also say how I got to this screen. I have another NTFS partition as use as my media partition which is why my boot partition does not start as sda5.Īny suggestions, ideas, comments? I'm practically ignorant of Linux, so y'all will have to greatly simplify any suggestions.
I did NOT allow it to update, but even when I did allow it to update, the same issue occured. I installed the boot partition as sda6 as /boot, then my root partition was sda7 as /, I made another partition for my home on sda8 as /home.
I have it burned to a dvd, so I booted the CD, selected to try Ubuntu, then installed inside the 'trial' environment. So I dual booted Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 圆4 with my Windows 7 laptop.
