Thread: Dual boot problems...


hi everyone,
i'm not entirely sure if post thread on right website, since i'm trying solve problems using ubuntu 10.04(lucid lynx), might still right place.i wanted set dual boot configuration on computer(ubuntu , windows7), installed windows 7, of hard drive(i borrowed it.), boot files missing, , it's own boot repair couldn't fix it, because didn't recognise installation. have installed ubuntu after this, , 1 works fine, except can't recognise windows partition , can't set dual boot configuration. guess solved starting on again, want avoid that, if it's possible. exact, want avoid installing windows again, because hat doing that, if reinstalling ubuntu makes difference, it's no problem...

no, reinstalling ubuntu won't if windows boot files missing. that's problem win7 asking install in cases putting 2 of boot files on partition. linux puts them together.

open win7 partition ubuntu, , take @ files. first for:
bootmgr
boot/bcd

for:
windows/system32/winload.exe

guess first 2 missing. not sure if copy them installation can help. in winxp works if have standard setup.
