I sent this to
[email protected], still no response thought
I could get a faster solution here.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit and
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on separate partitions.
The message is sent is:
Boot-Repair URL: http://paste.
ubuntu.com/1365163/
Originally
I was unable to access
Ubuntu after a windows update (Ubuntu was installed using wubi). Rather than logging into
Ubuntu from the Windows 7 Bootloader, it lead to the grub command prompt. No matter what
I did here, it would not log me into linux. As a result
I uninstalled
Ubuntu from the Add/Remove Programs application in Windows 7.
I then re-installed
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS using a liveCD-USB. This time however,
I created a partition.
I then restarted and got the GRUB bootloader which loads
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with no problems, however when
I select windows (listed as "Windows 7 (loader)"), it just refreshes the grub bootloader instead of loading Windows 7.
I then used the Windows 7 repair disk to run bootrec/fixmbr and bootrec/fixboot. This led to no bootloader coming up when
I started my computer. Instead
I got a blank black screen with a flashing white cursor.
I went on to do a bootrec/buildbcd and bootrec/scanos. These did nothing to change the situation. When
I ran bootrec/scanos it said that no Windows 7 installations were present. After this
I decided to reinstall WIndows 7 only for this to do nothing to change the situation. Afterwards
I did a boot-repair in which
I began to get the GRUB bootloader, which would load
ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but still would not load Windows 7.
I also did a sudo update-grub which recognized Windows 7 as being installed, but still didn't fix the issue of loading Windows 7. While running
Ubuntu I have no problem accessing my WIndows 7 partition which is formatted as NTFS. It shows all the files and folders reflecting that the re-install did take place, and it also shows all of my old applications and folders in the Windows.old folder.
I am completely stuck at this point and have no clue what
I should do next. Any help you can offer me will be greatly appreciate. Thank You --gap
