At first I will describe my situation in a few points:
- I have installed Windows7, and then Ubuntu 11.04 on my machine. Then everything works fine and at start of system I have screen from linux where I can choose the system.
- Then I reinstall Windows7 and install Windows 8 on other partition. Then I can choose between Win7 and win8 when I start system.
Then I need my Ubuntu back so I want restore my bootloader from Ubuntu. I boot Ubuntu from USB and in terminal write this commands:
sudo fdisk -l
Then I get:
/dev/sda1 1 13 104391 de Dell Utility
/dev/sda2 14 2805 22425601 5 Rozszerzona
/dev/sda3 * 2805 41968 314572800 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 41968 60802 151282688 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda5 14 2445 19530752 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 2445 2805 2893824 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Next commands:
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sda
I get Installation finished. No error reported.
. And when I start my machine I have old Ubuntu start screen to choose system. Ubuntu works well. But There are no Windows 8 option.
But my primary problem is when I choose Windows 7 I have:
error: no such device ...
error: no such disk
so I have no idea what can I do. I really need both systems to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
