I installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 alongside Windows 7. I wanted to check out what it's all about. By the way, i actually like the interface a lot and the free office suite is very very nice. I love how they can save to the .docx as well. Onto the story:
I installed it using this tutorial and I set it all up and everything and things were great. I used the EasyBCD 2.2 Tool and created an Ubuntu 12.04.1 entry and when I boot the computer the Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.1 option show up. However, when I click Ubuntu it does not boot. It say and error and says I must put in the Windows CD to repair or something like this.
Here's my system specs:
- ASRock Extreme4 (EUFI BIOS)
- Corsair Vengaence 2x4GB
- nVidia GeForce 9800GT
- i5-3570K 3.4GHz
- Corsair 620W Modular
- 500GB WD Caviar Blue
I have no clue what could be wrong with it and I would love any assistance. I am willing to mess around and if something happens wrong I can just reinstall windows and it won't be a huge deal. Thank you very much!
Here are my partitions I made:
- /boot 500MB
- / 10000MB
- /home 20000MB
- swap area 4000MB
- BIOS 4000MB
