I just installed 12.10 alongside Windows 7. I split my partition into two because disk reader during the installation didn't recognize Windows 7 as being installed on the computer. It installed correctly and I restarted only to find out it wasn't recognized in Grub also and booted straight to Ubuntu.
I read this post and thought of using boot-repair would be fine but I gain this error:
gpt detected.
Please create bios-boot partition (>1MB, unformed filesystem, bios_grub flag).
This can be performed via tools such as Gparted.
Then try again.
I've no idea what it means or what to do next. Suggestions would be appreciated and I have lost my Windows installation disk and I really don't want to have to go looking for it.
