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
