Installing Ubuntu 10.04 to external HDD overwrites the MBR of the internal HDD
- by zkrpar
I have a Asus A42F laptop which has Windows 7 32 bit installed on it's internal HDD.
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a portable HDD using the laptop. Now my laptop does not boot Windows 7 if the portable HDD is disconnected. I can only get the boot menu when the portable HDD is connected.
The portable HDD does not boot when connected to another computer.
Please help me, I want to:
Boot Windows from the internal drive, without GRUB
Boot Ubuntu from the external drive via the BIOS boot menu (F8 or F12)
