Yup, same happened on a computer I was dealing with. (Don't worry, it wasn't my computer. It was a friend's computer. She was using my 3-year- old Ubuntu laptop rather than her new Windows 7 laptop because it was slow and buggy.) I was using ubuntu 10.10 so it's not gone away in the last year.
I wonder if the problem is down a different partitioning system used in Windows 7. Windows XP generally only uses one partition for the whole lot, but Windows 7 seems to have a boot partition and a main partition, and perhaps grub2 doesn't know what to do with that. Anyway, once I set the chainloader to to boot partition, it all worked fine, but an Ubuntu novice won't know how to do that. And we're supposed to be aiming the installation process at novices. -- grub2 does not detect Windows 7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468856 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
