I was not successful resolving the above so I have taken a different approach.
I repartitioned the whole drive to a single NTFS partition and formatted. I recovered XP (had to because of "upgrade" to Windows 7) It created a "D" drive I installed Windows 7 (I had already easy transferred all files to a USB disk. I installed EasyBCD and cleaned all references to XP from 7's boot screen. Booted to Ubuntu lliveCD and used gpart to delete the old "D" drive, shrink the "C" drive to make room for Ubuntu. Installed Ubuntu and when it asked where to install Grub2 bootloader I replied sda5 (linux) not sda1 (Windows) After install it would only boot to Windows - ran EasyBCD to add an entry for Ubuntu - rebooted ajnd it all works -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692531 Title: Dual boot Windows 7 Ubuntu 10.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
