Conclusion When the Live CD is booted with an UEFI boot sequence, Grub erroneously expects a GPT structured HD, even if the boot HD is msdos/MBR structured. Grub doesn't installs itself to the MBR. When the same Live CD is booted with a non UEFI boot sequence Grub is automatically installed correctly in the MBR and Win7 is added too.
Discussion Because more and more computers support UEFI nowadays, the out of the box installation of Grub and hence Ubuntu from the Live CD is expected to fail more often. I would suggest that the installation process should be updated to alert the user of a UEFI boot sequence conflicting with a non GPT structured target installation HD or better yet, if possible automatically make the correct Grub installation selection accordingly to the installation target HD's structure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1015211 Title: Ubiquity installed grub-efi when it should have installed grub-pc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1015211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
