I hit this same problem with 7.1. The only way I found to avoid overwriting the original MBR was to remove the internal drive in my laptop while installing Ubuntu. I think this is a pretty serious bug, especially because the user doesn't know his system won't boot until it's too late.
If anyone else hits this problem with Windows, the workaround is to restore your original MBR with either the "fixmbr" or "fdisk /mbr" command: http://www.ambience.sk/fdisk-master-boot-record-windows-linux-lilo- fixmbr.php -- Edgy: install to USB drive leaves system unbootable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
