Dual Boot Ubuntu Windows 10
are voted up and rise to the top Windows 10 upgrade lead into grub rescue up vote 45 down vote favorite 22 I was dual-booting Windows 7 and Linux Ubuntu on my desktop, and today is the day they gave out free Windows 10 upgrades. How exciting! I got the update, and it was installing, and I left to go take a 30 minute nap. However, when dual booting windows linux I came back to my computer, it led me to the grub rescue prompt. error: no such partition. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> I get the following when I type ls: grub rescue> ls (hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) After a quick look through of people who encountered the grub rescue prompt, I typed set and got the following grub rescue> set cmdpath=(hd0) prefix=(hd0,msdos6)/boot/grub root=hd0,msdos6 I was still kind of lost after finding that certain commands like normal didn't work, and then I found a video tutorial where you boot from a Linux image cd and run some commands on the terminal. Luckily, I had my CD with me, and booted from there. When I typed sudo fdisk -l into the terminal however, this is what I got: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc03ede74 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 206848 1547022335 773407744 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 1547022336

TL;DR, skip to the 5th paragraph So i've been going through a VERY long process to something i thought was very easy (and, actually, I have done before successfully without headaches)... Anyway. I had Win 7 installed on my laptop (HP) and i made more than 4 partitions with caused all of the partitions to be turned from basic to dynamic (at the time, I didnt know this). So then with the allocated space I installed ubuntu from a LiveUSB. Ubuntu didn't work (gave up waiting for root device, error) and Win7 didnt work (disk read error). Bummer! So i booted up the liveCD and removed linux. Boom! Win7 works again like a charm. So I go back in, delete two partitions (HP tools and HP recovery) leaving me with system and C: and unallocated space. Reinstalled with LiveUSB. Same two errors. Then I looked on the forum and they said it was a problem with the partitions being dynamic and not basic. So! I deleted the ubuntu partition AG
Recovery Media Install Ubuntu after Windows Install Ubuntu Automatic partition resizing (not recommended) Manual partitioning Master Boot Record and Boot Manager Installing Windows After Ubuntu Recovering GRUB after reinstalling Windows Master Boot Record backup and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot replacement Also see Introduction This page describes how to set up your computer in order to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows. While there are some benefits to dual-booting (e.g. better performance for a native install), it is not recommended. Instead, it is best to do a native install of Ubuntu, and then virtualize the other operating system. Back Up Your Data Although this may dual boot seem obvious, it is important to back up your files to an external backup medium before attempting a dual-boot installation (or any other hard drive manipulation), in case your hard drive becomes corrupted during the process. External hard drives, USB flash drives, and multiple DVDs or CDs are all useful for this purpose. Have a Windows recovery CD/DVD available Some computer manufacturers that pre-install dual booting windows Windows provide a Windows recovery/re-installation CD or DVD with the computer. However, many companies no longer ship a physical disc but instead create a hidden partition on the hard drive in which the recovery-disk information is stored. A utility is then usually provided which allows the user to burn a recovery/re-installation CD or DVD from it. If you are buying a new computer and intend on dual-booting, make sure you have (or can make) a physical Windows recovery/re-installation CD or DVD. If neither a CD/DVD nor a recovery partition/burning utility is provided by your computer manufacturer, you may need to contact your vendor and ask for a CD or DVD (to which you are normally entitled under the Windows EULA). Getting Recovery Media You may need to request a physical recovery/re-installation CD or DVD directly from your computer manufacturer. See WindowsRecoveryCd. Once you have created a physical backup disc from a restore-image partition on the hard-drive, the restore-image partition can either be removed or left in place. Ubuntu can be installed with it intact without problems. Install Ubuntu after Windows A Windows OS should be installed first, because its boo
