Jan 29, 2013I have a computer with Ubuntu and I can not get any Microsoft software to load. Can I load and run Windows 7 without uninstalling Ubuntu? How can I get this to work if Ubuntu will not run anything from my CD drive if it is Microsoft?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Wiped HDD, Including Windows 7 And It Will Not Load Boot Discs
Feb 21, 2011I created a live CD of Ubuntu in order to install it alongside Windows 7. I began the installation, and suddenly the diagram (the one showing how much space each OS takes) stopped showing Windows. Almost immediately after, the installation kicked me back to the live CD, saying the installation failed. Still using the live CD, I saw that Ubuntu had not finished, but the little it did install was simply lingering on my drive. For some reason - probably sheer shock coupled with sleep deprivation - I didn't check to see if anything remained of Windows 7 before I shut down the computer. I then removed the live CD and booted the computer up.
After POST, I'm greeted by a screen that looks like the command prompt, but I am unable to input any commands. I first tried to access the recovery partition by pressing F9 at startup (which used to work), but it simply cuts to the aforementioned black screen. I also tried using various emergency boot discs, but none of them worked; some weren't recognized/loaded, and others partially loaded before displaying an error message. Since then, I have yet to get it to boot to a disc without an error occurring. I am going to contact ASUS and have (a) recovery disc(s) sent, but I doubt they'll do any good; I can't get the computer to load discs, and that's not even mentioning my likely-gone recovery partition. I'm also concerned that my HDD is irreparably damaged.
Windows 7 Install Disc Fails To See Hard Disk After Ubuntu Install?
Apr 6, 2012After I tried to make a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), Windows now does not boot. I have tried to reinstall and repair the HDD but the disc fails to recognize my HDD (Western Digital Scorpio Black 500 GB). My HDD is Basic, has 3 primary partitions and 1 extended (3 logical). Ubuntu 11.10 can boot fine.

Mar 15, 2011I have a new rig and I cannot install either my OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium x64 or Ubuntu 10.10 x64.
When I try and install Windows, the installation goes through and then - just before it says 'Complete' - it says something along the lines of "Failed to make bootable" and then says press any key to restart.
When I try to install Ubuntu, I cannot select my preferred partition. And when I go into [Specify partitions manually] and select one, it says 'No root file system is defined. correct this from the partitioning menu.' And nothing I do can change this.
Install Windows 7 But Keep Vista And Ubuntu?
Sep 17, 2011I'm a bit bored with Vista and want to install 7. Can I do this whilst keeping Vista and Ubuntu installed in case something goes wrong with the installation. At the moment Vista and Ubuntu share my hard drive and I simply chose which OS to boot on start up.

Jan 1, 2012I had WinXP on an older drive, then I upgraded to Vista 64bit, then the disk crashed. Got a new hard drive and installed just Ubuntu 11.04 on it. Then I missed Windows and decided to get a Windows 7 Upgrade. I thought that since I had the XP product key/sticker (on my Thinkpad T400) AND my Vista 64bit Upgrade (with product key) AND my new Windows 7, I'd be set and legal.
First, the Windows 7 upgrade DVD didn't like seeing the Ubuntu partition and didn't want to install. I popped out the drive, put it in a external caddy and had my other XP machine format it as NTFS. Good. Reinstalled HD and put in the Windows 7 64b DVD and installed Windows 7. Everything went fine untill the Product Key . . . which it would not accept! This is a legit copy I just bought at WalMart, but it wouldn't accept the key! I finally clicked on "Skip" . . . and it went on installing, upgrading and appears to be working fine! What gives? It didn't ask me for my old Vista copy or key, it simply went on and seems to be working fine. I'm using it right now. (Having trouble getting it to see my external monitor, but that's another thread. . .)

View 2 Replies View RelatedRandom Windows 7 Freezes After Ubuntu 10.10 Install
Oct 16, 2010I currently have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 running on my Asus laptop. I decided to install Ubuntu 10.10 along side Windows, as I will need it for work. It was installed via side-by-side and re-sized the partition
The installation of Ubuntu was flawless and works great, but now when I boot to Windows, its will randomly freeze, sometimes in 1 minute, sometimes within 10 minutes.
The only way I can solve this issue, is to either perform a disk scan from windows or restore the MBR.
The disk scan works, and Windows run fine, although If I boot Ubuntu again, run that for awhile, then boot windows again the problem returns.
Restoring the MBR works as well, though without a dualboot, its useless I have also tried EasyBCD and replaced GRUB with Windows boot manager, though same problems.

Aug 26, 2010I should have come here first, but for several weeks, I started having serious crashing, freezing, then the dreaded BSOD on my upgraded Windows 7 PC.
Finally it wouldn't even boot back in Windows 7. I could not find my Upgrade Disk or Repair Disk at the time, but I had a Ubuntu Disk. So I foolhardy installed Ubuntu on a 2nd HDD in my system, think I would be able to fix Windows 7 later.
Now I've found the Windows 7 (upgrade) disks. But I can't repair Windows 7 nor can't figure out how to re-install, it doesn't give me that option, that I can find. I've removed the Ubuntu drive, but Grub is still installed.
I would like to do a clean install (since I have already backed up my important files using Ubuntu). Will following this: SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation do the trick?
Once I get it re-installed, and if it crashes again, I'll do the memtest and other troubleshooting found here.

View 4 Replies View RelatedBoot Options Show Ubuntu From XP Install?
Sep 22, 2010Long before I bought Windows 7 I was running XP on a dual boot with Ubuntu, I then removed Ubuntu from computer but was still left with the boot option which I successfully removed. I then installed Win 7 as a dual boot with XP and once I was happy with 7 decided to remove XP just leaving 7. As soon as I did so for some reason the Ubuntu option returned to my boot menu. I have tried lots to remove this option but to no avail. The option does not appear on easybcd but seems to be a remnant of XP left in the now useless boot.ini file. I am able to access the boot.ini file using "run" but when I try to edit the Ubuntu option out access is denied. I know I have to change permissions to edit this file but have no idea of it's location and a search returns no results.

Aug 13, 2009I have 2 hard drives, the first has Win 7 RC1 and the second has XP and Vista in their own partitions. The Win 7 boot loader gives me the choice of Windows 7, Vista and XP when I boot up. The question is: If I install Ubuntu onto the second HD in a currently unoccupied partion, will GRUB (which is sure to take over the booting process, from past experience) still leave me with the 3 choices I have now (assuming I do not select the Ubuntu prompt). I wwould hate to lose the ability to get into the 3 Win systems !

Windows Won't Load After HDD Install
Jun 23, 2012I loaded a sata drive in an empty slot (its an old drive out of my prior computer which has stuff on it that I want to get), hooked it up and started the computer and now it won't load windows, its not the bootable drive either, the windows logo shows up and it just sits there, granted I didn't wait 20mins or something but why would it stall. I did a hard power off and tried to launch safe mode startup repair and nothing, the green bar just keeps moving across but nothing ever loads? or is it supposed to take forever Should I just take the drive out and get an external enclosure like I originally planned or have I now screwed up the main drive and windows?
View 3 Replies View RelatedReinstalling Windows 7 - Load Driver Error
Nov 18, 2012I've decided to try and format my laptop today, however I have a frustrating error that keeps occurring and I don't really know what to do.I have an ASUS U43JC laptop. When I purchased the laptop, it didn't come with any CD/DVD's. I've tried to install some of the drivers from the ASUS website, with some of them saying I needed to download the x64 version because what I had downloaded was x32 (even though I'm pretty sure I downloaded the x64 file...).
There's one file that I had downloaded, yet I'm not sure what to do with it; it's called U43Jc.216. Anyhow, this is the error that pops up when I'm trying to reinstall Windows 7: "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now." If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step.
Blue-screen Error Now Windows Won't Load
Jul 11, 2011I was checking emails today and I got a blue screen of death on Windows 7. I didn't take a screen capture, however the error message had to do with winSys32.exe, and then the usually memory dump messages. I rebooted into safe mode and tried running Spybot, but it came up with an error, so I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes anti-malware. It found 5 problems and I deleted them. I then ran Avast and it found no infections. Figuring it was a malware problem, I rebooted. Now Windows won't load. It gets to the Welcome screen, then goes to a blank black screen, with a mouse cursor. The cursor can be moved. I powered down the computer, pulled the battery, and booted it back up. This time I got a black screen, saying my disks had to be checked for inconsistencies. I ran the scan and it found no errors. Windows started to load, then stopped at the blank black screen again. I have my laptop set up with Ubuntu 11.04 on a sperate partion and I have not any problems with it, so I think the issue is related just to Windows, not hardware. My laptop is an Asus g72g, with an Intel Core 2 duo processor @ 2.53ghz, 6 gigs of ram and an Nvidia graphic card. Other then adding Ubuntu I have not done any upgrades to the system. Windows 7 was a installed at the factory, not an upgrade, and I haven't added any software in 6 months or so.
