View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my HP Mini 110-1116NR, then deleted the partitions that had Ubuntu on them, not knowing that Ubuntu comes with GRUB2, and sets itself as the default boot for that system. Now that GRUB2 is not installed, since it was on my only HDD, it looks for the GRUB2 partition, which does not exist.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've downloaded Bluestacks to sync my android apps with my pc and it worked just fine. Shortly after I've gotten a request from Microsoft to run some updates which I've accepted. I left my workstation and when I came back 2/3 of my desktop icons had vanished and there were about 30 application error windows on my screen. The pc was blocked and only CTRL+alt+del worked, so I've shut down the pc. Since then nothing worked. I can't boot Windows 7, can't start safemode.The only thing that works is F2 (Setup) and F12 (boot options), but I don't get far there.Remedies: I've tried the following without success:
1) Rebooted W7 from the CD, ran the repair option out of which system image won't work and although I see system restore points (I have bi-monthly points), I get an error abort message. So no luck there
2) I've downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 ISO on a UBS flashdrive and at least succeeded to get the initial Ubuntu screen but couldn't install (subinstall it under Windows 7 was suggested) and thus had no chance in recovering my files/docus/media. The computer goes back to the black screen with the blinking unusable cursor.
3) I've tried to follow the suggestion from your Tech JSntgRvr by downloading the "Farbar Recovery" program and execute it in the Window command prompt, but I get an error message that states:x:sources>i:frst.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. (with "i" being the drive where the usb flash was)So now I am out of my "very limited" wits.
Curious, is it possible to use Ubuntu to repair files in windows 7, like a copy & replace or add type of job?

In Ubuntu i go to the disk utility it says there is a bad sector but i cant fix it on ubuntu. on windows startup features there is repair, safe mode, and others i tried going to the repair i click repair startup it says scanning for problems then it says it is doing something with the disk and never does anything.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded 695MB Desktop Edition from it's official website,I'm installing it along with Windows 7 Home? While Installing I got the following screen first :allocate drive Space
1) Install alongside other OS
2) Erase and Use the entire disc
3) Specify partitions manually(advanced)
I have chosen Manually Partitioning option(3rd Option).There I got directed to free space option which is Unallocated space that I created in Windows 7.it shows free space 20973MB After clicking on free space, I got one window for "Create Partition" which says:
A)Type of new partition 1) Primary 2)Logical (Selected)
B)New Partition size in MB 20972
C)Location for new partition 1)Beginning 2) End Question:Which one to select,1 is selected by default.
D)Use as Ext4 Journalising File System
E)Mount Point / After pressing "OK " button,I got the following message:You have not selected any partition for use as swap space Go Back Continue? how to select swap spaces.
I'd like to start by saying I'm not very good with computers. I'm a complete noob, infact. Which is why it probably was not a good idea to install Ubuntu. But now, I am trying to rectify this problem.So I popped in the full install version of Windows 7 Home Premium and booted from the disk. I got up to the part where it asks me to select a partition. One is something like 293 GB with no free space, and the other is 8 GB with no free space. It won't let me install on either, and the reason it gives is something like it's not in NTFS format... I don't know what this means.And if you do choose to reply, act like you're talking to a preschooler, because I am when it comes to computers.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Guess there is some issue with bootmgr.
Error says bootmgr missing.
I created a bootable key of Backtrack 5 using YUMI from Pendrivelinux. Choosing USB as first boot device allows me to access the key and choose to boot BT5. It doesn't seem to boot up properly but at least I can access the drive; so I should be able to format it, right? On booting to both/ either Win7 or Ubuntu 11.04, the drive isn't mounted. Under Win7, it's available only under Device Manager as an Unknown Device and comes complete with exclamation mark! It also seems to be listed under USB Controllers as a USB Mass Storage Device (properties say Device working properly!). There is also no listing of the drive under the Disk Management section of Administrative Tools/Computer Management. I have also tried Spotmau but the drive still doesn't show up. Any ideas of how to format the key? There is no data worth saving on it, as it can easily be rebuilt, but it's a handy 4Gb Kingston Datatraveller 102 stick.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a dual Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7 Home Basic booting system on my laptop (VAIO, specs at the end). Each time I switch on my laptop, Ubuntu's GRUB first shows me the options as to which OS to boot from. The choices include Ubuntu and Windows 7. To install Ubuntu,I made a 25 GB unallocated volume on my hard disk. Recently, while updating Ubuntu to its latest version, my internet crashed and the download only partly succeeded. After that, I have never been able to use Ubuntu on my laptop. However, GRUB is still functioning; each time I switch on, I still see the options as to which OS to boot from. If I choose Windows 7, then I get the usual Windows 7 Booting screen.Basically, I now have 25GB of space lying unusable on my machine. I want to merge this with one of my other partitions. However, I fear that doing so would delete GRUB and make my laptop impossible to boot. What steps should I take? Is there any way whereby I can safely delete Ubuntu and change the boot sequence from GRUB to the Windows boot program? (I guess it is BOOTMGR.EXE)

I use 2 different imaging apps for backup, Ahead@DiskImage (image on external HDD) and Clickfree C6 in its own external box.
Ahead@DiskImage fails in restoring the PC. The Clickfree C6 imaging apparatus succeeds in restoring, but it doesn't last more than a few hours before the black screen returns.
