Thread: Dual Boot/ MBR issues!

so 2 days ago decided install ubuntu first time. seemed go great, installed on second hard drive , running good, updated all, installed few programs used using linux.

after shutting computer off, , turning on, later didnt want start, kept loading disc, , if took out, kept trying recover main install of windows 7.

went in bios , changed boot order, guess happened in install of ubuntu changed mbr (master boot record) guess grub?

not 100% sure here dealing with, tried fix mbr , have standard windows 7 mbr instead of grub, when did getting error every time start laptop : missing operating system.

have read on many forums , got general idea needed use windows 7 installation disk , repair windows. in repair windows supposed select windows 7 in list of operating systems, mine doesnt show up.

tells me load drivers hard disk, how do that? or how can revert grub? preferably dont want ubuntu primary mbr.

im not sure steps take. if needs know kinda of laptop have maybe find out hard drive:

asus g73-jh
500gb sata drive - not sure is

dont know drivers need load windows 7 showing. when showing want make sure have grub mbr on second hard drive. labeled c windows , e ubuntu.

help!

i went in bios , changed boot order, guess happened in install of ubuntu changed mbr (master boot record) guess grub?

that correct. grub allow option of booting both windows , ubuntu. windows mbr allow boot windows.

i dont know drivers need load windows 7 showing. when showing want make sure have grub mbr on second hard drive. labeled c windows , e ubuntu.

click on dash home > type terminal in search box > click on terminal icon > copy , paste code in terminal: sudo fdisk -l > copy , paste results here.

show partitions have , on them. grub should automatically give option of booting ubuntu (default) , windows.
