Win7 gone from Grub after update

[darlid01]

I thought I found a thread about this already, but now I can't find it. I know I need to edit the Grub to put the entry back in for Win7, but I'm not sure what to put in. I'm also not sure where the file is that I need to edit. Ubuntu 10.10 is working great, but I also need Win7 for some work stuff.

I'm one of those users that can get around using the GUI and if I know what I'm supposed to put in Terminal I can do so, but I'm no programmer. Let me know what info you need. I attached the bootscript results.

[darlid01]

Oh, and FYI, it was all working fine until the last update to 10.10. It booted into grub and I could pick between Ubuntu or Win7 (Or memtest) So somehow the update borked it.

[degarb]

I am a novice at best.

But should she auto detect the other os's? Should this not be possible?

I understand grub may disappear if you reinstall winodows, but grub is easy to reinstall from live cd (though an ap SHOULD be written for live cd to make this graphical, to alleviate having to regoogle the how to guide.)

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. There is no Windows on your sda drive. If it was on that drive it has now been over-written.
Is the update you were talking about an upgrade? From 10.04 to 10.10 ?

It may be possible to get some data or part of the Windows system back by using testdisk, but you should stop using Ubuntu immediately as by using it you are effectively over-writing anything that could be recovered. Use the Live cd desktop instead.

[degarb]

What could have caused this? What user error?

The only thing I can think of is accidentally deleting a windows partition during a full install. (for new users' ease the installer should ask: What partitions should we take space away for Ubuntu? Not resize>new. Though, I didn't try the auto route for fear of the too auto extreme.)

[Quackers]

If the OP was "upgrading" to 10.10 by clean installing it, the new installer can easily over-write existing operating systems if "install alongside" option is used.

[nebileix]

Have u tried to do this?


$sudo update-grub

[presence1960]

It looks like your windows is on sda1, but is somehow corrupted. You can boot the windows 7 install disk and choose Repair. It will search for windows installs. Make sure your windows is highlighted & click next. Choose command prompt and run
chkdsk C: /r

After it completes which may take a while type exit and reboot. See if windows boots.

I do not know how you are booting to ubuntu because GRUB is not installed in the MBR, but lilo is there. Lilo provides a generic windows bootloader for the MBR.

After doing the above post another boot info script results please.

[Quackers]

Doh! You're absolutely right presence1960, I'm a fool.
I thought sda1 not mounting was due to it being Win 7's boot partition. I failed to look at its size!
My apologies to the OP for scaring them!

[presence1960]

No you definitely are not a fool! We all make mistakes. You do a lot of good in here. If we can get sda1 fixed all the OP will have to do is reinstall GRUB.

[presence1960]

Have u tried to do this?


$sudo update-grub

That will accomplish nothing because GRUB is not installed in the MBR...see below from OP's boot info script results:


============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================

=> Lilo is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda


The boot info script is an excellent tool for troubleshooting boot problems. if you need to learn how to interpret it's output just ask, many of us here will be glad to help. I say this because without the boot info script for boot problems we are really shooting in the dark and running multiple commands blindly can do more harm than good in the end.

[Quackers]

Thank you, but I really should take more time to wake up before posting!
You're right, of course.

haha.. oopss my bad.. I only see the OP title and missed out the lilo in the result.

haha.. oopss my bad.. I only see the OP title and missed out the lilo in the result.

no problem, just trying to help. That's how I got schooled in here.

[darlid01]

Thanks guys. I will run chkdsk on sda1 and repost the script results.

[darlid01]

ran chkdsk then rebooted.

Still not finding Win7
Could this be because I have McAfee Endpoint Encryption installed in Win7? It was working with the encryption before the last update, but then os-prober ran and now there is no Win7.

[wilee-nilee]

I suspect it is the Mcafee, it is showing a partition and the right size, but it is encrypted, at least the access to it correct?

So it was working before, but is the boot up the same was there a Mcafee screen at the Windows choice, when you could get there. Is there a Mcafee recovery disc.

You might consider truecrpyt, next time around, it is just encryption, but open source and works on all the major platforms, and has e recovery option disc.

[darlid01]

The thing is that McAfee was there before and it was working before. I may look into the option of decrypting it, but since this is a corporate environment, I have to use their encryption tools. If it was totally up to me, I wouldn't even have Win7 on this box. I already have a virtualbox Win7 and it works for almost everything except for navigating the security on the wireless in this place.

So, I am thinking that Lilo or Grub needs to be told to boot from that partition even though it doesn't see Win7. Does that sound correct?

If I am unable to figure this out, then I'll have to reinstall Win7 again, shrink it, install Ubuntu, then I'll post the script so you guys can see what it looks like. I'm curious now what the entry was.

[darlid01]

Well, I've rebuilt the system.
Here's the script. We'll see if it holds this time.
I made sure to use Grub thistime as well.

So can any of you guys figure out where it went wrong?
Or better yet, how to fix without reinstalling Win7 again?

[oldfred]

The lilo boot loader works just like windows in that it just jumps to the partition boot sector to load additional code. The grub2 boot stanza is doing exactly the same thing.

But grub2 installs additional boot code in the sectors just after the MBR and before the first partition. There have been issues with windows software overwriting grub2's code and it installs hidden info in the same area. That area is supposed to be for booting but windows software designers only think windows.

Grub2 modified its code to work around flexnet which is one of the major DRM providers and uses sector 32.

Does your encryption software then write keys into the boot area like flexnet is and grub is over writing that same area?

Does windows start to load as the boot is in sda2 which the windows boot stanza in the grub menu points to. I do not think the boot script can see anything in the sda1 partition as it is encrypted, so it looks damaged but is probably ok.

Edit:
Quick scan of this talks about boot sectors and using BartPE to recover data:
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=PD22404

Edit 2:
I think the bottom line is that with the windows encryption, you cannot let grub install to the MBR. You have to install to the Partition boot sector (even though not recommended) and use windows to chain to grub. Or install Ubuntu to another drive so both systems are totally separate, if you can choose what to boot in BIOS.

I have access to EEtech so I should be able to get my data back, plus I have a backup from right before this happened, but I wish I knew how to keep it from happening. Right now my only recourse is to reimage and start over. When I was done last time everything worked fine, but when I upgrade it switches from LILO to Grub and never asks first. Then nothing works in Grub.

Best to have a separate drive. I installed to a flash drive and it is a bit slow but works. You could just install grub to the flash drive.

To get a choice on where to install grub2's boot loader you have to use manual install or With Natty Manual partitioning is Something Else.

Grub2 does not like to be installed to a partition, but will work. This issue is it has limited room so it uses blocklists or hard coded addresses. If grub gets updated and files move you would have to reinstall grub.
