I have Windows 7 on my hard disk and decided to dual boot with Ubuntu 10.10. I have installed this previously and not had a problem. However, this time Windows 7 is not showing up in the boot list sda. It is on the hard disk, I have checked using GParted. I have tried various fixes but nothing has worked.
On the partition it shows /dev/sda1 as ntfs System Reserved used 100 MIB
/dev/sda2 ntfs 515 Gib " 104.77 GIB
/dev/sda3 extended 415.47 Gib -
/dev/sda5 ext4 " 10.54 GIB
In the GParted at the top of the window where it shows the three partitions the box on the left /dev/sda2 on the right /dev/sda5
515.84 Gib 415.57 GiB
Could someone advise me on how I can get Grub to recognise Windows 7.
I did try to reinstall Ubuntu and I put the Grub / but this made no difference.
As you see I am not very experienced in the workings of Ubuntu.
Help gratefully received
