View Full Version : [SOLVED] Dual Boot Grub Problem no Win7 Option

February 27th, 2011, 01:53 PM
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 64-bit on an AMD platform, dual-boot with a windows 7 partition on my boot disk. All was well with the stock kernel 2.6.35-25-generic, but after compiling kernel 2.6.37.1 the option to boot Windows 7 has disappeared from the grub menu and I can't get it back.

My system has several disks, but boots from /dev/sdc, which is a solid-state disk. I did sudo grub-mkconfig, sudo update-grub and sudo grub-install /dev/sdc after installing the new kernel, but it isn't picking up the Windows 7 partition, which is /dev/sdc3 (I thought that was supposed to happen automatically using os-prober?). Linux itself boots fine with the new kernel.

I ran the boot_info_script055.sh and my RESULTS.txt follows. I'd appreciate insight as to what's wrong and how to fix ... Gus

Not sure if this is the same issue but:

I did a clean win 7 64 bit install then updated with sp1.
Installed linuxmint 10 kde 64 bit with standard kernel and grub had no menu listing for windows.
I then installed ubuntu again with the stock kernel and have the same issue.
Attempted to add by various methods but still no listing in grub for windows.
However the system suggests that the first partition overlaps it's boundary. sda1 is the windows boot partition.
As I say this may be related or a separte issue.
Going to test opensuse install to see if that picks it up.

..::Update::..
Seems this is not related to the above - resolved by reinstalling all os

According to os-prober Windows is being picked up


### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda3)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2c2b442124edf860
chainloader +1
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

I'm not sure why it doesn't appear in the grub menu.

Are you booting with grub legacy from the MBR in sdc? That is the only grub menu not showing windows.

The boot files in sdc1 show both menu.lst from grub legacy & grub.cfg from grub2.

I checked per above, and - somehow I had GRUB-legacy installed instead of GRUB2. Not sure how I did that - this is a relatively new install of Kubuntu 10.10, wherein GRUB2 is the default, and prior to my 2.6.37.1 kernel compile and install, GRUB2 was installed and working.

Anyway I deinstalled GRUB-legacy and installed GRUB2 andall is well including the Windows 7 boot option. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Gus
