Hi, everybody. I've got some trouble, and I hope somebody could help me out.
Here is the trouble: After I successfully installed Ubuntu 11.04 from LiveCD, I failed to boot into it. Everytime I restarted my PC, it directly boot into my windows 7 as usual.
My partition as follows:
sda1: SYSTEM_DRV (windows 7 reserved)
sda2: WIN7_OS
sda3: linux_swap, 2G
sda4: root of Ubuntu, EXT4
I'm really new to Ubuntu, and this is really my first time installing Ubuntu. One thing I'm not sure was that when I installed Ubuntu, there's a menu asking "Device for boot loader", and I chose my disk0 which is sda, rather than sda1(SYSTEM_DRV of windows 7) or sda2(OS of windows 7). Should I have chosen sda1?
Is there any way I can quickly fix it, such as fix grub2 or something?
I then tried to install it again and choose sda1 this time, but still fail to boot into Ubuntu.
What's wrong? I think I should be fine because most people do install this way and their systems do work well.
Problem solved. I followed the rules of "select the root partition as the "Device for boot loader installation"" from this article
