I tried to set up a dual boot system with win7. I shrank my win7 partition by 75 gigs (it was taking up the entire HD), burned the 11.04 64bit to a CD, and restarted. The CD booted fine and I chose "install alongside windows", and the install seemed to go fine. After prompting for a restart, I get a black screen with an error message that changes every restart (usually a string of numbers/letters that it says does not exist), followed by a command prompt. I can't boot into either Linux or Windows, right now I'm just using the cd. I have 2 harddrives in RAID 0 format, but I'm not sure if that's an issue.
i found the boot info script in another thread and ran it. Seems like a lot of unknowns/errors?
