This is my problem. GRUB 2 replaced the boot entry for Windows 7 when I installed Windows XP. I tried to create my own menu entry for Windows XP
but it seamed to me that it was superseded by the Windows 7 boot loader.
Hi everyone,
I have a brand new desktop PC - Core i7 processor, 2 TB hard drive, 6 GB RAM.
My problem: I don't know how to bring back a menu entry that was over written / Superseded by another OS being detected by update-grub; in this case Windows 7. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 at the end of many other Linux OS's. So it is a Multi-boot setup.
Basically Windows XP has replaced the Windows 7 boot entry in the GRUB 2 Boot menu after running update-grub.
Then to get Windows 7 back I booted off the Windows 7 Install DVD and used the boot repair option.
This then changed the working Windows XP Boot Loader to boot Windows 7 which I wanted but there was a catch.
--> Windows XP didn't boot any more because it was replaced / Superseded.
The Linux OS's boot fine.
but it seamed to me that it was superseded by the Windows 7 boot loader.
