Hi,
Ive been Dual-Booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8 for a few months now, I now use Ubuntu 90% of the time but I still need Windows for some unsupported Linux software.
I am fed up with the new Windows 8 GUI and am now reverting back to Windows 7 while upgrading to the SSD.
I did a clean DVD install of both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 on my SSD, while leaving the Windows 8 Partition as is, to transfer across important files.
Ive set Grub as the default bootloader, it detects my Windows 8 and Ubuntu partition's but not Windows 7. Any Ideas?
This is how my partitions are set up according to GParted:
