Hi, I recently used the windows installer to add ubuntu. It installed (I believe) but for some reason it doesn't work. When I start up it gives me the option to boot into ubuntu or windows 7 but when I choose ubuntu it hangs and kicks a bunch of killing sbin/modprobe commands.
So, I decided to try again and install 13.04 using the USB instead. It worked fine, it seems. However, now when I boot, it goes to Grub, which gives me 2 "windows 7" loaders and others (listed below). One of the windows 7 loaders loads directly to windows (sda2) while the other (sda1) takes me to a screen (the same one I had after using windows installer) and gives me the option to select Ubutnu or Windows 7. If I select sda1 then windows starts fine, but if I select Ubuntu then it it hangs up and does the same thing it used to (killing sbin/modprob). Are there two versions of Ubuntu installed? Can I get rid of one and how can I make grub so that it only gives me the option between windows and ubuntu? Thank you!!!
grub on boot lists the following:
Ubuntu
Adv options for Ubuntu
Memory Test
Memory Test (...)
Windows 7 (loader /dev/sda1)
Windows 7 (loader /dev/sda2)
Windows Recovery env dev/sda/3
