Hi Guys,
I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04.03 onto my laptop (Acer V3-571) so that I can dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 8. So far I have disabled fastboot, downloaded the boot up files onto a USB, changed from UEFI to BIOS Legacy and installed Ubuntu. I partitioned my hard drive, with 250MB for the \boot, 15Gb root partition, 75Gb home partition, 4Gb swap area and 10MB BIOS boot partition. I managed to install ubuntu successfully, however upon restart my laptop could not find any bootable device. I changed back to UEFI, went back to windows 8 and installed a dual boot program Easy BCD 2.2. When trying to dual boot Ubunutu, i get the error message "Windows failed to start.." then:
"File: \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr
Status: 0xc000007b
Info: Application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors"
Any tip in the right direction would be great,
Thanks,
Yasha
