Hi,
I've recently installed 14.02 over my 12.02 install using the LiveCD. The install itself went fine but when I rebooted, I got a "grub rescue" prompt. When I look at devices in BIOS, I've got a "ubuntu" device with a UEFI label over it. It seems to be booting up this. If I override the boot order and pick my hard drive, which doesn't have the UEFI label, I'm able to correctly boot up grub. Now I had 12.02 running alongside Windows 7 before this install and I notice this grub boot menu is slightly different to the old one. I can see both Ubuntu and Windows 7 in this menu. However I can only successfully boot up Ubuntu. Windows starts to load then immediately resets the machine. I remember having this problem when I originally installed 12.02 but boot-repair resolved it. However when I run boot-repair now, it complains about being in legacy mode. To be frank I'm totally at a loss as to what I should do to resolve this. Surely if I repair in UEFI mode then I won't be able to access my Windows partition and storage disc? I'm currently in Ubuntu and I can see my Windows 7 partition mounted so I haven't deleted it, I just can't boot it up :(
Ideally I'd like to remove this UEFI device from the boot order and get Windows booting up. I'd really appreciate some help!
Here's my boot-repair summary: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10700570/
Thanks.
