Dual Boot Problems with Win7: Reloc offset is...
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 8:49 am
Hi,
please help me! I still have the 'reloc offset is out the segment' problem.
I read the discussion at
-> http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=39741
and went through the steps as given by
-> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
under 'Dual Booting' to update grub2 and reinstalled MBR. It worked for a couple of weeks, but today the MBR is
corrupted again (or whatever is the reason for the error), after finishing a Windows backup yesterday evening.
My hardware: new DELL Inspiron Desktop (quad-core).
Does anybody has a working reliable solution? What's the technical problem behind the issue?
Is there a way to downgrade to some stable grub which works? (I don't need special features,
just dual booting with windows 7)
I am really frustrated, since Linux MINT is really wonderful, but reinstalling the MBR every second
week is not acceptable on the long run...
Best,
AixMint
After a complete reinstall
