Grub-Mint10 & win7

[vp70]

Hello, I need help. I had a Mint 9 now installed the version 10. Everything went well but when the Grub menu appears and choose the option win7 can not enter the seven. Someone help me? Thank you.

The command is "update-grub" or "sudo update-grub" depending on your current user permissions. Might try that ... could work. Thing about windows 7, it's got an issue with nudging it's partition. For some strange reason doesn't start on the normal block of the disk anymore.

If update-grub doesn't work could get involved. Lemme see if I can google a fix for ya. May as well, I'm not getting anything done anyway ... sighs.

This seemed relevant: Incase update-grub doesn't do the trick.

Another good one that seemed highly relevant too.

Also you know to reboot after running sudo update-grub o course. If it doesn't correct it, your fix is almost certainly in one of those links ... Don't panic you'll work it out.

Open Terminal, type this:

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

and press Enter. Type your password, now you will see Grub looking for operating systems on your partitions.

Hello guys, thanks for the reply. I opened the terminal sudo update-grub "and found the Linux partitions and win7. Reboot and choose the win7, but could not enter. Please I need help, thanks.

You might try reinstalling grub, in case something went wrong during installation. Open terminal and type: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
Then when it's done, do sudo update-grub and see if it works.
