Boot help
Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2012 6:53 pm
Hello everyone,
after trying ubuntu for a month (had it installed on my desktop pc, wubi install) I decided to get mint 14 on my laptop for good. however after installing from a usb stick, the laptop would go straight to win7 without the menu as in my desktop pc.
I was just able to fix this by using boot repair.
Apologies for my noob question but now when I boot the pc and GRUB comes up, I get mint as my first option and then 2 or 3 additional options for windows(none of them says win7) I tried one that read something similar as "windows efi boot" I tried it and it all looks fine, but just want to make sure that it is booting to my "regular windows" sorry If this is a dumb question but as you might ralize I'm not exactly a tech.
I was expecting something similar as my laptop pc wher it only says "ubuntu" or "windows 7", so basically just ant to check that this list is the usual GRUB one and not something as consecuence of a bad install and also confirm that I won't have any issues running windows that way
Sorry for the bad English and Thanks in advance
