Hello,
I have just successfully installed LMDE. But what I miss is a boot menu to be shown after my machine boots. I have Windows 7 on my primary partition, LMDE on partition 2.
And I want a menu that lets me choose which OS I want to tun. Every other distribution I know has this feature to detect other OSes and to build an appropriate boot menu.
What now?
Greetings,
Simplex

How about this? let the LMDE Live DVD check your hard disk and check where it was installed
Run LMDE Live DVD, on a terminal type some commands and post results
1. sudo parted -l
2. sudo os-prober

Re: No boot menu afte installing
Here is what I get:
i have Windows installed on #2, mint on #4. oh, I see that #2 has no boot flag. How do I give it one? With gparted?
There is another strange partition of 100 MB before the Windows partition. I could not delete it and give the space to Windows (with gparted). It is not listed here. And the inux swap is last partition, not #1!
Code: Select all
ziegler@ziegler-NC10 ~ $ sudo parted -l
