Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
Hello people. I have one problem that I have not managed to solve, so I need help:). however I have Windows 7 on the C: partition and Windows XP, and Linux Mint (inside windows) on the D: partition and then I decided to format D: partition and make a full installation of Linux Mint 9 KDE, everything went well until I saw to i dont have any more opportunity to choose Windows 7.. only Mint . All the files under Windows are still there and I wonder if I can somehow get back to Windows 7? Thanks in advance. Greeting

Have you tried running "Sudo update-grub" in terminal? This will often pick up the missing OS and add it to the Grub menu.
Re: Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
just trying to confirm here ... you have checked all the boot option in grub but are not able to see windows entry ... correct ?
Re: Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
yes.. i can see Linux mint, LM recovery mode, and 2x memory test and that is all..
Re: Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
When you see those items listed , did you press the UP key further, there may be more listed above that will become visible, or also the DOWN key as far as it will scroll.
Re: Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
When startup computer and I keep the shift key, I only have these 4 options and also when I go to the startup manager, there i can also see only the above mentioned four options..
Re: Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
Im trying to get my head around this...do you have a screenshot from partition editor which you can post.
You say you overwritten this D drive with mint...on your hard disk I assume.
With a pic from partitition manager it may become more obvious

Re: Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
Which disk did you install grub to /dev/sda or /dev/sdb?
It needs to be on /dev/sda.
It needs to be on /dev/sda.
Re: Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
on /dev/sda, /dev/sdb is my external hard drive.
Re: Problem with dual boot linux mint 9 kde
why do i see ntfs on an extended partition ? ideally it should be on primary partition as per my knowledge.
anyways try this link and edit grub entries.
