I installed ubuntu 12.04 alongwith with Windows XP. But the system directly boots Ubuntu without giving grub selection menu. I opened a terminal up (ctrl-alt-t) and typed in the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
Then my password and followed by:
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
But i got the message as follows:
BuildiReading package lists... Doneng dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package boot
E: Unable to locate package repair
So now what should I do? Please help as I cannot access Windows XP...
sudo update-grub
, this will identify Xp i guess. And this is wrong way of using apt-getsudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
, it should be onlysudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
sudo os-prober
in the terminal and post the output (if any). If it produces no output, then please also run boot info script: bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net and post the RESULTS.txt which it produces.sudo bash ~/Downloads/boot_info_script.sh
. I assume that since you're trying to run boot info script,sudo os-prober
produced no output. Is that correct?
