I am a newbie to Ubuntu. I was trying to dual boot my Windows 7 PC.
SO, I made a bootable USB and proceeded to install Ubuntu 12.04
I am aware that during installation there are three options:
1. Install alongside Windows 7
2. Get rid of Windows 7
3. Something else
Well, the Something else
option gave me something else than what I thought.
Before I installed Ubuntu I had 4 partitions (including System Reserve), C D E.
C is where Windows 7 was
D is where data was (and still is)
E is where I decided to install Ubuntu.
So, I went to the Something Else
option, selected the /sda4/
which was E:/
drive and clicked on Install Now
.
All went well. On restart, it started Ubuntu (wasn't I supposed to get an option to boot either this or Windows 7?)
Now, the data is there. However, I do not get the option to start Windows. How do I get that option back ?
Update:
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Manually editing the GRUB entries
2. Try BoorRepair
By using boot repair I can boot to either Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
However, there is no option to choose from the two at start up.
