I have 500gb of HDD, my partition are like this
- 80 GB windows (primary partition) /dev/sda1
- 80 GB ubuntu 12.04 (primary partition) (/dev/sda2)
- and remaining extended partition of >300 GB (/dev/sda4)
my motherboard is efi compatible, initially i installed window in efi mode of bios, after a lot workaround of installing dual boot system in efi mode i switched back to legacy mode
I installed ubuntu 12.04 after switching back to legacy mode and every time i start my system windows xp start. I tried to rewrite grub from live cd these are the commands i got from many site
sudo mount /dev/sdx /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdx
I have rewrite grub in /dev/sda which is root of my hdd and then i wounded up with following error "no such partition grub rescue" i googled for this error and got many things to do but before doing further action on this i thing error is because of switching from efi to legacy. Should i format my hdd and with raw hdd, first i should install window and then ubuntu.
my question is: how efi and legacy BIOS maintain MBR record ?
