My laptop had Ubuntu pre-installed in it. I installed Windows 7 from USB by following the steps from How can I install Windows after I've installed Ubuntu?

Windows booted fine before I ran boot-repair. However, after I installed and ran the boot-repair from the Ubuntu live CD, Windows has stopped booting. Just a blank screen appears and nothing happens. What to do?

Thanks in advance.

Not an answer, but because that's too much for putting it into a comment. You can read more on all of these popular threads.

  • Thanks for your answer. But, I'm not installing Ubuntu on pre-installed Windows, I'm doing the other way round. Plus, It's WIndows 7 so it doesn't have the UEFI issues :-)

  • No worries. I guess at least three from the list for your case nevertheless: How can I install Windows after I've installed Ubuntu?,Windows 8 removes Grub as default boot manager, Windows 8 deletes GRUB when booting Aug 3, 2014 at 10:28

Just a suggestion, and that should solve your issues as long as you don't mind wiping your disk or having the trouble of backing up / moving files around between systems.

Best choice would be to wipe your disk, install Windows first using the first partition and then Ubuntu alongside it.

  • ha! That is a very expensive option for me ;-) Anyways, I don't know how, but Windows starts properly on every second reboot. I'll try to deduce the trick behind this magic!
