I have Windows 7 x64 bits on my TravelMate P446-M laptop. The laptop comes with HDD that is already partitioned into two NTFS partitions around 250 GBytes and one hidden partition for recovery. I installed Ubuntu LTS 16.04 using Flash Memory. During the installation, I re-partitioned the second 250 Gbytes partition into the following three partitions:
- 50 Gbytes to mount the root '/' as ext4
- 190 Gbytes to mount '/home' as ext4.
- A partition for swap around 12 Gbytes.
I selected the place of the boot loader to be the whole hard-disk i.e. did not specify any partition. After I finished the installation, I am not able to find Ubuntu in the boot menu not even in the boot tab of the msconfig in Windows. I tried the boot-repair tool on live Ubuntu on the Flash Memory but nothing changed.
