It is my first time installing Ubuntu (14.04). I have Windows 7 installed on my first HDD, and installed ubuntu on my second one.

To install I followed the instructions on this website: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2014/05/31/dual-boot-ubuntu-14-04-windows-7-on-a-pc-with-2-hdds-and-uefi-firmware/

I hit Esc during boot and Grub only shows Ubuntu and Advanced options. However if I enter boot menu on my BIOS I can click on the name of my first HDD and it boots straight to windows.

How can I get Grub to show my Windows 7?

One more thing which seems wrong: After loading up Ubuntu I first get this message:

[ 10.040229] systemd-undevd[343]: Error calling EVIOCSKEYCODE: Invalid Arguments.

then it boots normally to my Ubuntu log in screen.

How can I fix this? Thank you in advance! :)

  • Most Windows 7 systems were BIOS installed. Are you sure yours was UEFI? Both systems have to be installed in same boot mode either UEFI or both BIOS for grub menu to be able to boot Windows.

  • Mine is UEFI, I put it together myself. I am not sure if I installed W7 in UEFI mode. How do I find out?

  • If Windows drive is gpt then it has to be UEFI, if MBR(msdos) then it has to be BIOS. Also if you have an efi partition then it is UEFI. Post this for sda. sudo parted -l and sudo fdisk -lu If gpt the fdisk will only show that it is gpt and not show any detail.

  • Do I type in sudo parted -l sda and similar for fdisk in the terminal? Sorry, I am very new to this!

  • just 'sudo parted -l' without quotes will work. That is an el, not one - 1 or eye - I.

try entering ubuntu, open the terminal and type "sudo update-grub", maybe after this you can see windows on your boot menu.
