Silver_Moon Record enthusiast Registered: 09/15/09 Posts: 2519 Loc: Teetering between IL and AZ	I just installed Windows 7 on a separate partition from Ubuntu in an attempt to dual boot, but Windoze has completely taken over and I can't boot with Ubuntu anymore. How can I dual boot without having to reinstall Ubuntu and lose everything? _________________________ "I'm a little bit more unusual so I've always considered myself the black sheep." - Ann Wilson

The links are all from help.ubuntu.com If you need more, go to the Search at the top of any of the links above and try dual boot windows and ubuntu. I'm impressed you're even trying this.

Amazing how open source software can be written so that it respects boot privileges, but MS with all the money that it puts into Windows development can't figure out that it gets nothing but bad press for its games. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

I'll report back here when I'm done. _________________________ "I'm a little bit more unusual so I've always considered myself the black sheep." - Ann Wilson
