Thread: Cant boot into ubuntu or mint!
hi all, have no idea whats going on but, try install unbuntu on 80gb hdd , install goes fine reboot , boot windows ! grub boot loader doesnt load, go unistall via windows , says there error , boot bath cant found. tried installing os few days ago , partioned hdd 3 seperate 1 formatted ntfs , cant install linux o's! have done mbr on hdd?
are installing ubuntu within windows (i.e. wubi version)? or ordinary dual boot install?
if latter, there's point during installation grub asks, rather cryptically, whether want on mbr or partition. need on mbr.
(mbr contains bootloader mini-operating system points machine right partition load rest of os. windows point windows, grub will, after first boot , update command, point oses on drives.)
linux oses can run linux-formatted partitions. us, in practical terms, means ext3 or ext4, although there lots of others. ntfs , vfat windows formats, , hpfs mac format, none of support linux os. linux can read data on formats though.
