Dual Boot Ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 7 - on YouTube [this video] I found the video above to be very helpful. You may also want to consider partitioning your hard drive as described below, which will allow you to access data files from both Windows and Ubuntu. I suggest using Windows Disk Manager to do this if you are more familiar with Windows. GParted, the disk management tool in Ubuntu, can also accomplish it -- but make sure the partition you create is NTFS format. (Windows can only use NTFS; Linux can "see" both Linux partitions and NTFS, but Windows can't) One partition for Windows recovery and system files One partition for Windows OS and related files (These are probably already in place sin

I installed Ubuntu using this tutorial: [this video] But it doesn't show the grub menu when I startup, it only boots into Ubuntu. I can look in my hard drive via the File manager and clearly see Windows is still installed, so I didn't accidently install Ubuntu over it or anything. I read on many forums that installing and running boot-repair from the Live-CD would solve the problem, but it didn't. I ran it twice, so I have two URLS: paste.ubuntu.com/6023342 paste.ubuntu.com/6023353 Can anyone help me? I'm desperate to be able to log back into Windows. I've seen a few threads saying that their install will only boot into Windows, but no one with my problem of only booting into Ubuntu.

All I am trying to do is dualboot the latest Ubuntu and Windows 7 on my fairly new HP Mini 200. I am using this video: [this video] for guidance. I have "partitioned" (set aside) 15GB of space to install Ubuntu. Here is a link to a photo of the installation process I am currently stuck at. [LINK] I don't know what to do from here. Should I delete /dev/sda4 (HP Tools)?? If so, how?? Apparently it contains the BIOS part of the startup menu... Any help will be very appreciated.
