Couldn't Boot to both Ubuntu 18.04.1 and Windows 7
Here is the case,
Previously my laptop (only 1 physical hardrive, with 2 partition, ie: C: and D:) were using Windows 7 Premium (64-bit), then I plan to make in dual boot, so it will eventually become Windows 7 Premium x64 (already installed) and Ubuntu 18.04.1.
1st Method that I tried:
- Burn Ubuntu iso image file to USB using Rufus,
- Boot from USB,
- Using gParted, I shrink the size of
D:drive and it will generate more than 100GBunallocated disk space, - Then I install the Ubuntu inside those
unallocated disk space.
However, during installation I encounter following errorgrub-efi-amd64-signed failed installation /target/,
So, I follow this solution, See: 2nd Method.
2nd Method that I tried:
- Following steps are used since I face installation problem from 1st Method,
- Just like first method, with some additional steps,
- Using gParted, instead of just shrink the size of
D:drive, I also shrink the size ofC:and it will generate more than 100GBunallocated disk spacefor both drives, - From the
unallocated disk spaceofC:I divide the partition into 2 partition, one is forEFI System Partition (Fat32, Logical)and the other one is forlinux-swap(v1), - Then, i install Ubuntu to
unallocated drivefromD:
- The installation went smooth, i.e. no problem during installation,
However, when trying to boot into Ubuntu without USB plugged in, it just wont boot, and now my Windows 7 can't boot too.
I guess it messes up the GPT or MBR thing (I think my old Windows 7 is using Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI, now I just want to get back to my previous state of my laptop which is using existing Windows 7, how to do that?
Thanks,
