-

so yesterday installed ubuntu onto main 2.2 tb hdd beside windows 7 home edition (on different partition). made /, /home, swap plenty of space (24 gb home, 8200 mb swap, , 800 gb root (which shrunk @ point)). created 2 mb bios boot partition grub2's core.img in it. booted computer today, , when hdd loaded, gave me error windows 7 being unable boot. said boot normally, , did fine. error doesn't show more, ubuntu totally ignored. results boot info script (sda1 being hdd) attached below. computer specs follows: motherboard: msi 890fxa-gd70, ram: 8 gb corsair vengeance, hdd: seagate barracuda 2.2 tb, cpu: amd phenom ii x4 975 oc'd 4.06. thanks! -portablesounds

welcome forums. should have sizes of /home , / other way around. /home personal data - music, movies, documents, whatever - going go. that, 800gb better; 24gb , far 'plenty of space' /home, in fact opposite.

don't need bigger 15-20gb /. os , apps stored there (i've never used bigger 15gb /).

should give boot repair go. check repositories might in there now, if not:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/boot-repair

/ = 15-20gb
/home = big want
/swap = 2gb need. 8gb waste of space.

in order. 1 other thing remember, although may aware, 4 primary partitions max on 1 physical drive. generally, 3 primary , extended partition many logical drives inside that.
