Thread: Reinstalled Windows after installing Ubuntu, now only boots to Windows

hi all,

after running ubuntu exclusively month or remembered update bios need windows. made 50gb ntfs partition , installed windows onto it, system boots windows. tried booting live cd , running boot-repair @ end said make sure bios set boot /dev/sdb (the ssd, attached hard drive, on ubuntu installed). however, because ssd integrated hard drive (i have samsung series 7) can boot terabyte hard disk , not ssd bios. interesting noticed on running gparted live cd /boot partition (at beginning of hard disk, had before windows install) still seems have linux-y things in (init.d, memtest) , gparted detects windows file system still thinks previous partition old size, not 50gb smaller should be.

insight or possible fixes appreciated!

try these steps:
- insert live cd of ubuntu version installed on computer.
- select 'try ubuntu' not 'install ubuntu'
- open terminal , type these commands:

code:

sudo -i

code:

fdisk -l

now can list partitions on hard.
find partition have system linux.
there system column in list

type these commands:

code:

mount /dev/sda? /mnt

where ? nuber of sda

type:

code:

gtup-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev

and reboot system
