Alessandro17 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Do you have Windows Vista or 7 installed? If you do, let EasyBCD manage your multi booting. Grub2 is one of the buggiest pieces of {censored} ever. Else get rid of Ubuntu and, if you must use Linux, use a distro made with some common sense, like Debian.

Acro_Design Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hey yeah i decided a fresh install of ubuntu would be a good idea. i didn't notice the new installer had the grub installation option along with the partition tables instead of a separate window. I'm testing ubuntu because i have not used it since natty. let me say just one thing, there are signs of improvement and could see this as a viable secondary os as i am not to attached to it compared to lion. I'm now officially ditching windows as i see a chimera of an os coming to ruin windows for good. its called windows 8. i have been looking at fedora 16 if ubuntu doesn't work out or mint as this is getting massive hype at the moment. The thing is i have a very stable lion now and want to have a backup that can interact with a mounted hfs+ partition and also access the internet so i can look around for solutions for osx if it does fail. i could use a second lion install but id rather have an os that is independent. i can also use wine (i love hate it) to get a few windows programs i like going.

fos Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Here is a link to a procedure using fdisk. A solution like that has worked for me between Win XX and Linux. It might be worth consideration if you are still having problems. fos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
