After setting up Ubuntu 11.10 to dual-boot with Win7 Pro on an ASUS EEE 1000HE netbook, and then following the directions for setting up EasyBCD to be the first bootloader (with GRUB2 coming 2nd), I always get the message "BootMgr not found. Press any key to restart"
But when I press a key, up comes the BCD configured by EasyBCD!
If I choose Linux, GRUB2 comes up next, with an option to load Windows as well as various sorts of Ubuntu 11.10.
Both multi-booters seem to work, but there is one major problem I have spotted:
Hibernation no longer works in Win7 -- neither by software menu selection or use of the power button which I have traditionally set for hibernation. That is a major loss for me.
My instincts say the "BootMgr not found" error and the loss of hibernation are linked somehow. I did have to use bcdedit to create a new BSD after the ubuntu install, because EasyBCD could not find the old one and was completely grayed out until I created a (blank) BCD file and had EasyBCD open and edit it. I probably missed a trick not backing up my old EasyBCD config. so I could restore it without creating a new BCD (or maybe that would not have made the difference?)
Is there any way to get Hibernation back without causing too much trouble to the boot loaders?
