Hello everyone,
I am having a problem using EasyBCD to dual-boot Windows 7 and Xubuntu 13.04. I will list the way my partitions are set up:
dev/sda
- dev/sda1 // This is my system partition for windows
- dev/sda2 // This is my windows installation
- dev/sda3 // This is my Linux /boot partition
- dev/sda4 // This is my Linux / partition
dev/sdb
- dev/sdb1 // This is my Windows documents partition
- dev/sdb2 // This is my linux swap partition
- dev/sdb3 // This is where I installed my /home partition for Linux
I am having trouble figuring out where to install the Grub bootloader so that I can use EasyBCD to dual boot. It seems like I have tried installing it on every partition except dev/sda because I don't want to overwrite the Windows bootloader. Whenever I make an entry for it in EasyBCD, it just gives me this weird grub prompt and won't actually boot into Xubuntu. Windows boots fine. Any input on how to fix this?
