I cannot boot Linux after adding Windows 7 to a Windows XP-SP3 and multiple versions of Linux in multiboot system using GRUB.
I have a home made computer with two IDE drives that I have partitioned for Windows and Linux:
Drive 0:
Partition 0 (hd0,0): Windows XP SP3, NTFS, Primary Partition
Partition 1 (hd0,1): Windows 7, NTFS, Primary Partition
Partition 3 (hd0,3): Extended Partition containing:
Partition 4 (hd0,4): linux swap
Partition 5 (hd0,5): Linux Ubuntu 8.10, ext3
Partition 6 (hd0,6): Linux Fedora 10, ext3
Partition 7 (hd0,7): Linux Paipix 7.10, ext3
Partition 8 (hd0,8): Linux Ubuntu 8.04, ext3
Partition 9 (hd0,9): Backup,fat32, not bootable - just data
Drive 1:
Partition 0 (hd1,0): unused,ext3, Primary Partition
Partition 2 (hd1,2): windows swap, NTFS, Primary Partition
Partition 1 (hd1,1): Extended Partition containing:
Partition 4 (hd1,4): Linux PC Linux OS 2007, ext3
Partition 5 (hd1,5): Linux Mint 4, ext3
Partition 6 (hd1,6): Linux Ubuntu Studio, ext3
Partition 7 (hd1,7): Linux OpenSUSE 11, ext3
Partition 8 (hd1,8): Linux EarOS, ext3
Partition 9 (hd1,9): Linux Posiedon 3, ext3
Partition 10 (hd1,10): Linux ulteo, ext3
Partition 11 (hd1,11): Linux PC/OS, ext3
Partition 12 (hd1,12): Linux data, ext3, not bootable - just data
All Linux operating systems have GRUB in their partition boot records now.
Installation order was Windows XP SP3, Linux OS's then Windows 7.
Prior to installing Windows 7, GRUB stage 1 for PC Linux OS 2007 was in the MBR of Drive 0. At boot the system brought up the menu.lst of PC Linux OS 2007 that was used to multiboot to Windows and all the other Linux OSs.
After the installing Windows 7, it replaced GRUB in the MBR of Drive 0 with it's bootloader.
I then installed EasyBCD in Windows 7 and GRUB stage 1 in PC Linux OS partition boot record.
I can boot to Windows XP or Window 7 but not to any Linux OS even after I set up Linux in EasyBCD and NeoGRUB.
I get "File: \NST\nst-grub.mbr" "Status: 0xc00000f" "Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt."
I get the same message for the Linux entry except for the file name is the linux.mbr.
I have reinstalled EasyBCD 1.7.1 or 1.7.2 multiple timws wth no success.
Any Ideas?
