Install Windows 7 after installing Ubuntu
Well, as you all know, before you install Windows 7 on a PC with Ubuntu installed, we must partition the disk, so it got from where you have the Ubuntu Live CD and start from there, try to boot Ubuntu without changing selecionados your computer.
Once you've booted the Live CD, we're going to System> Administration>> Gparted, where resize the hard drive (we must bear in mind that Windows recognizes the partitions by letters, not numbers, so if you resize the disk and 7, you're going to give 40GB for example, when installing Windows, you must find the partition that is commensurate with the size), and also put the new partition as FAT, (so Windows can recognize the)
We apply the changes and reboot.
We now introduce the DVD of Windows 7 and the time to install, select Advanced.
We selected the FAT partition that we made and we Delete, then, that raw space, we give in again, and select the NTFS file system.
We continue with the installation to finish.
Now we can not go to Ubuntu but to enter follow the instructions below:
Loading the livecd of ubuntu, open a terminal and type:
sudo grub
The sudo is important. I will not ask key
grub once write:
root (hd0, 0)
where hd0, 0 is the disk and partition where you currently ustala ubuntu. if ubuntu is on the first partition, it will be hd0, 0. if the second partition, it will be in hd0, 1. and so on.
then
setup (hd0)
and
quit
and reboot. you will have your grub as before + windows.
if it is not windows from ubuntu you have to edit the grub menu.lst
type in a console in ubuntu
sudo gedit / boot / grub / menu.lst
Go down to the bottom of the list and type the following:
title Windows 7
root (hd0, 1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
again, using (hd0, X) depending on where your windows partition.
And smart.
