Ubuntu 16.04/Windows 7 Dual-Boot

CompGee · Apr 23, 2016

Windows 7 was installed first. The GRUB bootloader was installed to the partition that has Ubuntu on it. No GRUB menu, W7 boots instantly. Any help? Thanks.

Are both install on the same physical drive? If they are on different drives set from bios for it to boot from the drive you have Ubuntu installed or install grub on the drive with Windows.

Edit. you need to have grub installed on the boot sector of the drive the computer boots from, otherwise you would need for example a floppy to use as a boot device when wanting to boot to Linux.

EasyBCD provides for easy way to manage Windows boot manager (so you can add Linux partition to it, and select it during Windows boot)

I've already gone Linux-only. Don't want Microsoft's mess with W10, and Windows Update is so darned throttled back that I can't stand it.

Nothing has ever frustrated more than updating a fresh windows 7 install. That takes a minimum of 2 days

CompGee :

Your first post left me with the impression that you want dual-boot, so my recommendation for EasyBCD.

If you boot into WIndows after you have "installed" Ubuntu - there's something wrong in your approach.
