rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1760 / 2 Years ago, sun, april 3, 2022, 8:06:47

I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 using Live USB. I installed ubuntu in a totally empty partition with ext4 file system. Now when I restart the computer the loader takes me directly to windows 7 without giving me an option to choose ubuntu or windows. when I insert the USB drive and restart the computer a weird red screen appears when I boot from the USB with a term GRUB in a few lines. And it gives me option that i dont know anything about like load windows with SLIS or Load Windows without SLIS or something. When I go into windows the partition that i installed ubuntu in is totally vanished.I am able to use the try ubuntu option through which I have a access to Ubuntu O.S.

Please HELP me

You should perform boot repair on your system using the access to Ubuntu from USB.

Run following commands in terminal as root

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo sed 's/trusty/saucy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
