I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 64x alongside Windows 7(32bit) (Ubuntu after Windows 7) on my PC. Ubuntu installed properly without any errors. I installed grub on sda5 logical drive (one mounted with /boot), and os on sda6 (again logical) (mounted with /).



when i rebooted it took me to windows as windows bootloader is in mbr, on first primary partition of disk. I added the entry for ubuntu with easyBCD and when again rebooted there was an entry but i was taken to a prompt called grubfordos, which looks like grub rescue prompt.
in windows C drive i found folder LST and one .mbr file created by easyBCD i guess.



i dont know whats gone wrong. Please help.



PS i ahve swap area of 8 gb on sda7 (logical).

If this problem occurred to others, please try out 32 bit Ubuntu with 32bit Windows. I dont know exactly why, but it solved my problem.
