[Bug 1079482] Re: Windows 7 Not Booting

[Phillip Susi]

You seem to be conflating two unrelated errors.  One involving mounting
your windows partition from within Ubuntu, and one with booting windows.
If you want to clear the hibernation file and mount the partition from
Ubuntu, you need to prefix the command with sudo to get super user
permissions.  See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for more information.

When you try to boot windows, is there any error message from grub?
Please run this script and add the results to this report:

Title:
  Windows 7 Not Booting

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My computer came with Windows 7 installed on it. I wanted to try
  Ubuntu, so I installed it alongside Windows 7 and everything was fine.
  I needed more space on my Windows 7 partition, so I deleted the Ubuntu
  partition from the hard drive. When I went to restart I got a blank
  screen. I reinstalled Ubuntu allongside Windows 7 and was able to
  restart and boot Windows. The next day I got the same blank screen, so
  I reinstalled Ubuntu over Ubuntu, leaving the Windows 7 partition
  alone. After that, when I try to boot Windows 7 it keeps sending me
  back to the select an OS page. I get an error that says:

  The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
  properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
  mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
  For example type on the command line:

              mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda3 /media/OS

  whenever I try to access the Windows OS portion of the hard drive.

  When I try the command it does not work and I get a message saying
  that "only root can do that"

  I can not resume Windows to shut it down properly though, because I
  must first unhibernate Windows.

  I believe this mat be a bug.
