Hello!<br><br>I've installed Ubuntu gnome alongside of windows 7, though since i had two partitions, i went through the manual installation.<br><br>before mentioning my problem, I'll say what i have done.<br>I had three partitions:<br>/dev/sda1: 100mb<br>/dev/sda2: 160gb (my windows partition)<br>/dev/sda3:330gb (for my ubuntu gnome)<br><br>I have selected /dev/sda3 for Linux installation and set the formatting options.<br>Then, i accidentally chose the /dev/sda1 for putting the grub booter, do to the orca (the screen reader) being buggy in the partitioning screen, it kept forcing me to fumble around with the keyboard.<br><br>What is happening now is that i can't load windows. I can't see the grub menu do to my visual impairment, but i suppose that the last item is always windows 7. i hold down the down arrow key for 5 seconds then press enter, and nothing happens.<br>I believe i have messed up
something by installing grub in /dev/sda1 which was 100mb?<br><br>Thank you<br><br>-- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com" href="mailto:Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
