Background : I am a windows user and i just want to use dualboot windows 7 and ubuntu, and my pc is so old, cause i heard that ubuntu is lightweight and i want to give it a try, i have an old hdd with 3 partitions, and when i install linux, it has 4 now, i allocated 45gb to linux
So everytime i try to open windows with grub, it just goes to grub the screen again and i tried a couple times but it still wont boot to windows, i already tried the sudo update-grub on the terminal, i checked the file explorer and there is still my windows folder, and when i updated grub it says Found Windows 7 on /dev/sda1. and i also made a copy of the 04_custom file on etc/grub.d/04_custom to add a menuentry which i copied this from here, i also made a copy of the 04_custom file and added a menuentry from grub.cfg (i named the file "06_name" for the one i copied from ubuntu forums and "07_name" for the ones i copied from grub.cfg, and because it says i can name it everything in Here) and i updated grub. but i still can't acess Windows. heres what my 07_name looks like
i also tried adding ntldr /bootmgr after chainloader +1 in Here in the menu entry that looks like this ( copied from my grub.cfg ) ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry 'Windows 7 (on /dev/sda1)' --class windows --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-chain-38D470B7D47078C8' { but still, everytime i try to open windows with grub, it just goes back to the grub screen again
and i ALSO used boot repair, here is the code
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
but.. it still doesn't work
So what am i gonna do?, im a complete newbie to linux, i watch lots of tutorial videos. well if it still doesn't works, might as well reinstall windows :(
If you read all of this, thank you!, sorry for my bad english... any more questions?, i will try my best to awnser it nicely. If you have any solutions, please awnser, and sorry if what i told you is incomplete in some way
Thank you for helping me:)
