I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 64x alongside Windows 7 (Ubuntu after Windows 7) on my laptop. Ubuntu installed properly without any errors. When I booted the first time, I didn't see grub menu which should have come by default as Ubuntu overwrites winloader. Instead I saw Windows boot menu, which did not have an Ubuntu entry. So I added Ubuntu to the menu from Windows using easyBCD. I started seeing Ubuntu in the menu.

No problem till here. But when I select Ubuntu from the menu, I am taken to the grub4dos prompt. After a lot of research on the web I found a way to boot into Ubuntu using commands. This is what I do everytime to boot into Ubuntu:

>root (hd0,4)
>kernel /boot/vmlinuz* root=/dev/sda5 ro
>initrd /boot/init*
>boot

Then I found that such problem occurs due to corrupt grub and used the method here to restore it but no use

Does anyone know why I am taken to grub4dos on selecting Ubuntu from the menu or at least how to run a shell script (containing the above commands) from grub4dos so that I don't have to rewrite those commands repeatedly.

  • Yes, I am still in search for an answer. Do I post the exact question again @blueXrider ? – Kushagra Gour Jul 20 '12 at 18:27

  • Solved using 'boot-repair' finally :) Thanks. – Kushagra Gour Jul 27 '13 at 21:10
