I'm using university PC which is Lenovo that came with Windows 8. I want to install Ubuntu to it. I've backed the data up, made extended partition, and installed Ubuntu. I have done this before to other PC and it went good. But not this time. This time after I installed it, Grub was not detecting Windows 8, so I tried to use Boot Repair. It didn't work. I've tried everything, but it just doesn't work. Boot Repair always showed different error prompt.

Can I just start over by installing new Ubuntu? Will that work? To make clear: I don't know what UEFI is, is that relevant to the installation process (I installed Ubuntu by old fashioned way, same with Windows 7)?

Please help...

It sounds like you need to run update-grub from within Ubuntu, and may need to install/check os-prober

See this A. for a little more info, and an option to manually edit the grub.cfg config file https://askubuntu.com/a/12127/129271

  • After reading updated comments, it sounds like Ubuntu may not be installed correctly after all, so this may not apply...
