Help: Cannot boot Windows with GRUB

here is the strangest thing i have ever met:
I cannot boot my Windows system after I installed Archlinux, which took me a huge amout of time
I think the menu.lst file has no problem, the windows lines as follow:
# (2) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
The weird thing is that I can mount any other ntfs partitions but /dev/sda1, which contains the windows os
when I try to mount it, the error is as follow:
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
WARNING: Couldn't set locale to 'zh_CN.UTF-8' thus some file names may not
be correct or visible. Please see the potential solution at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#locale
Error opening '/dev/sda1': Permission denied
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Permission denied
Please check '/dev/sda1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged
But with the same settings in /etc/fstab , I can mount other ntfs partitions, why???
I think the two problems above should be related

And I would advise to remove the bootable attribute from sda6, I doubt windows will like to "see" its own partition and another one marked as bootable, even if it's a logic partiton.

Hello everybody... im new to linux in general and arch caught my eye since i have an interest in learning programming... i figured arch's documentation was better than that supplied for ubuntu since it's more in depth and has the core utilities needed to get a base system running with in-depth explanations (which i like). trust me when i say, i have read almost all of the arch documentation more than
a few dozen times and have completed this successfully before...

any help would be amazing! i have no idea why at boot the computer searches for a network connection
instead of the GRUB! >.<
i am able to boot however with the Arch Live Disc and access my filesystem for both Arch and Windows 7
and resume normal use!

well, just as an update... i believe it is a software issue... i wiped my whole HDD with gparted and set the partitions with Arch Live Core Install medium and GRUB worked perfectly... i created an NTFS partition as well for Win 7... hopefully the Win Installer wont overwrite GRUB and use its own bootloader. i was re-reading an area of the wiki and found...
- GRUB must be installed on the MBR (first sector of the hard disk), or the first partition of the first storage device to be recognized by most BIOS's.
source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gr … stallation
hopefully i can just reinstall GRUB if needed with the Live Disc and i can boot win7 and arch like that...
if an suggestions, or comments, please...would be nice.

Cannot boot Windows 8 on HP Envy

Hello,
I have been through several support websites trying to solve the following problem and have not found a solution so far. I am having difficulty booting Windows 8 on my HP Envy 4 Ultrabook. Firstly when I try to login to Windows using my Windows 8 password it says "The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded".
Then following advice from other online support forums including this one, on restarting the computer then pressing F8 repeatedly I get the following message: "Boot device not found. Please install an OS on your hard disk. Hard disk (3F0).
Any help / support from here much appreciated.
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @BT14,
You could go ahead and do the recovery. However with the hard drive failing it may last a day, a week or a month, it is unknown. There is no way to know when it will completely fail.
You could be working on something that was very time consuming and important and suddenly it will fail and all would be lost.
If it were me I would replace the hard drive and then do the recovery. I would prefer to know that my notebook was in good working order and not worry about when it will fail on me.
Good Luck!

Help: Cannot boot from leopard disc anymore, everything else fine

I was working on an ibook and messing with it in firewire mode and was going to install leopard on it that way from my macpro. (just letting you know the context)
I tried to restart my machine(mac pro) and boot leopard both by pushing C and by running the installer.
I get the "You need to hold the power button panic message" everytime I do this. I unplugged external devices and tried this also and it has the same problem.
I cannot boot from the dvd anymore. If I eject the disc, osx loads normally.
Any ideas what I can do? (I have tried safe boot, pram clearing and hold option on boot to check options)
Here is the kernel panic when it finally loads into osx.
here is the kernel panic log when it reboots into OSX

I really appreciate everyone's help.
I am certainly not above taking the machine in but I will say this.....
I have been building and working on PC's for 15-20 years. I have never once used or had the need for a repair shop. It is my hobby. I recently switched to osx to give the mac a try and I love it.
I will say that vista/xp has four times as many problems but at least i can fix whatever comes my way hardware or software.
Any more ideas how to settle this without making my first trip to the repair shop ever?...

Cannot boot Windows 7 from UEFI bootable usb

Hello,
I need to install Windows 7 in UEFI mode using USB flash drive and for this purpose:
- created Windows 7 UEFI bootable USB using Rufus application
- In BIOS choosed UEFI Hybrid boot option with CSM
- disabled switchable graphics
- disabled fast boot
- secure boot is disabled
When I reboot and choose to boot from the USB using F9 boot menu, the computer continues to load my current system from my HDD and not the UEFI from the USB.
(I used the same USB and Windows 7 and succesfully installed windows in UEFI mode on my desktop machine but the laptop doesn`t want to recognize the USB as a bootable.)
I tried to put the USB on different slots but that doesn`t help.
Tried to boot from the UEFI USB drive in Legacy boot mode in BIOS, but no result.
My sistem is as follows:
System Model HP ProBook 4540s
BIOS Version/Date Hewlett-Packard 68IRR Ver. F.40, 29-Jan-13
SMBIOS Version 2.7
System Type x64-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2601 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
I searched the HP forum and the internet for a solution but nothing helps.
Cindly ask for support. Do anyone have or resolved the same problem?
Regards.

UEFI will not permit Windows 7 install did you disable that to Legacy Bios boot?
If not sure follow this help?

HELP CANNOT BOOT

ok, my mbp was working fine for a bit, but when i tried to use time machine it didnt work with error -43 "file not found". i figured it just wasnt installed properly. so i booted up my leopard install disc and did archive and install. well, about twenty minutes in to the installation it came up with an error, saying that it could not install "BSD" (i dont know what that it)". not thinking anything of it i just restarted and tried to install again. only this time, when it checked to see if i had osx 10.4 or later, it denied that i did. i suspect that the original installation was interupted before it could install a working os, because i cannot boot the os at all.
PLEASE HELP ME i cannot install a fresh os, i cannot boot the old os, and repair disc does nothing. i have no idea what to do.
thanks in advance

Well this sort of calls for extreme measures:
Boot from your Leopard Installer DVD. Proceed to the point where you select a destination volume. Select your desired startup drive and click on the Options button. Select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. Finish the installation.
This will erase everything on the drive. If you have data you need to recover, then I suggest you do that first. You will need a second Mac with Firewire. Use Target Disk Mode to access the drive on your computer and transfer your personal files to the other computer or to an external Firewire drive connected to the other computer.

HT4818 Cannot boot Windows Boot Camp

I installed Windows 7 (Home Premium, 64 bits, service pack 2) on my 2011 iMac. Installation went just fine, i started up windows, installed the BootCamp drivers, restarted etc. and everything worked fine. But when i selected OSX as default OS to startup (in Windows) and rebooted, i'm only able to startup in OSX. I tried rebooting and shutting down and starting up again but holding the Option key just won't give me any menu or something where i can choose to boot Windows, it just brings me to the login screen of OSX.
Also, i can't select my windows partition in System Prefrences because it isn't even there (though its visible in finder).
I'm running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion.
BTW, i've got this program called "NTFS-3G" installed (which enables write support on NTFS file systems for Mac). Could that have anything to do with System Prefrences not being able to detect the Windows partition?
Hope someone can help.

Ah, solved this one myself,
After uninstalling NTFS-3G and rebooting my Mac, guess what, everything worked just fine.

I really need help dual-booting Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro

Hi. I am totally lost in dual-booting Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro. I got rEFIt, but I don't know what I need for the Windows 7 part. Do I put an .iso file on a flashdrive? Or can I just do it easier with a physical disc of Windows 7? If you could, please have somewhat indepth steps, as I have no knowledge in this field.

You don't need rEFIt. But you do have to start with an unpartitioned startup drive. You create the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder. Open BCA and click on the large button to print out the documentation. Then read it carefully before proceeding. You will need a bootable Windows DVD, not an ISO file. You need to use the computer's optical drive because Windows will neither install nor boot from an external optical drive.

Could use help dual booting windows 8 and ubuntu 13.04

I have a Lenovo G580 with windows 8 + Ubuntu 13.04 installed. I've been trying to get Dual-boot to work for the past few hours with no success. I've been following this guide. After setting up the partitions similar to the ones in the guide i downloaded easyBCD on windows 8. I then added Ubuntu 13.04 to the grub menu. When i restart my laptop i get the menu with lenovo recovery, windows 8, and Ubuntu(not Ubuntu 13.04 like i labeled) when clicking Ubuntu it says windows failed to load, insert media for recovery. I can't do anything to access Ubuntu at this point. I don't know what it is i'm doing wrong but could use some help. Below are some pictures of the process. I'll post any needed info that i may have forgotten. When choosing OS it's in uefi mode.

Help -- cannot install Windows on my new Macbook Pro

I have a new 2010 Macbook Pro with an Intel SSD inside, and where the DVD drive is I have a 500 GB hard drive with the MCE Optibay, which I used with no issues for 1 1/2 years in my last laptop. I have everything set up nicely however I find I am unable to boot any Windows disk when I go to install boot camp. I set up the 2nd partition, then go to do the installation using an external DVD drive that I've used before with no issues. The disc is sesned and everything seems like it will work but instead of booting the Windows installer disc I get a "No" Mark (like Ghostbusters without the ghost) and it stops booting. I've tried Vista (two different discs) and 7 and nothing will boot.
Can anyone tell me how I can go about installing Windows on my 2nd disc. The disc itself is fine. Boot Camp sees it and says which disc would I like to make a Windows partition on, and all seems fine -- but the OS just won't boot off the Windows disc no matter what. Have tried 2 different external USB drives and it's frustrating.
Hope someone can help!

The problem you are experiencing probably isn't unique to your particular MBP. It took me two months to get Win7 (32 bit) installed and working on my MBP (early 2010 15.6" screen). I gave up on trying to get the 64 bit version to work. As far as I am concerned getting Win 7 to play on a Mac Book Pro is a crap shoot. You really have to be lucky, good has nothing to do with it. Maybe in another 6 months things will have progressed to the point that the installation is actually a no brainer. Sorry I can't be more supportive of your efforts.
I don't have a clue as to why the 32 bit version installed (not without problems I might add), and I could never get the 64 bit version to play. I used the retail version of Win 7 Ultimate which came with both 32 and 64 bit DVD's.

Dual Boot Windows 8, Grub

Hey Guys,
Just a quick question, I have Windows 8.1 installed in UEFI on /dev/sda2. The computer automatically boots into the Windows side ad the only way for me to access Linux is to manually do it. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Cheers!

Conspicuous lack of information here but anyway...
Please post the output of:
# parted -l
efibootmgr
lsblk -f
uname -a
Which boot loader/manager are you using?
How exactly did you install it GRUB?
EDIT: Also, what exactly does "manually do it" mean?

Best Way to Configure Multi-boot System With GRUB/GRUB2

Hello again,
Sorry for posting so much, but I'm really enjoying Arch so far! I had been reading a lot about Cinnamon so I wanted to try it (without installing the dependencies on my Arch installation), so I decided to install Mint, that went fine, and then I was hoping to add the entry to GRUB. I couldn't figure out how to do this, so I decided to try and install GRUB2 because it can autodetect other OS'. Well it didn't work and then I found myself without a bootloader. I couldn't figure out how to reinstall grub to the MBR (I tried the solution in the wiki and a couple of other places). I decided to reinstall Mint, and now I am booting into Arch through Mint's GRUB2. Two questions:
1) How can I fix grub through Arch to have that as my bootloader again? Nothing seems to work that I've tried.
2) What is the best way to configure grub or grub2 from Arch to allow myself options to multiboot other OS's in the future? I want to learn as much about UNIX as possible so I was planning on installing some other Linux distros and some other non-Linux UNIX OS's. I know this is a really newbie question, but I'm at a loss, I thought it was easier than it turned out.
PS. I didn't really like Cinnamon that much. I've been using Xfce and Openbox since I started using Linux (about a month ago), and it just seems too complicated! I don't like how little options you are given for customization. But that's just my opinion, everyone is different, I can see how it would be an improvement over GNOME3.
Thank You!

I have Arch Linux and Debian Testing installed side by side on my laptop.
Arch uses Grub (legacy) and Debian uses Grub2. The way I have set it up is to have Arch's Grub on the MBR and then chainload Debian's Grub2 from there.
Debian's Grub2 is installed on its own partition rather than on the MBR
This is the line I use to chainload Grub2 from Grub (legacy)
# (4) Debian chainload
title Debian chainload
root (hdX,X)
chainloader +1
Additionally just for kicks, I also have an entry in Grub2 to get back to Grub.
menuentry "Arch Linux chainload" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0)'
chainloader +1
boot
Note that the (hd0) above always points to the MBR.
I do not have to bother with one bootloader interfering with the other and the OS entries on each are handled separately on their own.
This setup has worked well for me for quite a while now. Before I started with Arch, I used a similar setup when I tried out various distros (Fedora,opensuse,etc.) alongside Ubuntu
Hope it helps !

Cannot Boot Windows XP Backup Image

A Windows XP partition suddenly stops booting, and it gives a BSOD when executing a disk driver that I tracked to Diskeeper. Rather than debug the original partition, I attached a SATA drive that contains an image backup of the original system partition
and made it Active and in the BIOS selected it as the boot partition. I boot from that backup drive in Safe Mode and now the Windows startup screen never finishes. The final screen with the Windows XP logo draws, but no users appear and ctrl-alt-del
pressed multiple times does nothing to bring a login prompt.
I suspect that this backup drive may not be seeing itself as the "C:" drive, and as a result many references to files in the registry are no longer valid. Is there any utility I can use in a preboot environment to force the backup drive
to become drive C: when I boot from it? How do I do that?

In order to assist you, we will need the .DMP files to analyze what exactly occurred at the time of the crash, etc.
If
you don't know where .DMP files are located, here's how to get to them:
1. Navigate
to the %systemroot%\Minidump folder.
2. Copy any and all
DMP files in the Minidump folder to your Desktop and then zip up these files.
3. Upload
the zip containing the .DMP files to Onedrive or a hosting site of your choice and paste in your reply. Prefered sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. Nothing with wait-timers
4 (optional): The
type of .DMP files located in the Minidump folder are known as Small Memory Dumps. In %systemroot% there will be what is known as a Kernel-Dump (if your system is set to generate). It is labeled MEMORY.DMP. The difference between Small Memory Dumps and Kernel-Dumps
in the simplest definition is a Kernel-Dump contains much more
information at the time of the crash, therefore allowing further debugging of your issue. If your upload speed permits it, and you aren't going against any strict bandwidth and/or usage caps, etc, the Kernel-Dump is the best choice. Do note that Kernel-Dumps
are much larger in
size due to containing much more info, which is why I mentioned upload speed, etc.
If
you are going to use Onedrive but don't know how to upload to it, please visit the following:
Upload
photos and files to Onedrive.
Please
note that any "cleaner" programs such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc, by default will delete .DMP files upon use.
If your computer is not generating .DMP files, please do the following:
1. Start
> type %systemroot% which should show the Windows folder, click on it. Once inside that folder, ensure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a New Folder and name it Minidump.
2. Windows
