[SOLVED] Booting Win7, Ubuntu, and Arch - Can't load Ubuntu

I have two harddrive disk in my computer - one with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 and the other with a fresh install of Arch. When I boot the computer, it opens Arch's new Grub menu and will launch either Arch or Windows 7 just fine, but I'm having issues adding an Ubuntu option.
I installed Grub during the initial install process to the first location on the disk. I have no idea where Ubuntu's Grub2 loader was installed to, or whether it's still there. I've tried searching around for similar cases, but most of them were asked before Arch was installed - I did not think that far ahead. The solutions I did find that seemed relevant did not help. I ranged from the option in Grub just flashing the screen and returning to giving me more specific errors:
Error 15: File not found
and
Error 13: Invalid of unsupported executable format
When I turn on my computer, I want a bootloader with at least three options: Windows 7, ArchLinux, and Ubuntu. I am not partial to Grub Legacy, Grub2, or any other loader. All I ask is ease of customization, which I'm sure this site's wiki will grant me.
How can I meet this goal?
Here is my current /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Again, Windows 7 and Arch launch fine off of it. No luck from Ubuntu.

Wow.... I feel like a retard now. I'm posting this in Windows 7, so I'll reboot and try to fix that. x_x Thanks for catching that.
Edit:
Thank you for that! It now 'works', but by loading a second bootloader. Less than ideal, but if I remember correctly Ubuntu will list future kernel upgrades there, so this should work. But I am curious if there's a way for me to launch Ubuntu directly from the first Grub menu, and then have another option to bring me to this loader.
Otherwise everything works and I can now move on to setting up Arch more.

[SOLVED] Dual boot windows 7 and arch Linux with seperate hard drives

Ok so I'm stuck trying to get my computer to dual boot windows 7 and arch. They are installed on different hard drives and I have grub 2 as the boot loader. I can't find any tutorials on how to do it with seperate hard drives I know how to do it if they are on the same hard drive. Also I want windows on the "first" hard drive how do I check to see which one it considers the first?

Not from the BIOS. He would need to physically open up the computer and switch the cables between them (or add another drive).
There's no actual performance increase in changing this order. Performance increase is when you have the partitions as close to the beginning of a HDD as possible, where the platters spin faster (basic mechanics, not to be confused with CD/DVD, which are being written from the inside-out to prevent errors after extended usage), and it especially doesn't apply to SSDs whatsoever.
You may be right about that. I remember I had to do this a while back but I probably switched the cables. It also messed up the drive mapping in Windows 98 if I remember correctly.

Dual booting Windows 8 and Arch Linux with UEFI

Hi all!
I'm trying to install Arch Linux on my computer where I already have Windows 8, and I'm getting a little stuck when it comes to the partitioning.
Following the beginner's guide and the method here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … n_in_Linux for setting up the partitions properly, regarding UEFI. My problem is that when using cgdisk to set up a new EFI system partition (ef00), I get an error message when trying to write the partition table (just saying that something went wrong). I figure the problem is that I already have a partition like this (correct me if I'm wrong), but it really looks like it succeded (see info below). So my question is: How do I preceed to keep my Windows 8 installation happy, but installing Arch? Do I remove the old EFI system partition and create a new one, or is there some method that allows me to edit the already existing one, to allow me to dual boot Windows 8 and Arch?
My partition table now looks like this:
Part. # Size Partition Type Partition Name
1007KB free space
1 500MB Windows RE Basic data partition
2 300MB EFI System EFI system partition (this one was already present on my system)
3 128MB Microsoft reserved Microsoft reserved partition
4 63.5GB Microsoft basic data Basic data partition
8 512MB EFI System EFI System partition (this is the one I tried to create when I got the error message)
5 29.5GB Linux filesystem Arch (this is where I was going to put my Arch installation)
6 22GB Windows RE Basic data partition
7 1024MB Windows RE Basic data partition
615KB free space
Just for the record; I only created partition #8 and #5.
Any help is appreciated! And sorry for beeing a total noob, but I really suck at this.

sudo make sandwich wrote:If it is possible to share ESP between OSes, how do I do this (would it be sufficent to follow this section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#For_UEFI_motherboards)?
There's really very little to do to share an ESP between OSes. Most OS installers will auto-detect the ESP and use it. Problem solved. For Arch it may be a bit more effort just because Arch uses a more hands-on installation process, but I've only done a couple of Arch installations, and the last one was several months ago, so I don't recall the details clearly enough to comment.
And how big will the partition need to be? The beginner's guide says 512MB or higher.
I don't know what was in the mind of the author, but my guess is that's because that's roughly the cutoff point where mkdosfs starts creating FAT32 by default rather than FAT16. The ESP is officially supposed to be FAT32, not FAT16, although FAT16 usually works OK. It's also possible to create FAT32 on smaller partitions by using an explicit option to mkdosfs ("-F 32").
The optimal size of the ESP depends on the files stored on it. If you don't store your Linux kernels, something as small as 100MiB is usually adequate; but a few Linux kernels and their initrd files can consume twice that amount. My own recommendation is for the ESP to be 200-500MiB.
The only error message I got from cgdisk is "Problem saving data! Your partition table may be damaged!", however booting Windows again works fine. Parted did not complain about antything.
Use the "verify" function in cgdisk. That will reveal any problems with the data structures. If a verify turns up OK, then that means that cgdisk ran into some sort of disk problem. Running gdisk rather than cgdisk and using the gdisk "w" option (without making any changes) may produce a more helpful error message.

Dual boot Windows 7 and Arch from 2 seperate drives (UEFI)

Hello everyone, I've been working on installing Arch to a secondary hard drive for the past few hours, but I am trying to make sure I won't mess up my Windows 7 install. I have found several topics talking about dual booting Windows 7 and Arch, but not a whole lot on booting them from separate drives. My drives are currently setup as follows.
sda (120GB SSD for Windows 7)
sda1 (100MB System Reserved NTFS partition)
sda2 (Windows 7 install)
sdb (1TB HDD for Windows programs, files, etc)
sdb1 (1TB NTFS partition)
sdc (1TB HDD)
sdc1 (boot 512MB FAT32)
sdc2 (root 500MB ext4)
sdc3 (home 300GB ext4)
sdc4 (swap 10GB)
rest unallocated "free space"
I used Gparted to create the partitions. I ended up getting hung up on the "Create Filesystems" sections, specifically this line"
# mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdXY
Now that I am looking at it, I'm thinking the "Create Filesystems" section maybe isn't necessary because I've used Gparted?
If it isn't necessary, when I get to the "mount the EFI System Partition to /boot" section, would I simply use
# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/boot
instead of
# mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/boot ?
The way I had this setup with Ubuntu was 3 partitions on sdc (/, home, swap) and I set my PC to boot to the sdc drive on startup. The boot loader would then give me the option to boot into Ubuntu or Windows 7, and I never had to alter the sda or sdb drives at all. Is this possible through Arch? My thinking is that even if it isn't, I should still be able to enter the BIOS boot menu and select which drive to boot manually correct? That wouldn't be too big of a deal for me because I spend 90% of my time in Linux, and only use Windows for Photoshop and gaming occasionally.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I would have just tested this out, but I am afraid of messing up my Windows install.

After several sleepless hours I had to give up and go to bed about 5 hours ago. The installation process went smoothly (or so I thought). I followed the tutorial closely and upon rebooting I was met with a blinking cursor. After some googling I found others who said I should press TAB, but nothing seemed to work.
I rebooted to the iso disk and found the "boot installed OS" option and noticed it said "Press TAB to edit". I then found the boot parameters and tried everything from hd0 0 to hd4 4. I believe I have Grub setup correctly because every option besides hd0 0 either says "Booting..." and then gets stuck, or says "That disk and partition combination does not exist". So yea, I think hd0 0 is the correct boot path, it just gets stuck with the blinking cursor.

You have the right idea. You want to install a bootloader on sdc1 which will be able to boot both Arch and Windows.
Your best bet would be to use something like rEFInd. It has a "scanfor" option that should automatically detect your BIOS-configured Windows installation and add a boot option for it. Note that depending on your motherboard, you may have to switch to UEFI-only mode and Windows will be unbootable without the assistance of a UEFI program which is backwards compatible with BIOS (like rEFInd).
Thank you for the link. Considering I can't get into my install and the actual install only took about 30 minutes, I think I am going to just start from the beginning again with REFIndr. It seems much simpler. I only used Grub because I've used it before with Ubuntu, but my very limited knowledge is telling me Grub is probably the problem.
MoonSwan wrote:Just an idea: My bios has a "Boot-up Prompt" which I can invoke when it's POSTing by hitting F11. This brings me to a menu that allows me to choose which drive I want to boot up that day. I use it when Syslinux isn't working properly (Which is right now as a matter of fact ...) in order to boot Windows so I can do some SCII, for example. I, too, dual-boot but I have both OSes on different SSDs. So my 120GB Crucial SSD has Arch on it and the 240GB Kingston has Windows, SCII, Portable Apps, etc and nary the two shall meet. It makes dual-booting easier in the case of a corrupt OS or MBR or what-have-you. You may want to give your Bios a better look to see if you can do the F11 trick. It probably can and will usually tell you so at POST by printing that information on-screen along with your drives-detected and other messages (I hit Pause sometimes to read all the POST messages).
This is exactly what I was talking about doing when I mentioned:
My thinking is that even if it isn't, I should still be able to enter the BIOS boot menu and select which drive to boot manually correct?
That's good to know, because even if this next install doesn't work I think if I pull the other drives I should be able to get it working fairly easily.
Thanks again everyone.

Dual Boot Windows 7 and Arch with Shared NTFS partition.

Hi everyone,
I want to dual boot windows 7 and Arch Linux.
Here's the problem... my hard drive isn't the biggest. I want to store all my music, movies, pictures, and documents on partition that both linux and windows can access seamlessly.
I want the partition to be NTFS. -- (the programs that map an ext4 drive to Windows are trash).
Here's what I think I need.
30GB NTFS to Windows.
30GB ext4 to Arch Linux
The remainder (190ish GB) to Shared Data.
I don't want the swap partition because I have a SSD and 4GB of RAM.
What is the best way to setup my partitions? And is this even possible?
Thanks!

Not a problem. I would create:
First of four primary partitions for windows.
Second of four primary partitions for /boot
Third of four partitions is an extended partition encompassing all the space not used by the first two partitions.
Put everything else inside the extended partition.
Mine is a bit more complicated, but this should give you an idea:

Dual booting win 7 and arch: cannot install grub to partition

I have read the arch wiki page on dual booting and several other sources on line, but I am still struggling to get this to work.
I am trying to dual boot arch and windows 7 on my lenovo ideapad s205. the machine comes with windows 7 pre-installed.
I shrank the win 7 partition and added an extended partition with 3 logical partions for /boot, swap, and /.
I am able to install and run arch by installing grub to the mbr. when I do this, though, I cannot boot windows. (the windows section of grub menu.lst is uncommented and points toward hda0,0. I have tried hda 0,1 as well).
I have also tried to use the windows boot loader to load arch, as described in the arch wiki page on dual booting. The problem here is that, taking this approach, I should install grub to my /boot partition, but when I try to do this, the installer only allows me to install grub to sda or sdb (the usb stick).
I have read that grub should be able to boot linux from a logical partition. Is this so?
Is there something wrong with the arch installer that it is not giving me the option of installing to a partition rather than the mbr, or is this a problem with my partition scheme, or something else?
I am tempted to remove lenovo's recovery system, but on the other hand, I have already needed to use it several times while monkeying around with installing arch.
Thanks for any help.
UPDATE:
I now have the laptop dual-booting win 7 and arch. My solution ( adapted from here: http://helms-deep.cable.nu/~rwh/blog/?p=177) was to:
1. installed arch on the partitions I had created for it, but skipped the "install bootloader" stage.
2. in win 7, I downloaded and installed EasyBCD and made an entry for arch in it. I checked the option to "Use EasyBCD's copy of GRUB"
3. When I restarted, I got a grub error because the entry in grub's menu.lst was pointing at the wrong partitions for the kernel and root.
4. So I went back into the arch live disk, mounted the boot partition and edited menu.lst.
Now when I start the laptop, the windows boot loader starts and I can choose between win 7 and arch. when I select arch, grub4dos starts and gives me the option to start arch. this is not particularly elegant (nor is it fast), so I think this solution is less than ideal, but it does work.
I'd be interestd in any thoughts about what went wrong and what a better solution would be.
thanks.

Is this a typo in your post or how it was in menu.lst? Surely it should be hd0,0 and not hda0,0? The entry I have in my menu.lst is as follows:

[Solved]dual boot windows 7 and arch linux

I have successfully installed arch linux dual boot with the original win7 on my PC. If I only use linux, then the system works well. The problem is that once I boot into Win7 then after reboot, the linux boot manager will stop working and the system always boots into windows automatically. My guess is Win7 automatically repair the boot loader.
My current solution is whenever I have finished using Windows, I'll boot with my linux USB installation, and run "gummiboot --path=/boot install". Afterwards, linux will work fine. But I believe there must be a better solution. Any help will be appreciated.
I have UEFI board by the way.

Thanks for all your help first! I have tried Head_on_a_Stick's suggestions as the first step. Here is what I did. I have created :
$ cat /boot/loader/entries/windows.conf
title Windows
efi /EFI/hidden/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
The window boot path was :
/boot/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
and I changed
/boot/EFI/Microsoft
to
/boot/EFI/hidden
After reboot, I clicked 'Windows' option on the linux boot manager. Below are the error messages:
Windows failed to start.
File: \EFI\Microsoft/Boot/BCD
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
Any idea what goes wrong?
I'll try other suggestions soon. Thanks all of you again.

[SOLVED] Booting windows 7 kills Arch

Hi,
I'm dual booting Arch with windows 7 and recently when I boot windows 7, I can't boot Arch afterwards.
After I shutdown windows, I start up my laptop again, I get the grub menu and select Arch. During boot I get a lot of output during the file system check ( I think, it's hard to see because it goes to fast; ) and then Arch freezes. The only thing that I can do is a force shut down with the power button. I boot again and launch the Arch Fallback kernel. That one is then able to boot but freezes when kdm is launched: I get the login screen for tty 1 but when the graphical login managers fires up I only get a black screen and everything freezes ( can't switch to a terminal or use ctrl+alt+backspace ). I have to force shutdown with the power button again. I boot up again, select the Fallback kernel again and everything works fine. After that I can boot with the normal Arch kernel without a problem.
Is there a way to log the output on the screen during boot up ? I've searched the logs in /var/log/ but can't find that output.
This only happens since yesterday. I was looking for CPU scaling modules and loaded the powernow-k8 module according to the wiki. The power manager of KDE needed additional modules, KDE loaded the modules itself and I put all the modules in /etc/rc.conf. Strange thing is that I also lost my wifi yesterday and it still doesn't work, not on Arch nor Windows ( Wired internet does work on both ).
While checking the the daemon.log I found this, don't know if it's really helpfull:

I had windows vista and windows 7 in dual boot with Mandriva linux for a year without any problem and right now I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
EDIT:
Tried it again to see if I could get some more information.
Apparently the first time I boot Arch after a windows boot, it doesn't really freeze. I tried to write down some of the output and after a while it continued for a second and stopped again and this went going on and on. It seems like it keeps looping the same output. I waited some more but I had to force shut down because my laptop was going nuts and overheating, it started to smell like burned electronics...
I was able to capture some of the output:
--[end trace 27ebd855... ]---
Call trace
[<ffffffff8117c420>] ? proc_lookup_de+0x20/0x100
[<ffffffff81009ec2>] ? system_call_fastpath
Code ff .. .. .. and a lot more of pairs of letters and numbers
The output at the beginning was to fast to see but the Call trace and Code kept on repeating.
After this I could boot up the Fallback kernel without a problem, kdm worked fine to, then rebooted using the normal kernel image like nothing happened before.
Any help would be appreciated,
Varg

Well since it worked fine first it could only be the powernow-k8 module or the CPU scaling modules required by KDE. I'll check it out and report back.
EDIT:
Narrowed it down to the cpufreq_powersave and cpufreq_userspace modules. Powernow-k8, cpufreq_stats and cpufreq_ondemand work fine.
I disabled all the modules and then turned them back on one by one in rc.conf ( booting w7 everytime ). cpufreq_powersave turned on gave the strange output during boot but only a short version but completely ran down X or kdm after boot. With cpufreq_userspace I could boot but KDE froze right after login. Combination of the two modules resulted in being unable to boot.
Loading the modules after boot while running KDE gives no problem and since I'm a laptop user I could use the powersave module. I'll see if I can make KDE load that module automatically after login.
Thanks a lot for the tip !

12c on Win7 64-bit - ERROR Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform'

My experience is not with XP but with Windows 7 64-bit. with Java for 64-bit, I cannot run Net Config nor the DBCA.
Initially this was the error I got
ExceptionMSG: 'C:\Windows\System32\msvcr100.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform'
ExceptiontoString: 'java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Windows\System32\msvcr100.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform'
[main] [ 2013-08-24 15:36:04.855 CST ] [WindowsSystem.<init>:424] Failed to load SRVM library: oracle.ops.mgmt.nativesystem.NativeException: PRKN-1008 : Unable to load the shared library "MSVCR100" or a dependent library, from
then I skipped running the Netconfig & DBCA. Finished the installation.
Then did some work around like using the Net Manager instead of Net Config Assistant. so I was able to create a LISTENER
then when I tried the DBCA. I kept getting
oracle.cluster.impl.winsecurity.WinSecurityNative.enableWsecTracing(Loracle/ops/mgmt/nativesystem/NativeResult;)V
Any ideas?
Thanks

Any ideas?
Yes - for starters tell us, in English, what it is you are actually trying to do.
Initially this was the error I got
Got from doing what? We don' t know what you tried to do.
then I skipped running the Netconfig & DBCA. Finished the installation.
What installation? We don't know what you are trying to install or what you have done to install it.
First tell us what you were trying to do.
Then SHOW US exactly what you did to try to do that. EXACT means copy and past the commands you used and the response you got to those commands.
Also post a link to the installation guide that you are using to do the install and confirm that your environment meets the installation requirements and that you have done each and every step.

Tried to upgrade to new itunes and now can't load itunes or quicktime

HELP! i tried to upgrade my itunes. This upgrade was totally successful. I then had another problem on my computer so i tried to restore my computer to an earlier timepoint. Since I have done this, I can't load itunes or quicktime. I have tried to uninstall the programs and reinstall them but it still doesn't work. I get an error message on quicktime:
failed to initialize- error-2095
The itunes error message reads :
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Help- I am going insane with this!!!

I followed a link and somehow ended up at this post from Mike Hogan3 and combined it with something else I came across. This is what worked for me!
1)Follow his suggestions for removing quicktime and itunes (at the end of this message).
2)Then reinstall iTunes from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
3) Then install QuickTime Standalone Installer from this page (located in the middle right of the page- don't install the one with iTunes!) http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Hope this works! It did for me!

RE: QuickTime Installation FAILED!! "Error Code: -1"
Posted: Nov 6, 2005 8:51 AM in response to: Adrian Koo Reply Email
This might not be exactly the same problem but lots of people (myself included) had problems after installing iTunes 6.0. I did the following and it finally installed correctly.
I went to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
and downloaded the Cleanup utility near the bottom of that page. When it installs on your machine it will scan your computer for every installer every ran on you're machine. Only select iTunes and Qtime and delete those 2 installers. Then I went to add/remove programs and removed iTunes and Qtime. Prior to this Qtime would not unistall but now it did. Funny thing was there was no prompting by windows once I hit "remove/repair" in the "add/remove programs" function.
Then rerun the iTunes 6.0.1 update. That had been failing to install Qtime prior to this but now it installed and I see all my music again and iTunes works. Let me know if this does the trick, I hope so.

Iphone 5s doesn't start and I can not load my battery.

Hello!
Yesterday I got my new iPhone, all worked and I hadn`t any problem.
But now the battery is empty and I can not start the iPhone.
When I tries to load the battery I just see a battery ( empty and red) on the screen.
Even if I load my iPhone more than some hours, the screen doesn't change.
Any idea how I can load my iPhone?
Regards
Simon
