[Solved] Windows 7 and Arch Dual boot- unable to boot into Windows7

Had to reformat computer and reinstall windows and Arch on two separate hard drives (Dual boot) .
Windows 7 was the first install on SDA: (/dev/sda1 - system reserved 100mb, /dev/sda2 - 20gb)
Arch on SDB: (/dev/sdb1- boot 94mb, /dev/sdb2- swap, /dev/sdb3 - root, /dev/sdb4 - /home)
Installed grub2 on /dev/sda. now grub bootloader loads Arch fine. Also shows Windows 7 (on /dev/sda1).
But when chosen Windows 7, it does not load and loops back again to boot loader screen.
In BIOS i have set disk drive SDB as first boot option.
If i choose SDA as first boot option in BIOS, same scenario is repeated.
I have gone through mostly all the pages related to the topic but i can not co-relate the solution
to my exact situation due to limited knowledge.
Can somebody pls help me as to how to edit grub.cfg so as to point it to load windows 7?
the entry related to windows 7 reads as follows:-
quote
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry 'Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)' --class windows --class os $menue$
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='hd0,msdos1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint$
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root F010D97410D941F0
fi
chainloader +1
unquote
for Arch set root value is hd1,msdos1 and working fine.
Thanks and regards.

Question about the "Windows and Arch Dual Boot" wiki

I've been reading this wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Win … _Dual_Boot to get a better understanding of what I need to do to install Arch along side of my XP installation and there's one point that I don't understand. Here it is
It is important to note that there is a 1024 cylinder limit with some older BIOSs. This means that the BIOS cannot access things beyond the 1024th cylinder (about 8.5GB), so the /boot partition should be in the first 8.5GB (space before Windows partition).
How does one go about getting the /boot partition created during the installation of Arch to install in the first 8.5g? I have installed Arch in Virtualbox twice so far just so that I'm familiar with the procedure and I can't see anything in the installation where I can do this.
There's one other item that is not clear to me as I've seen conflicting information on it. If I do create a seperate "/boot" partition for Arch, do I need to make it "bootable"during the installation? At this point I don't think that I do.
My understanding of installing to be able to dual boot is that I only need to install Grub to "Sda" and of course edit the grub menu to add the information needed for XP. Is this enough?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, you install grub to sda (master boot record), and add the entry for Windows. In the step where you partition the harddrive, you can choose where to create it. Actually it may not be that much of a problem anymore, my boot is on the third partition, after ~15 GB. You can forget about the bootable flag when using grub, it does not care.

Dual Booting Windows and Arch (SOLVED!)

Hello all, I'm having trouble getting a windows partition activated again. (Windows was on here for many years, then I installed arch on a separate partition.)
Here is the layout of fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 7833 62918541 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 7834 12039 33784695 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 12040 12161 979965 82 Linux swap / Solaris
sda1 is the windows partition, and sda2 is the arch partition. The linux partition SHOULD be primary bootable (have the * next to it),but all my attempts to do this have failed. (I've used "testdisk" to change the flags, but for some reason it keeps reverting back to setting sda 1 as primary bootable after a reboot or 2).
This is the pertinent section of /boot/grub/menu.lst:
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/f3be3baa-3b62-460c-8801-64b0b1cca$
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/f3be3baa-3b62-460c-8801-64b0b1cca$
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
# (1) Windows
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I have a . . . modified . . . copy of XP Professional, which comes with a recovery console to reinstall the MBR if it's necessary.
From what I've researched, I somehow need to reinstall grub to the second partition, make the second partition primary bootable, then rewrite the MBR on the first partition, and correct any command errors in menu.lst, but I haven't really figure out a way to do it.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I read up on some documentation of installing GRUB to the MBR.
So far, I went into ArchLive (from the cd) and did the following
grub> root (hd0,1)
grub> setup (hd0)
The installation reports success with no errors, but the problem persists. Arch linux will boot fine, but when I select XP it flashes my configuration, like so:
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
then kicks me back to the OS select GRUB screen. Did I install it to the wrong place?
EDIT:
I decided to issue this command:
grub> setup(hd0,1)
It reported some errors, then arch couldn't mount the ntfs partition because of possible MFT cluster errors.
Using testdisk, I repaired the boot sector and MFT clusters, then using ArchLive reinstalled grub with grub>(hd0)
Arch and Arch Fallback will boot correctly, but now the windows side shows an error:
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Loading stage2Read Error (or something to this extent)
I wonder if this error brings me closer or farther to a solution?
Thanks for the replies so far!

Win 7 and Arch dual boot [SOLVED]

There are other help threads about this, but I didn't want to hijack somebody's elses thread. Sorry for the long post, I just want to provide as much detail as possible:
I am trying to use Grub (not Grub2) to dual boot between Arch Linux and Windows 7. I had this working before using Windows XP, but when I reinstalled Windows 7 over Windows XP, Grub would no longer boot Windows.
1. If I manually choose the hd containing Windows 7 to load first in my BIOS, Windows 7 boots no problem. If I manually choose the hd with Grub and Arch to load first in my BIOS, I get a Grub menu, which boots Arch, but not Windows 7. Ideally, I think, I would like to have the internal drive with Arch ranked first, then the internal drive with Windows second in my BIOS. At least, that's how I had been doing things before blowing away XP and installing Windows 7.
2. Here is the (abbreviated) output of sudo fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb2 206848 169934847 84864000 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb3 169935570 1953520064 891792247+ 83 Linux
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 1028159 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1028160 3084479 1028160 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 3084480 44050229 20482875 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 44050230 488392064 222170917+ 83 Linux
3. From that, I can tell that Arch is installed on sda: sda1 = boot partition; sda2 = swap; sda3 = root partition; sda4 = home partition.
Windows 7 is installed on sdb: sdb1 = system reserved partition (created automatically by Windows 7 during install); sdb2 = Windows; sdb3 = separate ext3 partition
4. I am comfortable editing Grub menus. This is an excerpt of mine:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/blah-blah-blah ro
initrd /kernel26.img
# (2) Windows
title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
chainloader +1
5. The error I get is "error 15: file not found" If I change the line reading "rootnoverify" to "root", I get the same error plus the bit about "filesystem unknown, partition type 0x7" so I think I'm pointing at the right partition/drive. That is, I know that partition type 0x7 is an NTFS filesystem/Windows.
6. I messed around with the Grub entry for Windows. I modified the root line to read "rootnoverify (hd1,1)", but things still did not work. I wasn't sure if I needed to bypass the "system reserved" partition created by Windows, or not. I also flip-flopped the two map lines, so they read:
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
That did not work either. I tried these combinations together, but Windows still would not boot. Always the same error message: "filesystem unknown, partition type 0x7"
7. I think I have a mapping problem given that Arch boots fine and Windows boots fine from the BIOS. However, I'm not sure how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Culley
Edit:
Okay, so I fixed things. I just removed a bunch of stuff from my Grub entry. Even though Windows is not on the same drive as Grub, it does not need the map sections like I thought. I also removed the savedefault and makeactive entries, not sure if that made a difference or not. My new grub entry looks like this
# (2) Windows
title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

OS X and Arch dual-boot on MBP - bootloader error

I have a Macbook Pro 9,2, and I dual-boot OS X and Arch. My main Arch partition is encrypted with an LVM on LUKS setup, and my main OS X partition is encrypted with Firevault 2. I run the vanilla Arch kernel, and I use xfce as my DE. I use refind as my boot manager, and grub as the bootloader for the Arch partition. This setup has worked flawlessly for several months. I update my Arch system once per week, and last Sunday was a large update since xfce got a large overhaul (in terms of program and config files). However, since the update I cannot boot into OS X (I am posting this here instead of an OS X forum since no change occurred to the OS X system so the problem must be with a change to my Arch system).
When I attempt to boot into OS X, I am asked for my password to decrypt the partition, but then I get the following error message:
efiboot loaded from device: Acpi (PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F12)/SATA(0,0)/HD(Part3.Sig698A
48BA-88E6-471C-9359-AD63C7EEBE74

boot file path: \com.apple.recovery.boot\boot.efi
.............Read error 0x6

Error: Aborted returned from boot.efi
*Hit any key to continue*
When I hit a key, I get taken back to the refind menu. If I choose OS X again, I get the same error. This cycle can be repeated ad nauseam. Booting into my Arch partition, on the other hand, works just fine, with one hiccup. While usability does not seem to be reduced, after I input my password to decrypt the Arch partition, and before I see the tty1 login, I (since Sunday) occasionally get the following error message that I have never had before:
19.636262] [drm:crypt_set_fifo_underrun_reporting] *ERROR* uncleared pch fifo underrun on pch transcoder

19.332176] ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
The "READ FPDMA QUEUED" line and those below it repeat a few time with different numbers following "cmd" and "res," but then after a few moments the messages clear off the screen and I arrive at my tty1 login screen and from there everything in Arch (including my now-upgraded DE) works normally. This error does not occur during all boots, but I cannot discern any pattern behind when I see it and when I do not. The OS X error and failure to boot occurs every time I try to boot into OS X.
I have learned a lot as an Arch user, but this problem is beyond me. Google has not been particularly friendly, understandably so given the peculiarity of the problem and my setup. I have not yet tried undoing the update I did on Sunday because (a) it would be a pain since there were >30 packages that were upgraded, and (b) I have no evidence that the upgrade was actually causative of this issue, though I may eventually attempt the downgrade out of desperation if I cannot find a solution. Note that the update I keep referencing did not including a kernel update.
I appreciate any advice or insight that you can offer.

I don't have much in the way of a solution for your problem, but to start with, what were the > 30 packages? In particular, was grub/refind updated (or anything else that would likely touch your efi partition? I know from my own messing with refind, that you can potentially 'damage' your partition layout with certain commands which maybe causing osx not to boot...
Then again, the errors may have nothing to do with your arch installation and maybe indicative of a different problem all together. Normal procedure is at this point is to backup your complete disk (clone/mirror it, read up on how to do that especially with regards to the encryption systems used), and try to diagnose for any problems the mbp maybe having.
You could use an apple rescue cd (that may no longer be available with newer mbp , I have no idea..) or maybe use a different harddisk and install osx there and see if you can get everything running 'normally' thus ruling out any funky errors with the hw. check apple's recovery options if need be.
I guess you'll just have to fiddle about a bit and try to more closely determine what the actual problem is. and again, backup your stuff!

Windows server 2008 R2 is unable to boot.

Hi There,
Please advice for Windows server 2008 R2. It was unable to boot up to Windows.
It ask me to do the recovery which is not able to do.
I tried to repair the Windows but it says no problem found.
I also tried from below link.

Please help.

Hi,
What happend prior to the error? New update, new application, new role, hardware failure?
And what is the error message? You can't even boot in safe mode? (hit f8 during boot)

Is it possible to use Boot Camp to partition an external hard drive so there is a OSX partition and a Windows partiton? I want to use the external drive for backup only, NOT to load Windows and NOT to use as a boot drive.

I have partitioned the internal hard drive and am running Lion and Win7 Pro on my iMac i5 2.7GHz with 16GB RAM. Can I use Boot Camp to create a Windows partition on an OSX external hard drive to use for backing up both systems to the same HDD? I do NOT want to install OSX Lion or Windows 7 Professional on the external drive. I do NOT want to boot either system from the external drive. The 3TB external drive is for backup only.

Use NTFS for Windows and buy Paragon NTFS for OS X
You can also try Paragon HFS for Windows
As long as you are using for data and backups, you can leave the drive as GPT too.
I would recommend strongly to always have a 2nd bootable Mac OS drive, only need 30GB partition. System maintenance. Though LIon Recovery Mode finally makes it less but not totally unneeded.
And yes you can use Windows to create a partition.
Boot Camp is too broad. Do you want or mean BC Assistant? not needed but probably possible.
MBR has trouble with 3TB drives.

[SOLVED] Luks with /arch/setup installation , fails at boot

Hi all,
So I tried to install arch on virtualbox with encrypted partitions (root /, /home/ and swap), but it fails at boot.
/dev/sda1 is /boot
/dev/sda2 is swap
/dev/sda3 is /
/dev/sda4 is /home
The root partition seems to be loading fine because it asks for my password, then the boot sequence goes on, until the /home/ (apparently) :
:: Bringing up loopback interface
:: Unlocking encrypted volumes: chome..Usage: cryptsetup [-?vyrq] (...all the options...can't copy paste with virtualbox)
/sbin/cryptsetup: Unknown action
failed [FAIL]
/dev/mapper/croot: clean, 27576/457856 files, 166316/1830898 blocks

Possibly non-existent device?
/dev/sda1: clean,29/24096 files, 20790/96356 blocks
[FAIL]
It seems that it tries to open /dev/mapper/chome but it's not mounted yet
In my /etc/crypttab, I added the lines :
chome /dev/sda4 none luks
cswap /dev/sda2 none luks
/etc/fstab (I didn't change anything, /arch/setup configured it that way) :
/dev/mapper/chome /home ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/croot / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/cswap swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
And grub :
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/croot cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:croot ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
What I wanted to do was to have swap,root and home encrypted partitions mounted at boot, but maybe it is not possible?
I tried a lot of configurations for /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab according to what I could find on the net but nothing worked. I read the whole tutorial https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … _with_LUKS but there is no config for fstab or crypttab or grub when installing with /arch/setup
Thanks for any help !

Indeed you have a point, putting password in plaintext isn't very safe.
There is a good alternative though: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … _a_Keyfile
the reason why you don't have a passphrase for root in a file somewhere is that you provide this passphrase during boot-time.
Somewhere during boot you get the option to unlock you root device by typing in a passphrase... right?
ro means that the volume is mounted read only http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount

I have Arch installed in `/dev/sda2` and Windows on `/dev/sda1`. Also, GRUB is installed in MBR and `/boot` is on `/dev/sda2`. This is what I wish to do: Install FreeBSD in `/dev/sda3`, but boot from the current instance of GRUB. This is an entry I made in GRUB:
title FreeBSD 8.2

kernel /boot/loader
but it seems that GRUB didn't take nicely to UFS. So, I guess I must use chainloading over here? Exactly how do you suggest I go about it?
NOTE: I chose to not install any bootloader during the FreeBSD installation. Also, a question I might as well squeeze in here: Can I share `/dev/sda6` as swap for both Arch and FreeBSD. I've read people saying that it must be in the BSD slice and all. Don't know much about it.. totally new to FreeBSD.

The FreeBSD doesn't work like Linux with partitions, BSD partition is divided in slices, so you can't boot it like you mention. At my computer I have this in menu.lst:

[SOLVED] Access media from both Windows and Arch?

I'm hoping to get a new laptop around summer time, allowing me to sort any niggles out before I start uni in september. I've been using Arch Linux for a while, and really like it now - it totally stopped by habit of distro-hopping anyway
However, I'm taking Computer Science, and think that it could be beneficial if I had a Windows partition on this new laptop, aswell as an Arch partition. The main problem with this is - How could I set this up, so that my media is kept on a partition of it's own, which could be accessed by both the Windows partition AND the linux partition? Is my only option to use NTFS? Or should I try Ext3, with one an ext3 driver in Windows? Or is there an even better solution?
Thanks,
Pritchard92

Well, I think I trust Linux a lot more than Windows, in terms of data integrity (...) That way, Windows can perform any filesystem checks
Aren't you contradicting yourself here?
Since NTFS write support is considered stable, I think it is the best choice as long as you don't need permission control (which only partially works with NTFS).
Make sure you're using the "ntfs-3g" driver since there is still the old "ntfs" driver around which does not have write support.

Tried to use fbsplash and now I am unable to boot

Hello,
it looks like I have done something wrong.
I've followed the wiki's "suspend to disk" description and after fixing some minor problems it was working fine.
Then I gave fbsplash a try and that is where something went wrong.
After fbsplash has replaced the initscripts my system refuses to boot.
When it tries to boot arch it tells me something about "static dev" and then tries to load modules and this is where it stops and give me the "crtl+d or root password" prompt.
I have uninstalled fbsplash and installed the default initscript again but the problem remains,
it still reports something about "static udev" and hangs on "loading modules".
How can I get my system to load arch again ?
Best regards,
Ingo

Loggin in with root password, remounting my partition with write access and reinstalling udev did the trick.
Thank you.

[SOLVED] broadcome and arch upgrade

Hi.
I just upgraded arch but my wireless is not working any more. I have broadcom BCM4322 (on apple macbook). I read somwhere that with this kernel26 2.6.33.3-2 i don't need more broadcome driver for wireless. Is this true? And if it is, what do i need to set so my wireless will start to work? I use wicd and it says no wireless found.
On the other hand i can't install even broadcom-wl driver. So i would really appreciate help to set my wireless.

Did you have it set up before? If you did, did you stop the modules from loading in your rc.conf?
Yes i stopped wl module.
You would need to load those modules to make it work, if as you say, the drivers are now built into the kernel.
Which modules do i need to load?
Those are my modules and daemons:

[SOLVED]mupen64plus and Logitech Dual Action Controller mapping issues

I'm trying to configure mupen64plus with a logitech controller (via m64py), but for some reason the main control stick doesn't map properly. Any other axis besides the main axis maps to the correct "axis (3+)" and "axis(3-)" position, but for some reason the main control stick maps to "hat(0 left)", "hat(0 right)", "hat(0 up)" and "hat(0 down)". When I try to load mupen64plus, it then gives an error saying that direction hat(0 up) and hat(0 left) are unknown directions and correspondingly, the two directions on the controller don't work.
I've tried re-defining the axes for axis(0+) and 0-, but that does not seem to do anything.
I have also tried switching from xpad to xboxdrv to see if there might be an improvement, but xboxdrv doesn't even detect the controller.
Does anyone have some suggestions for configuring this? Any help is appreciated.

I ran jscal from the terminal with
jscal -c /dev/input/js0
Strangely, the inputs for the '+' pad and the main analogue stick seem to be switched, i.e. the analogue stick only returns values of +1, 0, -1 for its axes and the + pad returns values of 1, 128, 255 for its axes... the other analogue stick returns the 1,128,255 axis values which makes sense since it's sensitive to amount of deflection.
I tried the SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE setting. That made the program detect a different joystick, however the configuration has the same issues as before (i.e. it's detecting the same joystick as being a different device, but the configuration is the same as before)

Out of the blue, just a few minutes ago, every time I click on a link, it opens in a new window. It is very frustrating and annoying, and I don't know why this is happening. Also, when I start to type in the navigation bar, the first letter shows up as a capital even though caps lock is not on. I think the problems are related, but I don't know how.

Wow, just as soon as I posted this, everything went back to normal.
