ogoforth Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I recently attempted to Dual Boot BackTrack 5 R1 64 Bit with Winblows 7. Once Grub launches, BT boots just fine. When I try to boot to Winblows, I get a black screen asking for my Win7 repair disk. When I run the "fix" option nothing is fixed and the problem persists. Winblows will not boot and I receive the same black screen. The only way I can get windows to boot is to fixmbr and fixboot blowing away Grub. Any sugestions? Running Win7 64Bit on an HP Envy 17, attempting to dual boot BT5 R1 64Bit. I have plenty of memory and disk space. BT will boot and run perfectly. Unfortunately I need Winblows for school and don't want to have to reinstall all those stinking updates to Win7 and Office 2010.

Morfir Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You could always run BT as a virtual machine. I know it's not the same but if the problem is persistent and you cant change it withought having to reinstall the windows partition then your best bet might just be a VM.

digip Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have BT4R2 dual booting on my laptop. I installed windows first, then backtrack on remaining space. I would say fix windows, then redo the grub setup, make sure you didn't miss something or overwrite windows bootloader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
