I bought a new Lenovo laptop with DOS and I wanted to make it dual boot (Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7, both 64 bit).
I took the following steps to install both systems:
- Installed Windows 7 OS
- Windows 7 working fine
- Installed Ubuntu 14.04
- On restart Boot menu is shown (Ubuntu, Adavanced, Memory, Windows..)
- On selecting Ubuntu, it is working fine
Here are my observations on selecting Windows after installation:
- Boot menu disappears
- The blank grub screen remains there
- Windows 7 boots up (screen is still blank, but I hear the welcome sound of windows)
- Screen is still blank, I enter the windows password and Windows log on (windows login sound is heard)
- Screen still blank, I press Alt + F4, Enter, machine shuts down
I don't understand why the welcome screen on Windows 7 does not show up, even when both operating systems are installed successfully.
I tried the same again with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 and got the same results.
Here is the output of the sudo lshw -C display
command:
