Hello everyone, I'm new in the forum!
Here the facts:
Installed Windows 7ice Extreme on my HDD.
From Windows I resized the OS partition and created a new one for data ad leaved a 40GB free space.
Booted from CD the Graphical Install.
Partitioned manually my free space: 2gb swap and the remaining as logical ext4 with journaling for the OS.
Installed correctly Kali, was asked me to install Grub in the master boot record..I said yes because he saw the Windows Vista(bootloader).
Reboot.
Grub rescue: no such partition.
Now, I'm a beginner so I tryed some methods to recover or fix Grub found in internet, but anything works...
Things that could be (or not..) useful:
In grub rescue:
- ls command gives me: (hd0) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0)
- ls (hd0,3)/ doesn't return any answer...the machine seems to do nothing, completely freezed...after 20 mins->CTRL+ALT+DEL!
- but commands like "set prefix=(hd0,3)/boot/grub" seems to work..no errors...
In live:
- "mount /devs" displays: "mount: can't find devs in /etc/fstab or etc/mtab"..
...trying to continue after all...
- when I try to update GRUB he sais something like "no groups found" and then "Windows Vista(loader) found. done." But no changes.
What went wrong?
i am using win 7 in dell inspiron with 4 gb ram with i5 processor .
i tried burning the iso to a dvd using nero's option data dvd ...
and when i try to boot it from bios its shows a black screen with cursor blinking 3 times and boot into windows..
i then tried mounting it with daemon tools , then used the setup from the file of iso and it made a box to reboot to complete installation and i did that, but when i rebooted it came up with a boot loader of win 7 and kali linux installation completion and went for the installation ... but proceeding the steps it end up with a cd-rom not detected box and i was supposed to abort the installation ..
is there any possible way to fix this....
Hello
I have an external HDD and what I want to do is installing Kali Linux in this external HDD but no placing Grub on my principal drive "C:" (it has Windows).
I don't want to see Grub splash asking me every single time if I want to load Windows or Linux, I want my PC turn on or restart and go directly to Windows but if I set as primary boot my external drive, I select the external HDD where do I have Kali Linux and I'll run Kali Linux.
I have installed Kali Linux with Grub option, and I just remove it (with fixmbr utility of Windows), so I'm going to reinstall Kali Linux in my external HDD... Is there any option during installation that allows me to do what I want? Can I install Grub only my external HDD? :confused:
Thanks! :)
