Hello all,

I'm starting with Windows 7 preinstalled on a laptop, and I want it to be able to dual-boot with Kali. I've booted it up from a live USB, set the partition, and installed it correctly - the process appears to have worked, as my W7 OS is showing the hard drive as 100GB smaller than before. However, on startup, GRUB isn't available. No mention of it anywhere, so I formatted the partition and reinstalled Kali, and accepted when it wanted to add to the master boot record. Unfortunately, nothing's showing up at all for me anywhere, and I'm rather new to Linux. My next move is to attempt to boot up from a live USB again and see if the partition contains the Kali installation, or if it's just trying to kid me. Does anybody have any ideas on this, or had similar problems?

Thanks v. much!
