Thread: issues after dual boot

ubuntu working charm until decided install windows along side , dual-boot. after everytime go windows, , when reset pc when gui(desktop) of files locked , many services don't start, pop-up windows ask me if want delete thing messing up. never do. have use dock program, or press power button restart/shutdown etc menu pop up. upon rebooting state pc has go through 'fsck', , doesn't work of time. had reboot 3 times in row system start normally.

things i've done have caused this-edited grub file uncomment chainloader section , made +5 opposed +1 that's there, made no difference see. didn't reactivate main ubuntu partition, think may problem, i'm not sure. if need more info please let me know.

didn't see anywhere supposed reactivate ubuntu partition, more think more think should check partitions.

also, how change position of os/kernel choice in grub menu

windows wants first os in installation. if install second, there's bunch of grief. (happens because single computers (dos), not networked computers linux / unix.) there's lot of information here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/re...tallingwindows . check out section under "restoring grub" 1/4 of way down.

can boot windows via grub? if not, how getting windows? or aren't you? revert chainloader +1. why did put +5?

not sure mean "reactivate ubuntu". no, shouldn't need that.

grub decides default boot choice line "default=0" near beginning of /boot/grub/menu.lst. counts "0", mean first choice in list of possible boot choices, toward end of menu.lst file.
