How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)Recently i bought a lenovo u410 ultrabook. It has given along with windows 7 and 4 primary partitions. So to install ubuntu 12.04 i removed one of the primary partition and made it as extended partition. In that extended partition, i allocated memory for the swap and root (/) directory and then installed the ubuntu. After that by using EasyBCD tool, added ubuntu to the boot menu in grub2. So when i try to boot into ubuntu it is showing grub> prompt only. From there how can i boot into ubuntu.
Thanks in advance

Andrea Corbellini almost 11 yearsCould you explain why you had to use a software like EasyBCD? Wasn't Grub installed correctly by Ubuntu?
-
Kranthi almost 11 yearsyes, after installation ubuntu, it is not showing in booting menu, so by reading some threads i used it.

Andrea Corbellini almost 11 years"it is not showing in booting menu" ← do you mean that the system booted directly in Windows? Or that it showed an error (and if so, which error)? Sorry for insisting, but these information are important to understand your problem.

UEFI
... Please if possible, look inBIOS
if there's is an option to switch fromUEFI
toBIOS legacy
or something similar. I had the same problem on myAcer
laptop. This option should be available in the same place where you choose the boot order. -
Kranthi almost 11 years@AndreaCorbellini: At boot time windows boot manager showing only windows OS to select.
