Dual boot Windows 7 and Linux Mint
by php111 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4V6JK)
Hey, how would I be able to use the Windows 7 bootloader instead of GRUB?
And yes, I searched, searched, and searched. I did found solutions but none worked.
I tried using the Win7 disc, went into repair and opened the command line. I ran three commands in this order. First was bootrec /fixmbr, second was bootrec /fixboot, and third was bootrec /rebuildbcd and all that did was removed GRUB and boot me into Windows.
I used EasyBCD by adding a new entry and yes, I have the options to boot into Linux and Windows with the Windows bootloader. However, it boots into Windows but not Linux. When I tried to boot into Linux and I get the command prompt of GRUB4DOS.
During Linux Mint installation and I tried installing the bootloader on my drive and I cannot use the Windows bootloader. At other times and I installed the bootloader on the Linux partition, still no go for the Windows bootloader. It does give errors while trying to install the bootloader on the Windows partition.
