Hello
I decided to start using Linux instead of windows.
However, in order to migrate smoothly, I do need at beginning to have dual boot until I can get rid off win7.
However, when trying to install Ubuntu on a EXT3 partition (200GB) I prepared on my SSD, the Linux installer does NOT detect win7 (booting Ubuntu 14.04 from USB).
I tried with Ubuntu and Mint, but same problem....
I tried to add in the bootloader with EasyBCD (below):
*******************************************************
There are a total of 2 entries listed in the bootloader. Default: Windows 7 Timeout: 30 seconds EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\
Entry #1 Name: Windows 7 BCD ID: {current} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Entry #2 Name: NeoSmart Linux BCD ID: {f55a7dd2-d452-11e3-852e-cd8f3a06a895} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \NST\nst_linux.mbr
*******************************************************
The dual boot works when I boot and can start win7, but the problem is still the same, Ubuntu doesnt detect win7 and dont know what to do to install it.
I shall add that I have UEFI firmware.
Thanks for help.
