Title:
GRUB needing to be continuously reinstalled
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I have a Lenovo T430s laptop with a dual Windows/Ubuntu Install.
Windows 7 Pro 64bit is installed on the laptop's main hard drive
(default from the manufacturer)
I also have Ubuntu 12.10 64bit installed on the laptop's internal 16
gb cache drive. The original function was to be a cache drive for
windows but since Lenovo did not set it up properly I decided to try
running an Ubuntu install off of it (works wonderfully, when I can get
it to boot!). This drive is a select-able boot option when choosing a
device to boot from before the computer starts up.
The problem: I have had to reinstall GRUB on the drive multiple times
using an Ubuntu Install DVD (with boot repair). Seemingly at random
intervals GRUB will not launch when I select the bootable cache drive
and I need to reinstall it with the DVD, then it will work fine for
several boots until GRUB dissapears again. I have only been
installing GRUB on the drive with Ubuntu on it as I like the ability
to turn the laptop on and have it automatically boot into Windows
without launching GRUB. If installing GRUB on the main drive is the
only solution then I will do that but I am wondering if there is
another problem happening here.
Thanks for the help
