Now that you know what the overall goal is, how do you get from here to there? First, understand that if you have a computer running Windows 7, that Windows 7′s boot manager is responsible for making sure that the system boots.

If you can think of a better way to install Mint alongside Windows 7, please let me know! If I were to install Mint again, should I instead overwrite the Windows 7 MBR? I'm a little hesitant to do that after reading the following from an Ubuntu guide also found on the website: Do you think there's an easy fix for this? If not, it's no big deal - I'm willing to reinstall Mint a second time if I have to as I haven't even been able to boot into my first installation attempt of Mint! So now this finally brings me to my next question. lst files? I checked the EasyBCD website, and I found an interesting tutorial posted in 2011 for installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 7, but I'm not sure if that applies to my Mint configuration: I used EasyBCD v2.1.1 - perhaps the older versions used.
Please let me know what I can do next! I have an Asus Aspire 4750G. Why am I not seeing the correct GRUB 2 boot menu? Why am I seeing a grub command line interface instead? I tried using the “boot” and “kernel” commands, but obviously I don’t know enough to use this command line properly. However, despite making sure I followed every step correctly, when I select the Linux Mint menu item I created in the Windows 7 boot menu, I don't get the correct GRUB 2 menu. If you had done everything correctly according to the tutorial up until that point, selecting Mint in the Windows boot menu should bring you to the GRUB 2 boot menu, and from there you can select Mint and boot into Linux without a problem. Nobody has answered me yet, so wanting an answer faster, I'm turning to the forumsĮssentially the tutorial has you install Mint on other partitions and then use a tool in Windows called EasyBCD to add a menu entry for Mint in the Windows 7 boot menu.
If you scroll down to the comments section you can see I left a comment related to this issue as "Jason S". So I recently tried installing Linux Mint 13 alongside my previous install of Windows 7 by following this fantastic tutorial at :
