![]() I'd prefer to avoid re-installing Ubuntu for the simple fact that I would like to save the time of re-installing all the other packages I had previously installed (and cannot recall exactly what additional what they were, so I'd have to figure that out first.)Īny ideas what is wrong? If you could post a simple set of instructions, that would be great. AFter posting this, I will re-boot from a live USB, get the partition information and update this thread. I do not have partition information at present. I may have chosen the wrong argument for the nvme device, specifying the wrong partition etc. If memory serves, after manually running 'grub-install', Windows 7 would not boot anymore. ![]() boot-repair and re-install just end in a spinning-icon on the window and the boot-repair or install program appears to be unresponsive after a go-get-coffee-come-back-still-spinning-go-to-the-store-come-back-still-spinning interminable wait of many minutes. I have tried boot-repair, manually running 'grub-install /dev/nvme0n1', and simply doing a re-install of Ubuntu to no avail. In fact, I have mounted it whilst booted off a live USB and poked around. My Ubuntu partition was identically sized as from before, and I have copied the contents from the old 512GB NVMe SSD Ubuntu partition to the new one using 'dd', so the OS should be there. Originally I think I had Grub configured so I could interrupt the boot sequence and boot Ubuntu, otherwise it defaulted to Windows (cuz I spend most of my time in Autodesk Civil3D / other land surveying software). When all was said and done, I could boot Windows 7, but any option for booting Ubuntu was gone. I then re-sized the partitions using, if memory serves, EaseUS or Mini-Partition-Wizard. This entailed putting the old 512GB NVMe SSD in an external USB enclosure, partitioning the new 1TB NVMe with identical partition numbers and sizes, then copying each partition one-by-one over to the new NVMe SSD using 'dd' whilst booted into SystemRescueCD (or something similar) off a USB thumb drive. I upgraded to a Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe SSD. System was previously dual-booted with Windows 7 Pro 圆4 & Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit)) on a Samsung 960 512GB NVMe SSD (Note: hard drive was NOT the standard /dev/sdX format was something like //dev/nvme0n1.) Previous dual-boot may have been an BIOS/GPT configuration. Presently configured to boot UEFI/GPT with Legacy BIOS ROMs disabled. Hardware: Dell Precision m5510 laptop 32GB RAM 1TB Samsung 970 EVO+ NVMe SSD. ![]() Problem: Ubuntu 16.04 will not boot on a dual-boot Dell Precision m5510 with Windows 7 already installed. While I am reading, I am going to ask the following question in the hopes someone might shorten my reading time.) ( I am a slow reader and am presently working my way through many threads that Search and/or Google found.
