Thread: Still booting to Windows

-

hey guys, i'm sure has come thousand times, use little quick help.

last night re-installed windows on second hdd (500gb) play games friends. first hdd had ubuntu 12.04 on , planned on doing clean install of 12.10 today. thought go fine since installed windows first , grub allow me choose os boot after installed 12.10. guess that's not case.

have first hdd this:

/root - 25gb
/swap - 4gb
/home - rest of drive

2nd hdd:

windows

chose first hdd place install bootloader or whatever ubuntu 12.10. should have picked windows drive? there way fix or have re-install ubuntu 12.10 again?

appreciated!

it seems 12.10 doesn't install grub2 correctly on mbr sometimes. boot ubuntu cd/dvd in live mode, , if root partition /dev/sda1 mentioned, in terminal try:
code:
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
also don't forget set bios boot sda. restart , see how goes.

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
