Thread: Need help clean-installing ubuntu 13.04 alongside windows 7

hi all,

few days ago, had ubuntu 12.04 installed alongside windows 7 on dual boot partition across 2 different hard disks. needed re-size '/' running out of space. finding quite risky have involved moving many partitions around, decided wipe off hard disk , install ubuntu on scratch. therefore, did gparted. ran ubuntu 13.04 liveusb , first selected "do else" option. couldn't quite figure out there went , selected "install alongside windows 7".
after installation, re-booted, selected ubuntu os-choice menu , got grub console! figuring problem first boot menu not directing "ubuntu" choice right partition, used easybcd in windows 7 change various partitions in vain. therefore stuck windows 7 , appreciate in figuring out problem is. below gparted screenshots of hard disks after ubuntu 13.04 installation, consideration -

boot live mode, , install grub2 on mbr of sdb. after reboot , go bios , set sdb first boot option.

install grub2 sdb in live mode, open terminal , do:

code:

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb

see if helps. grub2 boot menu should give option win7. selecting might give menu depending changes made easybcd. have undo them make second menu go away since exists win7 boot files.
grub2 enough dual boot, forget easybcd.
