A wild guess, if it is booting into the recovery partition, won't it reset the system to factory defaults? After grub install Windows entry in grub should be changed to point to actual OS than the recovery partition. I guess grub is seriously failing to properly detect other OSes. I face the same issue with grub2 failing to detect fedora from debian. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580736 Please post outputs of following commands (boot into live cd, you may need to install ubuntu again and run these commands) sudo fdisk -l sudo os-prober sudo linux-prober Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
