Bug Description
I've been running pre-installed Windows 7 on a Fujitsu AH532 since 2012.
Two weeks back, I installed a Live-USB with Ubuntu 14.04. All working well, but I struggled getting it persistent, so I decided to do a full Ubuntu installation to another USB-drive. Leaving my Windows hard drive untouched.
What I did:
1) I entered my "BIOS" to change boot order, and booting from my Ubuntu Live-USB.
2) I tried following the installation guide https:/
- 1MB BIOS Boot (pretty sure I left this unformatted,but it now reports as Ext4)
- 666MB EFI System, FAT32
- 30GB Linux Filesystem, Ext4
- 999MB Linux Swap, Swap
3) I installed Ubuntu on a second USB-drive. Leaving my Windows hard-drive "intact" (?)
The result:
Now, I can only boot my machine by inserting my second full-installati
I cannot boot Windows, and I cannot boot from my LiveUSB.
If I boot without inserting my full-installati
