Bug Description
I'm not really sure what information you're going to need from me. I can possibly get logs from a fresh install later if need be.
Anyway, what I do have right now:
Installing Ubuntu 12.04 in a dual boot with Windows 7
4 Partition layout:
sda1 - Windows boot
sda2 - Windows
sda3 - Ubuntu
sda4 - Recovery
This was on a Lenovo B570.
In short, I did a fresh install and when I rebooted, I got the error from the windows NT bootloader that essentially said Operating system not found.
I rebooted, tried the chroot method of reinstalling grub, but with no success.
Finally, I tried the chroot method, but installed grub-pc and it worked just fine.
