I have a Dell Studio 14 laptop with Windows 7 64bit preinstalled. The processor is core i5 and the machine has 4GB RAM. I freed 25GB of memory from my Hard disk and tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 (AMD). Everything went fine. I restarted and Logged into Ubuntu. It worked like a charm. Then I restarted to Windows7. This also worked well as expected.
But, when I rebooted again, I got a black screen saying that
“No modules found. Press any key to restart”
When I press a key, it says “No operating system found”, probably after checking through a network (it printed lines starting with PXE).
I tried exactly in the same way with Ubuntu 8.04 in my machine, and this worked without any problem. The Bootloader was not corrupted after restarting from Windows. I noticed the problem with Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. I feel like a problem regarding the bootloader version. AFAIK, 9.10 and 10.04 is using GRUB 2 when 8.04 use the old version of GRUB.
Is there any way to resolve this issue?
Thanks and Regards
Mine is a Dell laptop. I dont know how to reset my hard drives and wires.
I reinstalled the grub2 from ubuntu 10.04 live cd using the 'grub-install' command. Everything worked fine. But when I booted into windows 7 and restarted my machine, again the grub is lost.
I've got the same setup and have the same problem. Installed Ubuntu 10.04 alongside windows. Worked great. But as soon as I boot windows it messes up the mbr somehow and I get the same error message. grub-install fixed it for me too, but only until the next time I boot windows.
I couldn't solve the problem.
So, I removed GRUB2 and installed the legacy GRUB instead. Now its working fine. But you will not be able to use the new features from GRUB2.
