Don't know where you get that 7.45 GB from. A full install of Slackware, which has more stuff than Ubuntu, is 4.5 GB. Ubuntu is about 3 GB or less.

You should start another thread - post the link to that thread here so I can find it. In that thread, state what it is you have done, what you expect to happen as a result, and what did happen.

Reading between the lines - you have installed gentoo linux (guessing from context) from an unspecified source, in an unspecified manner, without errors (worth mentioning), warnings or noticeable issues, in a dual-boot configuration (unspecified), on unspecified architecture. The boot process occurs normally - for the other OS.

Sounds like you have not configured the system bootloader for dual-boot.

I can go into detail in the other thread.
Yeah sorry for not specifying. New thread will be made sometime later today...
