GRUB WINDOWS 7 and BACKTRACK4


I know this is the ubuntu forums but bt4 is based on ubuntu and I'm having problems with GRUB and windows 7

So i installed BT4 with grub on my acer aspire one532h

not knowing there was a recovey partition my GRUB has

Ubuntu (bt4)
and two Windows Loader options both of which lead to the recovery partition.

AcerExtensa5230E-PQService-Partition

First.......: Are you able to reach the internet ?

Second...: It is nice to have the PQService-Partition bootable .

Third......: I had the same thing with #!Crunchbang -Ubuntu/Debian .

Fourth....: At my Acer-Laptop I had the choice to hit a Cancel-Button at the recovery-menu .

Fourth/2.: At my Acer PQService was the first partition (hd0,0) .

Fifth.......: Desperately I did not know what to do so I did the recovery .

Sixth......: The recovery performed well .

Seventh..: It is nice to discover the differences between Vista-home-basic-SP-1 and SP-2 again .

Eight.......: Now I have SP-2 again and for the moment the battery-sign is grayed-out at the Taskbar-Settings-Menu .

Ninth.......: GOOD LUCK !

Grub or grub2 ?. "grub-install -v"
And "sudo fdisk -l" while you're at it.
