Hey guys!
This is possible and for real... As smirnoff said... all the game is about the boot loaders... Well follow the steps:
Install Windows 7 in a seperate partition
This will eat up your Grub boot loader which is used by Ubuntu linux
Not boot from Ubuntu's live CD and just boot don't install it
Once the desktop appears, open terminal and type the following codes :
Code:
sudo grub
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
That bring you to your Ubuntu partition in the form of (hdX,Y), now use this code:
Code:
grub> root (hdX,Y)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
That has re-installed grub but you will no longer see windows 7 boot option, don't worry
Boot Ubuntu from hard disk open terminal from and type :
Code:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
A text file will be opened and at the bottom add these lines:
Code:
title windows 7 beta (Loader)
root (hd0,1)
