What I think has happened: Windows 7 installed first and badly. I installed it again. First, there was Windows XP to guide where the bootloader went to so it was put on /dev/sdb1/. But, the second time no such guide existed so the machine put another bootloader on /dev/sda1/. sda1, by the way, is the only partition on a 2TB drive. No boot record partition appears to exist according to gedit. I'm not sure where Grub2 is getting this information from. But, there it is.

The taskbar has seen the biggest visual changes, where the old Quick Launch toolbar has been replaced with the ability to pin applications to the taskbar. Buttons for pinned applications are integrated with the task buttons. These buttons also enable Jump Lists to allow easy access to common tasks, and files frequently used with specific applications.[66] The revamped taskbar also allows the reordering of taskbar buttons. To the far right of the system clock is a small rectangular button that serves as the Show desktop icon. By default, hovering over this button makes all visible windows transparent for a quick look at the desktop.[67] In touch-enabled displays such as touch screens, tablet PCs, etc., this button is slightly (8 pixels) wider in order to accommodate being pressed by a finger.[68] Clicking this button minimizes all windows, and clicking it a second time restores them.
Window management in Windows 7 has several new features: Aero Snap maximizes a window when it is dragged to the top, left, or right of the screen.[69] Dragging windows to the left or right edges of the screen allows users to snap software windows to either side of the screen, such that the windows take up half the screen. When a user moves windows that were snapped or maximized using Snap, the system restores their previous state. Snap functions can also be triggered with keyboard shortcuts. Aero Shake hides all inactive windows when the active window's title bar is dragged back and forth rapidly.
We had a SATA3 drive that was performing poorly and making noise, and installed Windows 7 onto a new drive. The install went well, but left the bootloader on the old drive, and so I could not remove it; Windows treated it as a multi-boot system with a new boot option on the new disk. Everything worked, so I figured I'd have time to fix it. Well, the old drive died a few weeks later and now I have no idea how to address this.
How can I instruct the PC to boot to the new disk, when there isn't a bootloader present on it? Do I need to reinstall Windows from scratch? From looking at the board specs, it supports UEFI, I am unsure if this is relevant.
In particular, this message indicates that Startup Repair was unable to find the correct BOOTMGR bootloader at the expected location(s). While the usual fix for a missing bootloader is to run Startup Repair, in this case, Startup Repair is unable to correct the problem for one or more reasons.
Note: If your PC starts to load Windows, but then fails, then the bootloader is not the problem. Instead, you should try starting the PC in Safe Mode and troubleshooting from there. Performing a System Restore would be a good place to start.
However, this should not concern you. The installation can be performed in an offline mode if you will,especially the tricky parts of configuring the partitions and the bootloader. The post-install use is anothermatter, but provided you selected a machine that works well in Linux, you will be absolutely fine. So please,IGNORE the Wireless woes, they are totally unrelated, and focus on the mechanics of dual booting.
The first two steps are as follows: Choose your language. Then, take a look at the summary window. It willhighlight steps that need completion before you can move on to the next stage. In this case, the tricky part iscalled Installation Destination. What it actually means is that you will need to prepare your disks, mark yourpartitions and configure the bootloader.
The third section, named, Other Storage Options is the most critical one. We will not opt for the automaticpartitioning, because it could be destructive. Instead, we will configure partitions manually. Mark therelevant radio button. Encryption is not important at this point. At the bottom, the blue hyperlink will takeyou to the bootloader setup. You can do that right now, but your choice will be reset if you change the deviceselection and choose some of the partitions.
Therefore, you should mark the right disks, click Done, manually partition, come back to this window, reviewthe bootloader selection, and finally hit the Done button again. This is meant to be some kind of a star-logicnon-linear installation flow, and it's quite confusing. Pay attention.
After you've completed this, click Done. This will take you back to the previous menu, where we will now makesure the bootloader has been marked for installation and properly configured to the MBR of the one and onlydisk we have. If you're struggling with the concepts here, read my GRUB and GRUB2 guides please. A must, if you will.
There, it wasn't so difficult. Different, yes. CentOS did present us with a few obstacles. One, the non-linearinstaller is quite tricky. Two, we needed to sort out the bootloader after the installation. And finally, thelaptop itself had its hardware woes, but these are not strictly related to CentOS. Still, we managed just fine.
Windows pirates figured out how to exploit this hack around the time Windows Vista was launched. The Windows 7 Loader program, which I used on a test system, looks at your PC's BIOS to see whether it contains an ACPI_SLIC table with software licensing information ("markers" for the Windows operating system and the name of the computer maker). If the SLIC table is present, the tool installs the correct product key for your Windows 7 edition along with a digital certificate; the combination mimics a legitimate OEM preinstallation. For systems with a BIOS that doesn't contain the proper SLIC tables (a scenario I didn't test), it uses an alternate boot loader (typically some variant of GRUB) and installs BIOS emulation code to fool the system into thinking your system is a legitimate OEM installation. You can use the one-click installer or select from advanced options to personalize your PC by choosing a particular brand.
If you see this problem in your application, the culprit is not the node-sass or Node.js version. It's the sass-loader issue and that's the library you need to upgrade since older versions are not compatible with the newer node-sass.
The tool gives a structured view of Windows BCD store with its explorer like interface and allows easy editing of all BCD objects and elements by novice or advanced users. The user can create, delete or edit every object like boot manager, loader or setting, add and remove elements with simple selections and clicks. See short introduction to BCD objects and elements.
Visual BCD Editor allows complete editing of boot menu. Display order of loaders is only one characteristic. Windows 8 introduced graphical(metro) or text style boot menu which depends on numerous elements and other BCD tools hardly can edit all possible combinations of elements in boot manager, loader and settings objects which influence boot menu style. See details about text or graphic style boot menu.
Visual BCD Editor implements unique automatic creation of loaders for Windows 7/Vista/XP and VHD installations in dual or multi boot systems (since version 0.9.2 of the tool) and so is the ultimate Windows 7/Vista/XP dual/multi boot editor. Update of the tool will follow for this functionality to cover Windows 8.x and Windows 10 loaders.
A boot sector loader (for booting Linux, Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mac OS X) is created with one click but needs manual creation of one additional boot related file with corresponding MBR/PBR boot code for chain loading the non-Windows OS. In development is automatic creation of GRUB based loaders for Linux descendants like Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora.
New in version 0.9.3 of the tool is handling of Custom Bootstrap Actions - boot-time keyboard shortcuts to loaders which allows activation of (eventually hidden) boot menu items on special keyboard keys from boot menu.
/copy Makes a copy of a specified boot entry(or other objects) in the same store. VBCDE Popup Menu item "Copy object"* on the selected object./create Creates a new entry(object) in the boot configuration data store. VBCDE can create application objects, settings objects and device settings objects. These new objects do not have elements (elements can be created with separate operations).VBCDE can create complete boot loader objects with all default elements for following Windows OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, 7, 8*, 8.1* and Windows 10*. More than that VBCDE can create autoMagically on one go complete boot loaders for every installed Windows OS which is accessible either on internal hard disk, external USB disk or VHD(virtual hard disk).More than that VBCDE allows the creation of custom bootstrap actions which are in essence keyboard shortcuts to boot loaders. Custom bootstrap actions are not available on UEFI maybe by the decision of the UEFI working group(?).All these create operations are available from VBCDE menu entry "New" and sub menu entries and from objects popup menu entries "New NT loader - XP/2003", "New OS loader - Vista,7/8*/10*", "New PE .wim loader"* and "New boot sector loader (for Linux, OS/X)"/delete Deletes a specified store entry(object). VBCDE "Del" key on selected object or object popup menu "Delete object"./rename - no bcdedit equivalentVBCDE has a "Rename object" operation accessible over "F2" key on selected object or edit of corresponding "Description" element.
Control of output/v - by default VBCDE displays all available information in the store for every object and element so it displays even more detailed information than bcdedit.Eventually a future version of VBCDE could include a setting to display fewer details.3.2. Boot manager elements/bootsequence - sets one-time boot object/loader for next reboot/default - sets default boot menu entry/displayorder - base of boot menu manipulation/timeout - how long boot menu is displayed before loading continues with default boot menu entry/toolsdisplayorder - separately available boot options like memtest.Visual BCD Editor implements all boot manager options(elements).The main element here is "displayorder" which is the base of Windows Vista,7,8,10 boot menu.See also our special tool "BootNext" which manipulates (not only) "bootsequence" element. 2ff7e9595c
