Hi people,

Hi people,

On my laptop (Sony VPCZ13) am running this deamon https://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/wiki/AutoDimmingBacklightDaemon and these patches...

Same problem here too. I have a haptic device (sensable-phantom omni) and reports PDD Error: raw1394 module not loaded, modprobe raw1394 to correct. Then modprobe raw1394 reports FATAL: Module...

No W7 repair CD unfortunately, neither a CD Drive! Based on link (Recovery of a Dell Computer section), I tried to declare my DellUtility partition as "de", wrote the changes on disk, rebooted but...

Followed the guide but according to testdisk the boot sector and backup boot sector in both sda1,2 are OK (boot sectors are identical. Of course I repaired them anyway, but no difference) so I don't...

Thanx for that. Had a quick look, and to tell you the truth I don't clearly see how to use the tool to remove grub from sda1,2...Something I miss here for sure.

Yes its F7 and pressing it right after the dell boot logo (checked it in the manual) unfortunately doesn't work, instead the grub menu loads up. Anyways, I'm willing to take the risk and try to fix...

First of all thank you!

Windows 7 boots fine, so instead of using an installation/repair disk cannot just boot them, go into command mode or recovery console and run the mbr commands? Now,...

testdisk no doubt can do the job but in my case (if you see my earlier posts) made things worse, actually ended up trying to boot from a grub rescue prompt...not very pleasant.

Removing grub from...

Tried it, but the st***d windows require a DVD drive (don't have one, nor an external) to create the restore disk nor allow you to create it as an iso and save it elsewhere! So it seems the only...

Well I decided to resurrect the topic since I've just realized another problem. Pressing F8 at boot time supposedly starts up the Dell restore utility. Sadly this doesn't happen not that I planned to...

Up and running the 64 bit version! Thanx a million! :popcorn:

Man you are a star! 5 mins to read it, one subtraction, and job's done!!! Many many thanx! I can happily install the 64 bit version now!:D

Anyone?

Although I've seen several threads with the same problem, I have not managed to solve the problem. GParted identifies my /dev/sda as unallocated disk space! The machine a Dell Inspiron M101Z laptop...

Same exact prob as well with me.

Anyone...?

I have a Dell m101z laptop in dual boot configuration running Ubuntu 10.10 + W7. The hibernate and suspend option worked like a charm until I proceeded with some updates a few days ago from the...

Ahhh the testdisk...yes I gave that a go and ended up in the grub rescue prompt (before I had the Grub menu, and my main problem was not being able to boot W7)! Then I had to go through the Grub...

@Quackers

man I feel ashamed...seriously didn't see it. Thanks a lot!

@Davster

I can now boot on W7, but had to to do it the hard way. Anyways, the BCD tool was not of any use to me since I...

google'd it but couldn't find anything relevant...

OK. Think is F12 but this only brings up the boot menu and a diagnostics option for video/memory etc tests.

Well sda1 is named after "DellUtility" 41MB FAT partition, and contains the /Boot folder, but not the bootmgr file. I have no idea what this partition is there for! So, you assume I should move the...

Well, no I've tried that and it didn't work. Now /Boot and bootmgr reside in sda3 (Windows 7) apart from sda2 (RECOVERY).

update-grub discovers two "Windows 7 loader", the first on sda2 and the...
