I have W7 and Ubuntu loaded on my Aspire 5742.
After finally working out that my BSOD was caused by faulty RAM, I re installed W7 but had problems getting Windows Update to install Service Pack 1.
Eventually I fixed Windows Update and ran Tweaking.com.
Now I am unable to boot Ubuntu- I press F12 on boot up but am only given W7 as my boot option.
I have checked with Disk Manager and the HDD is marked as Basic.
I tried using the Ubuntu CD to access the drive. It tells me I have Ubuntu installed but only gives me an option to delete it and re install.
I have run out of ideas
Any suggestions are appreciated.
