• Dual Booting Debian and Windows 7
    4 replies, posted
I have just installed Debian on my PC but the Linux Bootloader doesent load at all. It just goes straight to Windows 7. Debian is currently installed to my 80GB HDD. I have tryed adding a Linux entry in EasyBCD But it doesent look like its worked. Any help??
Is it a prebuilt pc? Sometimes pre built pc's overide dual boots in an attempt to avoid file deletion. And are you sure you even dual booted? Do you have two separate partitions? I need a little more info to be of any assistance.
Which was installed last? Windows or Debian? If you installed Windows last, it overwrites the bootloader that Debian made.
