Problem with double booting

[HHristov]

Hello, it's my first post here and i need some help. I installed Linux Mint on my laptop in D: partition and everything went OK, but after the restart i don't get any boot menu to select an OS. Now when i start the laptop it loads windows 7 without asking me. I did some search and found out a solution, BUT it doesn't work. 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help

Im using Live CD (it's a usb stick but..) and those commands :

 

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update (after which i get quite a lot of errors)  
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &) ( after this command i get E: Unable to locate package boot-repair

Sounds like you installed the boot loader wrong. It should be installed on the actual hard drive, not a partition.

What program did you use to "burn" the live USB?

[HHristov]

I used "Universal usb installer" .

I can see that 80gb from my D: are full and i can see bootsqm.dat file. Shall i do something with it ?

Can you take a screenshot of the drive in Drive Manager? That would help us get a better idea of what's going on.

Are you missing the Grub2 boot loader menu? You might be able to repair it with this:

If this isn't the problem can you please explain what it is.

I havent seen any boot menu at all and thats the problem. I have to go and work now but asap im at home i'll try your method

Open your start menu and type "msconfig" and open that. Then go to the boot tab and make sure Windows is not the default. Otherwise, you will have to reinstall mint and choose the option that says install alongside windows.

This is a screenshot from disk manager and msconfig. When i installed Mint i choose the alongside option

OK, i fixed it I deleted all the mint partitions and created new ones by myself. It's all working now. Thanks for the help thou
