Hi there
I recently bought a new Gateway desktop. I added another hard drive to it and installed Ubuntu on it. Ubuntu installed the Grub bootloader to the wrong drive, the Windows 7 drive. All this happened before I made the Gateway Recovery Backup disks.
I managed to fix the Windows 7 drive to boot again by using Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr and /FixBoot.
But now when I try to create the Recovery Disks, I get the following message: "Hard drive configuration is not set to the factory default. Backup aborted."
I tried to restore to factory default at startup but I never get the menu I am suppose to get. I just get some kind of prompt, but no recovery option. This is by pressing Alt+F10 a bootup.
When I look at the drive with Gparted, it looks like the drive doesn't have the recovery partition. I have attached a screenshot of it.
Can someone help, please?
Thanks.
