Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Windows 8 and Linux install

I recently got a Lenovo G580 laptop...nice ...no touch screen. I then proceeded to install Linux Mint 13 "alongside windows." Install went about a nice as possible. I then rebooted as usual and the grub menu showed up as usual. Selected Linux Mint and that went ok, too. Everything worked liked a charm....you know by now something is coming. I then decided to shutdown and when I got the grub menu and selected Windows and I got an error message about configuration error....wanted me to get the installation disk and select "repair." Unfortunetly there were not any...they are on a partition on the hard drive. So I brought up the bios setup and looked at the drives....legacy vs something that begins with "e" (default). So I turned the setup to legacy last (I think) and got
windows to show up. That's the way it stands now. If you need details let me know.

Jim
