Until recently I was dual-booting Ubuntu 12.04 with Windows 7 (64-bit), using
EasyBCD as the boot manager.
Then 12.10 appeared. I used the standard procedure to upgrade from 12.04, but
12.10 wouldn't boot afterward, although Windows did. I used
boot-repair-disk.iso, a special purpose boot disk, to restore this functionality
in Linux.
I'm now thinking about installing Windows 8, just released, though not strongly
motivated to do it. I suppose it will alter the boot sector in such a way as to
make Ubuntu unbootable, as Windows installations always do. If the application
of the boot-repair-disk.iso does the job again, I'm inclined to proceed with it,
but otherwise maybe not. (Perhaps the boot repair disk would not work with W8
because it's too new?) Anyhow, advice would be appreciated.
