    How to setup dual boot with grub 2 with windows 7?

    I have 3 HDD's 1 kubuntu, 2 windows 7, and 3 just back up. I did a fresh install of Kub 10.4 on HDD1 while Win 7 was on #2. I usually do this because grub would set up a dual boot. So after install and restart I got hung on the Verifying DMI Pool Data. So after going through several solution to that problem and no results I tried to install kubuntu without the windows HDD installed and that worked.

    I was wondering will the code below help? I don't want to try it just yet and muck something up. I'm so tired of reinstalling the OS, I reinstalled a few times while trying to fix the verifying DMI Pool Data problem. If you need anymore info please let me know.

    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libdebian-installer4
    $ sudo os-prober
    $ sudo update-grub
    Also another quick question is it safe to install the latest nvidia driver from their site or should I stick with the Activating Hardware driver via System---> Hardware driver? I remember reading people are having problems installing the drivers they get from nvidia and I'm so used to doing it that way.
Working...
