I volunteer in a small community computer lab and were dual booting Win 7 And Mepis Linux. I had set up a separate boot partition to chain load to Win 7 and Linux. We just installed Win 8 and want to be able to triple boot Win 7, Win 8 and Linux. I installed easyBCD 2.2 and got it to work triple booting into all three OS's. We have 12 computers, so instead of going through the install process 11 more times, I used Clonezilla to make a whole disk image then restored that image to the other computers. (All 12 computers were assembled at the same time with the same parts and we have site licenses for Win7 & 8).
On the first computer we can triple boot but the other 11 can only boot into Win 7 and Win 8 but not into Linux (legacy GRUB). I just get: a black screen and the word GRUB and a blinking curser. I do not use the small boot partition but am trying to boot sda6 where root and GRUB for Mepis is. I can use Super Grub to boot to the Linux partition, sda6, directly and indirectly and it boots and runs OK. So what am I missing with easyBCD?
