ROSA Forum

I was trying the Gnome 3.8 beta edition in Virtual Box. I like the various themes in Gnome edition and the system as a whole. Now the problem. In virtual box it runs very well, but when I try to install it on my computer with dual boot Windows 7, I face the following problems (I prepared the USB Live with Unetbootin, and its working) :
1. On live boot the OS runs in 1360x768 resolution and does not cover the whole screen, which is 1920x1080.
2. Even after the above problem, if I install the OS, and grub is written in the MBR, it does not boot. On restarting the machine, it simply says grub error.
I am forced to write MBR again with Win7 cd.
Can anyone suggest the solution. Earlier also I faced the same problem while installing the KDE edition of ROSA.

You have problem with win7 partitions and may be with bios/system MBR write protect.

One usefull solution - full format harddrive, rearrage it for two part - win7 and linux and then reinstall win7 and ROSA.

I can'nt say MBR is write protected or not, but other linux systems work well e.g. Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Mageia, PCLinux etc.

If you see grub error, grub not installed in yor system. Do not use unebootin please - write ISO via rosa-imagewriter or dd. Unetbootin non-compartible with ROSA.

Well thanks for the quick reply. Ok. Will definitely try with rosa-imagewriter. My only worry is (as I am not much expert) after installation, the OS may run in 1920x1080 and hope there will be no problem in installing nvidia drivers.
