Carry out various boot checks like restarting the system from linux to windows, windows to windows, windows to linux and power-on to boot windows. If youd rather not wait, you can select Restart now at the bottom of the Windows needs to restart to continue screen. If you do nothing, your computer will reset automatically after 10 seconds or so.

Experiment with the resolutions and find one suitable for your system. Now that the Windows 7 clean install process is nearly complete, you need to restart your computer. I tried the following resolutions on my system: 640x480 - not garbled, but windows boot graphics is not displayed Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard, or an input method, and then click Next. Apply changes to grub: $ sudo update-grub To run the Bootrec.exe tool, first start the Windows RE: Put the Windows Vista or Windows 7 media in the DVD drive, and then start the computer. This changes the grub graphical boot screen resolution to 1024x768. Uncomment the line: GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 To enable graphical grub $ sudo nano /etc/default/grubĬomment the line: # GRUB_TERMINAL='console' Solution Use Shift+Restart From Settings From the signin screen Press Windows key + R (force Windows to start into safe mode every time you reboot the PC). Install Windows 7 using the Custom option and formatting the hard disk. Mismatch in the resolution of graphical grub and windows boot screen appears to be the cause of the problem. GRUB_TERMINAL='console'Įnabling the above line in /etc/default/grub solves the problem but disables the graphical grub and presents a basic text based Grub screen.

I faced the same problem with Dell Inspiwith Intel HD 4400 graphics.
