How do I get passed the “MBR-helper missing” error message in installation?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'm entirely new to Linux/Ubuntu so please bear with me.
I currently have Windows 7 32Bit and wanted to install Ubuntu. I used the installation off the website and copied it onto my bootable USB. As I installed Ubuntu it says I need to reboot my system - so I did.
As I try to boot up in Ubuntu it just simply says 'MBR-helper missing' and nothing else, however, it lets me boot back up in Windows fine.
Is there a way to get around or repair this error? I can't find a clear answer on forums.
Is this error because I copied it into my USB? Or is this a common yet fixable problem?
Please help.

Try redownloading the iso. Also don't forget to check the MD5Sum and make sure they are the same

If your Master Boot Record broke during the install, Windows may most probably auto-fix that. Type chkdsk /f /r to Windows commandline (run as administrator).

well, press y and shutdown your PC. As you open Windows back the command prompt will come up instead, and when it's done,you'll see the Windows logon screen. If it fails, create a Ubuntu Boot Repair disk with your USB as a last resort: Ubuntu Boot Repair
