http://ubuntuforums.org – On a new Asus X54C WIN7 laptop I am trying to install 12.10 desktop 64 bit. In the documentation ( http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/...desktop-latest ) step 4 'Allocate drive space' (installation type box) the first option is 'Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7'. The actual installation type box that the installer presents me has 4 options: 1) 'Erase disk and install Ubuntu', 2) 'Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation ...', 3) 'Use LVM with the new Ubuntu installation;, and 4) 'Something else'. What have I done wrong that makes me miss the 'Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7' option?? G (Hardware)

I'm very new with Ubuntu and generally with linux. I saw ubuntu and it seems like this OS is really good and stable, and so I decided to install it alongside my windows 7 OS.

I have a few problems with the installation. Here is what I did:

I want to install Ubuntu alongside my Windows 7. I defragmented my C: drive and shrink it. I then started the Ubuntu installation which I burned on CD. I followed the installation guide from the official site. I did step 3 and choose my wireless. According to the guide I supposed to arrive step 4 and install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. But instead I arrived this place: What did I made wrong?

Ok, I´m new to Ubuntu, and have been trying it out using WUBI, but now I´ve decided to install it on a dual boot configuration alongside my already existing Windows 7 installation.

So here´s my problem: I have 3 HDD's, Windows 7 being installed on sda, with sdb and sdc only for storage. So I go to the installation process, and click the first option there " Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7".

Please help!

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 in my new Acer netbook.

I do not get the following message when I try to boot from a disc drive:

"Allocate drive space

Use the checkboxes to choose whether you'd like to Install Ubuntu alongside another operating system, delete your existing operating system and replace it with Ubuntu, or — if you're an advanced user — choose the 'Something else' option"

It hangs for hours at step 2 and I never get to allocate the dis

my 1st option in installation type "install ubuntu along side windows 7" didn't came. I have lots of free space there but the option didn't came, and i went for the 3rd option something else but when i make partition and try to install ubuntu it says "no root file is defined. please correct this from the partiton menu "

I've done a lot of searching for an explanation to this. I have a new computer with windows 8 pre-installed.

The first thing I did was pop in the Ubuntu CD while in Windows. It only gave me the option 'Demo and full installation' instead of 'Install Ubuntu alongside Windows' like it has in the past. Then, I restarted my computer with the disc still in the drive, and booted into the LiveCD environment.
