I had a very hard time to dual boot install Ubuntu 12.04
Apparently, Ubuntu has restriction of 4 partitions and I already had 4, so it just couldn't recognise my partitions. This was something I realised too late, but finally got to install Ubuntu.
Now, even though Windows 7 option is listed when I try to boot my laptop, it doesn't really let me boot and just loops back to begin.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Z930. It came with Windows 7 pre-installed and I want to install Ubuntu as well. Unfortunately the Ubuntu installer doesn't give the me option I require, which is to "install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7".
Hello!
I've spent all night trying to get Ubuntu 12.10 x64 installed alongside Windows 8 on my new Samsung Series 7 laptop.
I just bought a new laptop that comes with Windows 7 preinstalled and I want to install Ubuntu alongside with it.
The system came with 5 partitions:
System partition
Unknown partition
NTFS partition (the one with windows)
NTFS partition (to be used for data)
A recovery partition
I had removed the NTFS data partition and shrinked the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu as it will be my m
Hi All,
I installed ubuntu alongside with windows 7 but I am not getting the option for ubuntu in the windows boot loader.
I have a 320 gb hard disk:
C: drive - 40 gb windows has been installed on this
D and E drives - 250 gb used for data
F: drive - 15 gb firstly formatted as NTFS but used gparted to change the filesyste. This is the partition I used to install ubuntu.
I bought a $600 laptop about a year ago with Windows 7 installed. I had Ubuntu on a previous computer, but I accidentally deleted windows in the process on my old computer.
I'm trying to figure out how to allocate ~80% of disk space to Ubuntu 12.10 and ~20% to Windows but after installation, it seems like I only have ~177 GB volume on both Ubuntu and Windows when my HDD is 1TB...GParted shows multiple partitions (3 nfts though I understand one is on the SSD?) with one of them being very large but inaccessible and protected(key symbol)?
I'm trying to set up a dual boot Lenovo Ideapad that came with Windows 7.
Lenovo uses up 4 partitions out of the box. They are:
(unnamed) 14GB
LENOVO D: 30GB
SYSTEM_DRV 200MB
Window7_OS C: 400GB
I have no idea what the first 3 do.
I'm installing ubuntu on my new HP laptop which already has Windows 7. I've got Ubuntu 12.04 on a DVD.
I want to install it in the best way and assume that is with a dual boot using a dedicated partition.
So I choose the "Something else" option after install.
