http://askubuntu.com – I want to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my Macmini first gen(Snow Leopard),my iMac G3(Tiger), or my PowerBook G4(Tiger). But i still want my Mac OS X on it. I can't use the disk utility to partion my drives. Even though my macmini runs Snow Leopard the disk utillity says that I need 10 GB of free space even though i have way more then that. I tried using the Ubuntu 10.10 partion table to partion my computer(s) with it. But I can't figure out how to use it. Please Help!!! (HowTos)

I managed to do a very stupid thing today; would like your helpful inputs if you ever did such a thing and recovered from it.

Currently i am having a wubi ubuntu 12.04 partion with 10 GB of space. Now i want to transfer the same to a newly created physical partion of my HDD of 50 GB.

I don't want to loose any data, please recommend.

I have a few questions about disk partitioning, and also on how to properly partion my harddrive for installng windows 7 and fedora dual boot.

So I deleted all OS on my iMac 1GB Ram, 250GB HD and installed Ubuntu 14.0.1 onto the system.

How would I be able to create a bootable Snow Leopard usb to reinstall Snow Leopard. I will probably torrent the DMG but I'm unsure as how to partition the memory stick and how I would go to create the USB.

Thanks in advance

I put on Lion on my mac ... a biiiiiiiig mistake. The machine is only 1yr old and Lion just crashes, hangs up more than windows 98. Wonderful. I lost one of the install disks for the os before Snow Leopard and the snow leopard disk was an upgrade and with Lion on it, wouldn't work anyway ...so left without a usable operating system.

[ubuntu] Ubuntu on iMac <USB> 41 weeks 6 days ago

I want to install Ubuntu Desktop 12.0.4 on a dead iMac. The iMac has no OS installed into it. The only access I have is through an uncompatible OS X Snow Leopard DVD. This gives me access to Disk Utility and terminal (although the terminal will not recognise the sudo command).

I would like create a USB installer (not cd at all costs, as I have no access to CDS at this time).

Right now I am trying to setup 12.10, and I have windows 7 currently installed.

I removed my 12.04 OS and partion entirely through Windows hardware manager by deleting that partition and re-adding it to my main. I am now trying to reinstall 12.10 after a while, and when I select install beside Windows in the options, it shows my second hard drive, which I use only for game installs.
