i just bought windows 7 (i know, you all hate me) and im trying to install it from my laptop running ubuntu 9.04 linux. when i get to the install stage i get the message "windows setup cannot find a location to install temporary files". i believe this is because my hard drive partition is not in NTFS format, therefore windows cannot attach its files to it.
I installed Ubuntu today for the first time on a Dell desktop running Windows XP sp3.
I opted to install on a second hard drive, following these instructions:

When I reboot my computer, and enter the boot sequence menu in BIOS, there isn't even an entry for my second hard drive.
Hello...
I had ubuntu 11.04 installed on another complete hard drive thats not even connected with my main hard drive. see I Just unhooked my Windows vista hard drive. and put another drive to run ubuntu.
Trouble finding a hard drive to install Ubuntu 12.04 on.
As you can see, the 3.74 GB drive is the only one that is showing up. It seems that this is the USB that I am running Ubuntu from, and not an actual drive from the computer. Same thing happens when I try to install Ubuntu. The USB (with no free space) is the only drive that shows up.
I'm hoping this is an easy yes answer, but I wanted to make sure before I start.
I currently have a computer built with two internal hard drives, it's running ubuntu 11.10.
I have two hard drives in my computer. The first is a 128GB ssd with windows 7 installed. The second is a 1TB, used for file storage etc. I decided to wipe the second hard drive and install ubuntu onto it. Installation went fine, until my computer restarted.
In my bios settings the disk with ubuntu was set as the master boot.
Hello. Thanks for reading this...
I was formating my hard drive and the computer shut down during the process. Now it shows it has more Gb than it should, I cant format it again either in windows or ubuntu...
It says it has no label and unrecognized partition...
I'm a bit new to all this so please, if you have any idea try to explain it for dummies...
Thanks.
I started installing Ubuntu 12.10 on my windows 7 (64bit), but then I installed a new windows and therefore deleted the old windows.
I now want to uninstall Ubuntu and GRUB, but my WUBI-uninstaller.exe is not working, and I can't seem to find the Linux partition on my hard drive.
I just want to do a complete format of my HDD without rendering it useless...
I've done a lot of searching for an explanation to this. I have a new computer with windows 8 pre-installed.
