I had an old laptop that I had Ubuntu and MS vista dual booting. Everything worked fine, then the motherboard went and the computer was unusable. I got a new laptop with Windows 7 on it. With the new laptop I set it up to boot via USB first in the bios. I took the old hard dive from the broken computer and hooked it up through USB.

I have a computer with 3 hard drives on it. I have Ubuntu 12.04 on my newest and biggest hard drive and windows xp on my 2nd hard drive and a old version of Ubuntu 7.04 on the third hard drive. Everything was working perfectly and I was using Grub to choose between the different systems.

Have Ubuntu installed on a 1TB SATA 3 Hard Drive. Also have Windows 7 installed on a separate 1TB SATA 3 Hard Drive. Unplugged Windows Hard Drive before installing Ubuntu as previous versions of Linux always destroyed my Windows installation. What will happen when I plug in the Hard Drive with Windows 7?

Hi guys,

So I was looking into how to install Windows 7 from an external USB hard drive. I found a few different programs that allow you to do this by extracting the Windows 7 image file to the external hard drive in such a way that when you boot the computer up, it will boot from the external hard drive and bring you to the Windows 7 installation process.

[ubuntu] Grub Rescue prompt 1 year 20 weeks ago

Okay I may have screwed up my computer majorly but here it goes:

I was using a duel boot of Windows XP and Ubuntu under GRUB. I upgraded Ubuntu and it stopped being able to load. So I just started using Windows XP exclusively. My Windows XP was very slow and lagging so I tried to reinstall it from the reinstall feature built into my copy of Windows. Once I tried this...

hi i have installed ubuntu from a usb stick. it runs successfully from the usb. when i try to run it direct from the hard drive nothing happens. i am using an acer aspire 5600. without windows xp.

Hi, firstly sorry if this is in the wrong place, or the title didn't make any sense, it's a hard problem to be concise about. So, the problem is this: my cousin dropped her laptop (I think while it was on), and after that her Windows 7 installation wouldn't work. It got as far as the splash screen, and that was all.

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.
