I have a Windows 7 computer. This is what I did:
Using Windows Disk Management, shrunk the available hard drive producing a partition more than large enough for Ubuntu.
Changed the boot order in BIOS to CD, USB, HDD.
Inserted Ubunto 12.04 disk, launched Ubuntu.
Chose "Install alongside windows 7".
Successfully installed Ubuntu, restarted, and it goes straight to Ubuntu.
I currently have the latest version of Ubuntu (12.04 I think.) I just bought a new computer with the hopes of a awesome dual boot. Windows 7 was preinstalled with no discs and I wanted to have Ubuntu. When I finished installing Ubuntu, windows started to have problems and had to do self checks.
A newbie to Ubuntu and I am injoying the experience.
I have an existing windows installation with important applications. I want to take advantage of unix tools and OS environment of Ubuntu.
If I install Ubuntu via Wubi, I would like to still use Windows for many things, like playing some games not available on Ubuntu.
While using Ubuntu, if I encountered an executable that would normally infect Windows, would anything happen to the host Windows operating system?
Would Windows have the virus that I downloaded, or are the two operating systems completely separated?
Another thing: Ar
Yesterday I installed ubuntu 12.04.1.

My situation:
I have Ubuntu 12.10 and I have a lot of important files there.
I want to remove windows 7 and install windows 8
After Installation , Will my ubuntu appear in the Boot Menu again?
I installed Ubuntu 12.4 by wiping Windows and not creating another partition for Ubuntu in the hard drive. I realize that, this was a mistake. I have tried repartitioning using various tools, So that I can run Windows alongside Ubuntu, using my copy of Windows from another PC, but it has all become too complex.
I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 alongside with my Windows 7, and when I restarted my computer after the installation it doesn't give me a menu asking me whether I want to use Ubuntu or Windows 7, it just goes to Ubuntu. Please help me because I need to use a lot of programs that I can only use on Windows.
