http://ubuntuforums.org – so i had ubuntu for a long time in my laptop which uses windows 7 and today i decided to try to run on it, i ran it normally and about half-time of my internet browsing on ubuntu it shut down for no reason and the laptop did NOT overheat. so i decided i had enough of ubuntu and today i ran windows 7 and it made a disk check, so i just left it be. after the disk check it went to the TOSHIBA LEADING INNOATIVE or whatever. then after it finishes loading it goes to the TOSHIBA LEADING thing once again, etc and it never really turns on, and the only oeprating system that works now is ubuntu, seriou (Hardware)

I tried Ubuntu and decided Windows 7 was good enough for me.I tried to uninstall it but in Disk Management in Windows 7, I can't find the partition for Ubuntu. There are HP_Tools, OS (C:), Recovery (D:) and SYSTEM partitions and are all NTFS. My HDD has 250 GB, but it shows only ~230 GBs.

Hi Well I will tell you which was my problem. I was on internet last night, all was good. I left my laptop on stand by and today on the morning I could wake up my laptop so I turn it of the manua way. When I start again, I notice there is something going wrong

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 with Gnome 3 and every time I power on my system, there is always a disk check which is getting kind of annoying. I am dual booting with Windows 7 and also have a second hard drive in my laptop that is replacing the CD drive. The only thing I've found was this post, which hasn't worked.

Any thoughts?

Hello there, i've recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite C850D-107 for my university work to go alongside my desktop. I have got Windows on desktop and then decided to install Ubuntu onto here as a complete install with no windows installation left on here so that i can easily learn to program in java just on the laptop and keep it separate from the Windows machine.

How to get rid of Windows 23 weeks 5 days ago

I think the answer must be very simple, but I still don't know it. I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 in my Windows 7 laptop. After installing Ubuntu and started using it I decided to restart my laptop. But when I turned it on again,it still asks me if I want to use Windows 7 or Ubuntu. How can I get rid of Windows 7 so as to start directly from Ubuntu the next time I turn my computer on? Thanks!

Hi there, I made a LiveUsb for Ubuntu 13.04 to check it out on trial mode, it booted rather slowly and it would freeze for a few seconds every time i tried to check something, like checking the volume, about a minute after logging in, I tried to change the mouse sensitivity, Ubuntu froze in this screen for 5 minutes so I decided to reboot.

Hi All:

So this is a pretty general question, and I think I know how it works, it's just I want to check to make sure I got it right.

I have this laptop that I use the most, and I decided to run Ubuntu on it too so I can constantly practice using Ubuntu. The thing is, I don't think I want to install Ubuntu (as a dual boot) alongside Windows, so I'm going the Live CD route.

I've got an Asus laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 on separate partitions. Ethernet/wireless works fine if I do the following: 1. Boot into Windows (first thing in the morning) 2. Boot into Ubuntu (first thing in the morning or a long time after using windows) 3. Boot into Windows immediately after being in Ubuntu.
