I am trying to install my first linux software, ubuntu 12.04.
I got an iso image of Ubuntu 12.04 from a pc magazine dvd. I first burned it using imgburn on a clean new cd-rw. Then i deleted a 40 gb partition to make it free. I booted from the cd, Ubuntu came up, selected install option followed by install along windows 7 option.
It did not ask me to slide..
I'm new to ubuntu so please forgive any stupid mistakes.
I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.10 to a 500 GB external usb hard drive, to dual boot with windows 7 (windows has already 4 primary partitions so that's the reason for the external drive).
I am having problems getting grub to load Windows 8 properly after installing Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 8 on a solid state drive.
I want to install 12.04 on one hard disk and Windows 7 on another.
Windows 7 is set already installed on one hard disk, but when I try to boot
to it I get a "grub rescue" prompt and I don't know what to do with that.

after turn it on, laptop (hp ENVY m6-1105dx) gives me a error message that there are som
I accidentally removed the current video driver with apt-get remove nvidia-current. That lead to me only seeing this on a reboot.
Which leads to my question: I read up on migrating my Wubi install, and I think it's time for me to format over XP (don't know why I hold on to it, since I have Windows 7 on that tower as well) and install Ubuntu on my second hard drive.
I am trying to install ubuntu on a pc already running windows7 os. I have got 3 volumes on my hard disk. 1st C drive is where windows is installed, second drive A is where I want to install ubuntu and 3rd is used for backup.
When I run installation from my USB it gives my options 1.
I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 along side with windows 8. After selection of option installing along side with windows 8 the installation will copy required files, after completing that action copying files indication will go prompting to click continue button.
Hello.
I'm relatively new to Linux, and I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 64-bits on a HP G72 laptop in dualboot alongside Windows 7 64-bits.
To do it, I'm using a USB key, which I used to install Ubuntu on two other computers (an Asus and a Sony).

However, when I click on the "Next" b
