I'm very noob at linux and installing techniques. I want to install ubuntu 12.04 from bootable usb flash alongside windows 7 ( also tried live CD but now working ) but computer is not booting from usb flash or LIVE-CD and boots windows 7 ( acer aspire 4750g ). and of course I have set the bios priority in the right way.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu from USB flash. So I boot from it and the install begins. It works until it ask me which type of instillation I want.
I choose alongside with Windows 7 and then it the computer restarts and Windows 7 runs without Ubuntu being installed! I tried this installation several times and every time I get the same problem. How can I fix this problem and get Ubuntu to install?
I had installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a separate partition, in ext4 format in my comp, which initially had only Windows 7 .I had done the installation from a Live USB, which gave me the option Install on boot, in a GRUB menu. I had chosen the option of "Installing Ubuntu alongside Windows". I had chosed the particular partition duing the install, and in mount part, I had given "/".
Ok, I´m new to Ubuntu, and have been trying it out using WUBI, but now I´ve decided to install it on a dual boot configuration alongside my already existing Windows 7 installation.
So here´s my problem: I have 3 HDD's, Windows 7 being installed on sda, with sdb and sdc only for storage. So I go to the installation process, and click the first option there " Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7".
Hi, I created a bootable usb stick with ubuntu 12.04 LTS to install on my computer alongside windows. It installed perfectly, and everything works great, except for my wireless card (working on that). But when I restart my computer, it automaticly boots into Windows 7. I have to plug in that bootable usb drive and hit f12 and then select usb drive to get to grub to boot linux...
I just installed ubuntu to my new lenovo thinkpad so it could dual boot with windows 7. I downloaded the iso file from ubuntu and put it onto a flash drive. I restarted my computer, booted from the flash drive and got the standard options (1. try ubuntu 2. install ubuntu 3. check for disc problems). I went ahead and installed it onto my computer, choosing to install with another operating system.
Replaced my crashed HDD with a Seagate 2TB Sata (bought from a company who pulled it from a working computer, OS unknown) and did a fresh install of Windows 7. Windows shows 100MB boot partition (bootable NTFS) and 200GB Windows partition (NTFS), the rest is unallocated. Win7 Disk Management says the partitioning type is Master Boot Record. Win7 boots and runs fine.
New to ubuntu here and am trying to set up 12.04 alongside my windows7 install.
I got the iso onto a flash drive, managed to install everything just fine, but when I restart the computer after completing the installation, I have no boot options and windows loads automatically.
I'm very new with Ubuntu and generally with linux.
I saw ubuntu and it seems like this OS is really good and stable, and so I decided to install it alongside my windows 7 OS.
I have a few problems with the installation.
Here is what I did:
I downloaded the 64bit version from Ubuntu official website, and burned it on a dvd.
I set the boot sequence to first load from my CD-Rom.
