I've got an Acer Aspire 5750-6866 with 8gb of user upgraded memory. been running dual boot ubuntu and windows 7 for a while. the other day i start getting the hd0 out of disk error and a boot screen that is completely different than what i was getting before (purple boot screen).
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 have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my preinstalled windows 7 Sony vaio s series laptop
following instructions here:

Everything went well and I am able to boot in to windows after complete installation of Ubuntu.
My university courses use almost exclusively unix environments, so I decided it would be a clever idea to dual boot my laptop with both Windows Vista (previously installed), and the most recent Ubuntu (11.10). I'll go into my procedure in a second, but the problem I'm having is that Vista now won't boot...
I have just got a new Dell inspiron laptop which comes with windows 7. I wanted to setup up a windows 7/ubuntu 12.04 dual boot system. I used a USB stick which has a copy of ubuntu 12.04 64 and booted from the USB stick. It took me through the installation process (which involved partitioning the hard disk o make room along side of windows).

Hi all,
Recently got a new Dell XPS15 laptop. The laptop came with Windows 8 by default (no provided installation media). Have been having some real difficulties with dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.
On a brand new Dell XPS 64 bit Laptop with Windows home premium pre-installed I have installed UBUNTU 11.10. I have down loaded the Image from Ubuntu.com and burned that on a CD. Using this CD I have installed it on my machine. I have chosen the dual boot option Every thing went on well and got an option for restart. While restarting it has directly gone to windows.
I got a new laptop (a Vaio S series) which came with Windows 8. I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows, so I used a Ubuntu CD, booted from it and installed Ubuntu. Installation finished successfully, but then the problems began:
After restarting, I encountered issues in terms of choosing which OS I wanted to use when starting up.
