linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello - My apologies if this is posted somewhere, but I really need some help... I'm brand new to the Linux world and have been trying to get my system properly set up for the best possible Ubuntu installation for a while now. I have a fairly brand new computer with Windows 7 and installed a second brand new hard drive specifically for Linux so I can have a dual boot senerio preserving my Windows operating system as the primary and running Linux on a separate hard drive. So I put the Ubuntu DVD in the CD-ROM drive, reboot my computer, select 'Install Ubuntu', select a language and then nothin (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] First time Ubuntu Installation - Nothing happens?

I recently installed a second hard drive on a Windows XP computer. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 from DVD-ROM onto the second drive, using the installer to partition. When I start the computer, I do not get the option to choose the operating system, and Windows shows the drive (F:) as not having any Linux files. What is my next step?

I installed Ubuntu today for the first time on a Dell desktop running Windows XP sp3. I opted to install on a second hard drive, following these instructions: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/07/23/dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-...

When I reboot my computer, and enter the boot sequence menu in BIOS, there isn't even an entry for my second hard drive.

[Q] Computer time incorrect 15 weeks 2 days ago

This is weird.. No clue how/why it happens.

I run a dual boot system, with 2 hard drives.

my 1TB running Windows and my 500GB running Ubuntu (for android developing)

I can boot into Windows and be fine.. Turn off the computer, and reboot into windows.. Still OK.

The problem: If I boot into my 500GB hard drive (linux)..

Have Ubuntu installed on a 1TB SATA 3 Hard Drive. Also have Windows 7 installed on a separate 1TB SATA 3 Hard Drive. Unplugged Windows Hard Drive before installing Ubuntu as previous versions of Linux always destroyed my Windows installation. What will happen when I plug in the Hard Drive with Windows 7?

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 as a dual-boot system on a computer with Win7 installed. My computer is:

Intel Core I7-2600 CPU Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 motherboard Nvidia GTX 580 GPU Dell S2330MX 23" monitor 128 GB SSD primary drive 1 TB hard drive Netgear USB wireless networking adapter USB keyboard/mouse

I burned the Ubuntu 32 bit iso onto a DVD and booted with it.

I have installed ubuntu alongside windows 7 in a brand new computer and it worked fine for some days. Eventually, Windows showed some problems, but after a safety mode initialization it was working again. Then, Ubuntu cracked and I couldn't use it. After that, I have reinstalled Windows using the recovery CD and now I can't boot from the CD.

Hello,

I just started working with Linux over the weekend. I do have a working dual booting system but it's not configured exactly how I want it to be. Currently Windows 7 Ultimate and Ubuntu are on the same hard drive but different partitions. The Windows boot screen comes up and I can select Windows or Ubuntu fine.

Dual boot to windows 7 24 weeks 16 hours ago

i just installed ubuntu 12.10 alongside windows 7 but now my computer automatically boots to ubuntu. i want windows 7 as my default operating system. when i start up my laptop it shows me no settings or any screen asking me what operating system to use.

My computer refuses to boot from the USB even after I change everything that I can possibly think of on my motherboard's BIOS.

But I have booted from the USB twice in the past. The first time is when I first got the computer and needed to install a new operating system. The second time is when I installed Windows onto the whole hard drive and needed to reinstall Ubuntu.
