I've been trying to help a friend reinstall Windows XP after she decided she wasn't ready for Ubuntu, but when I boot her Lenovo T61p from the Windows XP install disk, it complains that there is no hard drive. But the hard drive is fine, and will still boot Ubuntu.
Im planning to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7.
I have 3 internal hard drives, one for windows, one for all my games and one for downloads and such.
I dont have enough space on the C drive to install Ubuntu on the same drive as Windows so I am planning to install it on the hard drive with my games on it (G: Games).
So these are my questions to get me on my way:
1.
I would like to start off by saying that I am new to Ubuntu and forums as well. Lets get on with the problem now. I am on my old desktop, possibly about 7-8 years. It has 2 hard drives on it. 1 hard drive has Windows XP Professional installed on it and the 2nd hard drive is empty.
i just bought windows 7 (i know, you all hate me) and im trying to install it from my laptop running ubuntu 9.04 linux. when i get to the install stage i get the message "windows setup cannot find a location to install temporary files". i believe this is because my hard drive partition is not in NTFS format, therefore windows cannot attach its files to it.
I have a 320gb USB hard drive, one partition for my files, one for playing Wii games, and one which I would like to use for an Ubuntu instillation.
To do this, I partitioned my disk accordingly using Windows, then booted from the Ubuntu CD to install the OS to my external hard drive partition.
I have two desktop computers, a Dell running ubuntu 10.04, and an Acer running win 7.
Everytime I try to install the newest version of ubuntu desktop I never get the option for installing along side windows 7. Also in the GPR disk program it says "ubuntu unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition". I have an Asus laptop and there's 4 hard drive partitions. In order of biggest to smallest drive (d) os(c) recovery and healthy.
Hi guys,
So I was looking into how to install Windows 7 from an external USB hard drive. I found a few different programs that allow you to do this by extracting the Windows 7 image file to the external hard drive in such a way that when you boot the computer up, it will boot from the external hard drive and bring you to the Windows 7 installation process.
So, this is my first time installing Ubuntu on my hard drive, and I'm running into some problems.
Until a couple of hours ago, I had 4 partitions in my hard drive: XP, Vista and 7 installations, plus a data partition.
