I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 with Linux Mint 13 on it (Ubuntu 12.11 I think). I have two sticks of RAM 1GB each. Today, I have changed one for a 2GB one. On boot, BIOS noticed RAM change and redirect me to BIOS setup - to change settings so system knows RAM has changed. Couldn't find out how to do it so resume normal boot.

Hey guys, I've just got a new Dell Inspiron I14-2530p with native Windows 8, and decided to install Ubuntu for a dual boot.

I had to change the bios settings to Legacy instead of UEFI Secure Boot (I don't know very well what that means, but was the only way I found to boot from the CD-ROM). I've used an old live CD I had for Ubuntu 9.10.

The booting went fine, and so did the installation.

[ubuntu] Grub issue 35 weeks 6 days ago

Hi everyone,

I'm having some problems with setting up a dual boot. The setup I have is as followed:

Windows 7 installed on one disk drive (sda) Ubuntu 12.4 installed on my second disk drive (sdb)

If I boot off the second disk drive I get the grub menu which has the option to boot either ubuntu or windows.

F17 with Windows Boot Manager 39 weeks 4 days ago

I am trying to install F17 on a Asus G75 Laptop. I shrank the Window7 partition using the windows disk management utility. Then installed F17 using a installation DVD. To boot the DVD I set the BIOS Boot Option Priority to “P2: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT51M” and installed Fedora without any problem. I removed the install DVD to reboot the computer.

So i have a laptop with ubuntu installed as the only OS. I also have a USB stick with a windows 7 installation on it.

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).

I have Dell Inspiron 1525; installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and everything seemed well. Then did a reboot and tried to get into Vista - but I get a black screen with working cursor and nothing else.

I tried Boot Repair and it said:

Boot successfully repaired.

I was running Ubuntu with an uptime for some two weeks or so. After downloading Black Mesa Source today, I attempted to boot into Windows 7 to install the recently released mod but I got an error message before Grub2 loaded. The message read, “BOOTMGR is missing.” I then booted my Ubuntu Live disc and Googled the error message.

I had recently bought a Dell Inspiron 7520 laptop , Which was pre-loaded with windows 8. I wanted to set up dual boot with Ubuntu 12.10 . I am following issues . Any help will be really appreciated .
