http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi all Trying to install Ubuntu Studio 11.04 32 bit as a dual boot alongside dowsXP on an Advent 4213 netbook from a usb stick (it has no optical drive). I resized the main partition on the netbook with partition wizard, leaving an unallocated partition on the C drive of 60Gb, intended for the ubuntu OS - this seemed to go well enough with everything intact. Downloaded LiLi USB Creator and set up the ISO image on it as per instructions: The usb stick is a 16Gb Sandisk model, FAT32 formatted and doesn't have the U3 Launchpad. I've set the 1st boot drive in the netbook BIOS as the sandisk (Hardware)

Hello everyone,

I am completely new to linux, and thus far my experience with linux has been booting ubuntu 12.04 from a flash drive to play around with. I would eventually like to dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 alongside windows 7.

I have a Sony Vaio E series SVE15115FXS model laptop. The computer comes with 3 partitions loaded: 1. Recovery Partition 2. System Reserved Partition 3.

Hello. My wife has just bought a Samsung NC110P, and after a few months of windows, she is very tired of it and wishes to install Ubuntu as a dual boot. However since the netbook lacks a DVD drive, I have created a USB installation stick. If I boot the computer with the stick inserted, it ignores it and boots windows.

I took a USB IDE hard drive and partitioned out a 20gb section formatted to fat32.

Then ran usb creator and it loaded onto the partition ok.

However, it does not boot, it tries, the light flashes on the drive, the monitor just blinks a cursor.

Should it work? 2nd shows gparted of the hard drive

I had to lower the persistance down to 3.5gb or usb creator gave checksum errors.

all.

I just brought a new Toshiba Satallite M840 with pre-loaded Windows 8.

Lubuntu from USB 31 weeks 13 hours ago

I have An Acer Aspire 1362 Laptop with AMD Sompron 2800+ processor and only 256MB RAM, with Windows XP installed. I have downloaded Lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso and installed it to a 16GB USB stick. I do not want to install Lubuntu on my hard drive (yet!).

I have got the USB stick to boot, and am working my way through the menu.

I am not a computer savvy and need to know how to partition my USB drive without messing up my laptop.

I already have the boot order set up properly and the USB drive already has the ISO image downloaded onto it.

I am ready for install but just do not know how to partition. I am installing Ubuntu 12.4 LTS onto a USB. Can someone help me? I need an easy walk through please.

Hi

I am attempting to install the latest ubuntu on a Samsung NP-NC110 netbook. This came pre installed with Windows 7 Home Edition. I have already formatted drive completely(samsung recovery partition included) and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate with no problems. However I want the option of at least a dual boot with Ubuntu.

I'm trying to set up an 8GB USB drive a persistent live boot.

The tutorial I am using told me to use fdisk and create two partitions. The first partition is supposed to be just large enough to hold the ISO image I'm using, which in this case is 2.9GB.

I'm having trouble to install Ubuntu. I use a ASUS　Eee 1015pem netbook. Recently, I my netbook got wet. I had it inside my backback and all my things got wet. The netbook boots up fine but it will not load the OS. I downloaded ubuntu onto my external hard drive and changed the settings in my Bios to boot from a removable device. Nothing happens.
