My computer has a SSD drive along with a SATA drive. I've installed Windows on the SSD drive (Intel) already and I would like to install Linux Mint on a partition created on the SATA hard drive. So I partitioned the SATA hard drive like so: linux-swap, EXT4 and a FAT32 partition.
I installed Mint on the EXT4 partition, and when I restarted the computer, there is no GRUB!
Hello I want to install Ubuntu 12.10 on an UEFI machine with manual partitioning.
Do I have to disable "Secure Boot"?
Do I have to create a 2nd ESP (EFI System Partition) for Ubuntu?
Do I have to give it the boot flag?
Do I have to set mount point /boot/efi?
Do I have to install grub on /dev/sda?
I am used to BIOS installation where:
/dev/sda1 100 MB Windows 7 hidden System Partition
/dev/sd
Hello. I'm a fresh user of linux. My opensuse 11.2 crashed yesterday and the partition table was missing. As I have two separate hard disks installed in my computer and the old system was on the first disk, now I'm trying to reinstall suse 11.2 on the second one which is empty and has not been partitioned yet.
I had the idea to dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu and what I did was the following:
Made a clean install of win 7 using all of my hard drive, next I used the ubuntu live cd and gparted to partition my drive to be the following:
/dev/sda1 ext4 20GB (Linux root)
/dev/sda2 ntfs 100GB(Win7)
/dev/sda3 ext4 350GB(Home)
/dev/sda4 extended 4GB(swap)
The thing is, when installing ubuntu I deleted the partiti
I just decided to delete my Windows partition and only use Linux.
My old partition table was:
sda1: W7 boot partition
sda2: W7 partition
sda3: Linux
sda4: start of logic partitions
sda5: swap.
I deleted sda1 and sda2, and then expanded sda3.

In this tutorial, the reader will learn how to install the Linux Mint 12 KDE on a btrfs file system. The B-tree File system (abbreviated to acronym Btrfs) has not matured far enough to be used as a default file system on Linux machines.
I use four partitions on my machine: first and second for different Linux systems, third for data and fourth for swap. On the first partition I installed Mint. By default it used GRUB installed on /dev/sda. Then I installed Slackware on the second partition. I decided to put LILO on /dev/sda. In result I lost access to GRUB and Mint.
Ok, I'm a noob, but I have successfully installed Unubtu on my netbook and a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu on my laptop. I'm now trying to get ANY Linux to install on my main system with no luck. I'm new to Linux, but been building and repairing Windows PC's for over a decade.
Linux Mint 10 is the first version of Linux Mint with built-in support for the B-tree File System (btrfs). Btrfs is one of the newest file systems in the Linux kernel. It is a copy on write file system with the following features: snapshotting and writtable snapshots, object-level mirroring and stripping, file system compression, multi-device [...]
