Having been a Ubuntu user for a while, I switched to Mint 13 recently. All was well until I had to buy a new PC which had Windows 7 - 64bit installed.
It hasn't taken me long to realise how much I dislike it. So I thought I would dual boot using Mint 14 along side Windows 7. I used the Mint 14- 64 bit iso disc and got as far as the Linux Mint desktop. Everything worked great from the CD.
My computer is a new HP Pavilion HPE h8-1360t (64-bit) w/ 3rd gen quad-core i7 processor, 12 GB RAM, and 2 separate 1 TiB hard drives.
I want to keep hard disk #1 as Windows 7, and hard disk #2 I want kubuntu.
When I went through the kubuntu setup, it seemed more unintuitive than with old versions of Ubuntu to set up this scenario.
In Windows, I used the default Partition Editor to free u
Today’s tip is once again using Disk Usage Analyzer that comes with Linux Mint and it is giving Windows XP another helping hand.
I have Windows Vista and Linux Mint 12 KDE installed on my PC, each installed on it's own hard drive. I recently wanted to try out Windows 8 Consumer Preview and see how it ran on my PC so I created a partition on my Windows hard drive for Win 8.
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!
Dualbooting Windows 7 And Linux Mint 12
Dualbooting means having installed two operating systems on one hard disk and being able to boot
from any of them. This tutorial will explain how to install Linux Mint
12 alongside Windows 7 - the procedure however should be the same for
all Ubuntu based distributions and only slightly different for every
other.
This tutorial will guide you to the installation of the new version of Linux Mint 9 code name Isadora on my Windows XP using VirtualBox. Linux Mint 9 is the latest version of Linux Mint that is based on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Its a very nice distro with Ubuntu stability and usability.

I need to organize a virtual network for practice with Windows Server 2008 and several workstations with Windows OS.
To make it all I only have a laptop with Dual-Core 2.10Ghz, 3 GB RAM, 50 GB free space and Windows 7 on it.
First I've installed Windows 7 and then Linux Mint on another hard-drive. So when I started the PC I saw the Grub-Menu with the possibilities to start Mint or Win7.
Then I wanted to install Ubuntu too. So I installed Ubuntu on the same hard-drive as Windows. And here is the problem:
The Grub-Menu was the same. I could choose between Windows and Mint.
