Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot 10.04 64bit On 2nd HDD
Jan 15, 2010I'd like to install Ubuntu on a second internal hard disk which I'm going to pop in today. I've installed Ubuntu on other computers, but it has always been a clean install (I've overwritten Windows). I was wondering if there are any specific problems to look out for while installing onto a second hard drive? I've searched the forum, and it seems that some have problems with Grub. Are there any ways to avoid that? I should add that I have Windows 7 64 bit on my main hard drive, and would like to install Ubuntu on the second, blank drive.

Aug 17, 2010Dell Prec T5500 (Xeon E5504) with two 1T drives, 24G ram, NVidia Quadro NVS420 Windows 7 Pro 64 bit was installed first and works fine
SATA 0 is Win 7 Pro 64 bit , 1 NTFS partition
SATA 1 is partioned as follows
8G swap
200G EXT4 mounted as /
800G NTFS
I booted from Ubuntu cd, ran install chose manual partition scheme and set up SATA 1 as above. Grub2 boots into Windows 7 with no problems and I can see/use NTFS partition on SATA1 When I try to boot into default Ubuntu the screen goes black and then loses video signal and nothing happens, doesn't sound like the disk is doing anything. Grub for the linux boot is as follows
recordfail
insmode ext2
set root='(hd1,2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-UUID --set a05...yadayada....b7a
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic root=UUID=a05....yadayada...b7a ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img -2.6.32-21-generic
If I boot into Live CD I can mount EXT4 on SATA 1 partition and everything looks fine, e.g the files /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-generic and initrd.img-2.26.32-21-generic are both there and the UUID of that drive is the same as referenced in GRUB2.
Ubuntu Installation :: Studio 9.10 64bit To Dual Boot With Existing Windows XP OS?
Jan 29, 2010I have been using ubuntu for a little while so i'm not a total newbie. But im not very confident with installing the latest verion of ubuntu studio. Previously i upgraded to ubuntu studio through the terminal window from Jaunty. This time i want to do a fresh install via a DVD. I tried earlier but the part im confused about is the partitioning and formatting process. I have 2 hardrives. One of my hard drives has my XP OS on it along with my entire life. So I cant afford to make a mistake. The other has an older 32bit version of ubuntu studio on it.
I have looked online but I havent found much help. What i was thinking of is just unplugging my windows drive, doing a fresh install on the other. But then i wouldnt know what to expect when i boot up and plug in the XP drive.
Ubuntu Installation :: Partitioned The Drive And Made A Dual Boot With The 64bit 10.04?
Sep 26, 2010New gateway laptop with a 330M nvidia card and windows 7. I partitioned the drive and made a dual boot with the 64bit 10.04. Everything seemed to be running fine. I installed the recommended drivers for the nvidia card (and also ran an update). I rebooted. Now I get the same thing whether in recovery mode, normal boot or even to a liveCD, first ubuntu with the five dots (with an odd green halo around them) then a few screens flash by and then blackness.
None of the f keys do anything, nor does holding shift during the boot and ctrl+alt+anything does not have an affect except ctrl+alt+delete will shut down still. Once in my frustrated button bashing I did somehow get a stretched out window saying there seems to be some graphics problem, from there I did get to a somewhat normal looking desktop. I didn't to do anything then, foolishly thinking I could do it again in the future (for some presumably unrelated reason I could not get online = no updates and no Internet help) I haven't gotten back there since.

Oct 29, 2010So I decided to try something new and fresh. I wanted to try ubuntu. So I download the 64bit version from here. I made a 25GB partition. I then Wubi found out I didn't need the original file since it was downloading something else. I installed it, rebooted.
Windows comes up with a prompt:
Boot from:
Windows 7
Ubuntu
I click on Ubuntu. This comes up: [URL]. I am fairly new and I don't know what to do. I did research and nothing really showed. I then burned the said 64bit version and tried to do a Live CD but it didn't reboot into ubuntu. I really want to try ubuntu? I am going to re-install again.
General :: Emergency GRUB Loader CD For 64bit Dual Boot
Aug 9, 2010Installing upgrade from Open SuSe 10.3 to 11.3. I did it on a 32-bit laptop, aborted half way through and couldn't get back on because GRUB loader was corrupted. No problem as there are lots of 32-bit GRUB loaders available for download, install was successful 2nd time. I need to do the same for a desktop x64bit dual core Intel. Can't find a x64bit GRUB loader on internet - how do I extract from my current set-up an emergency GRUB-loader CD?

Jan 3, 2011I dual boot windows 7 and Kubuntu on my laptop, my wireless card works on windows 7 no problem, and luckily the company also has a linux version of the driver. My question is, how can I install packages on kubuntu without a wired internet connection, and what packages should I download to be able to install the driver on kubuntu without getting errors?
My wireless card is Realtek 8192CE.
Here is the download page for the driver, in case I missed something.
I am dual-booting Kubuntu/Windows 7 x64bit.
Fedora Installation :: F12 64bit On Optiplex 740 - Hang On First Boot After Install?
Feb 15, 2010New install of Fedora 12 64-bit from DVD on an Optiplex 740 (AMD) with 8GB memory I had to use the mem= option to get the install past the EDD probe, but it seemed to install successfully. Now on boot it goes all the way through the "filling icon" progress meter, then switches to a completely black screen with an X pointer cursor that responds to mouse movement, but nothing else happens. Ctrl-Alt-F{2-5} do not switch to a console login, so the system's inaccessible.

Jun 1, 2010I got a new laptop, this is the one: [URL] and decided that I wanted to go with Fedora instead of Ubuntu with this computer. The laptop runs win 7 64 bit so I'm trying to go with Fedora 64 but it will not boot. I first installed Fedora 12 64 bit from the DVD install and it would go to grub fine but when I boot the fedora os It just stops in the middle of the boot script. When it stops, the last 4 lines are:
kernel_init=0x1fd/0x257
child_rip+0xa/0x20
? kernel_init+0x0/0x257
? child_rip+0x0/x20
I hadn't messed with it for a few weeks and yesterday I saw that 13 was out, so I downloaded and burnt the Fedora 13 64 bit CD. I popped it in, booted the computer and it did the same crap. It didn't stop at the same line but it was around a line with:
? kernel_init
So I guess the kernel isn't loading properly or something. Do ya'll think I would be better off using the 32 bit?
Fedora Installation :: 10 - WDE And Dual-Boot - Boot Sector Is Occupied By WDE Software (TrueCrypt)
May 17, 2009I currently have XP installed on a NetBook (Samsung NC10), and would like to run Fedora on it. I'm currently looking at putting Fedora onto a flash memory card to test it works OK on the hardware, before installing it to the hard disk. The problem I've got is that the boot sector is occupied by WDE software (TrueCrypt). Will this pose a problem for dual-booting XP with Fedora, or will GRUB move the boot loader in the usual way?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Dual Boot With Xp - Grub Can't Boot Into Windows?
Jan 10, 2010I just set up a dual boot on a system with fedora 12 and XP. XP in on one hard drive (sda) and Fedora on a second hard drive (sdb).
I installed grub on the Fedora disk so as to not touch the windows disk at all.
Prior to installation, in the bios, I set the Fedora disk (sdb) first in the boot sequence, and then XP (sda) so that the grub loader would boot up by default. (If I set the windows drive first then the system bypasses grub and loads straight into windows.)
My system can now boot up into Fedora fine, but if I select windows from the grub loader menu I just get a blinking cursor - windows will not boot.What do I have to do so that grub can boot into XP?

Feb 6, 2009I've been wrestling with this for the last couple of days - I can't dual boot XP and F10.
[code]...
I did notice when installing F10 that it remapped my drives, making the WIndows and therefore boot drive /dev/sdb and the Linux Drive /dev/sda. I know this requires changing some of the drive designations (hd0,0 etc) but I've done it twice and ended up only being able to boot into Windows.

View 14 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Dual Boot F10 With Vista
May 6, 2009I have a PC with two 40 Gb hard drives. Vista is currently installed on drive 0. Nothing is installed on drive 1. If I switch cables to the drives, Vista will be installed on drive 1. Nothing will be installed on drive 0. If I then install Fedora 10 on drive 0, will it automatically detect Vista on drive 1 and allow me the option of using Grub or something else to boot it? I want to avoid having Vista overwrite my MBR, but I don't want to piss my wife off because she can't access windows for two weeks while I figure out how to customize Grub or install something else. If I need to customize Grub, (or some other boot loader), I would need step by step instructions. Is there a book or online tutorial?

Aug 25, 2009I have managed to reduce the default LVM F8 install to make room for F10... See Bare metal backup:

And shrink the partition:
[URL]
I now have about 50G free on a 80G drive. The F8 system has a small /boot and an LVM partition that includes swap. What I want to do is install F10 WITHOUT LVM on the free space. Access to the F8 LVM drive would be a plus but not complete necessary. I just want to keep the F8 system as is until I get set up with everything under f10, which may be a bit. I am not sure what to enter for mount points for the custom drive layout. I need a small swap partition (I don't want to use F8 swap because it will be going away in the future, for example when I install F12 and have dual boot F10/F12 system. What should I have as primary partitions and which as secondary?
How do I set up the boot? Grub?
