General :: Install Ubuntu Netbook Edition To Dual Boot With XP?
Apr 21, 2011
I have a 160 GB Spaced 'HP Mini 1000' partitioned to two 80 GB drives. On one of them, Windows XP is already installed.
I would like to create a dual boot so that the other empty drive has Ubuntu Netbook edition 10.10.
I am a newbie with Linux, well versed with Windows and decided to venture with learning Linux by doing this.
So far, I have just downloaded the Netbook Edition from the following link.

How should I go about installing the Ubuntu netbook edition to dual boot with XP?

I have already installed Ubuntu from an USB drive, however everytime I have to install it on a desktop/laptop or netbook, I have to "burn" the USB again, so I wonder if there is any way to have both (Ubuntu desktop and Netbook Edition) on the same USB drive and choose wich one you want to install at the boot moment.
I usually have the ISO images and copy the files to the USB with the "Startup Disk Creator" utility built in Ubuntu or eventually with Universal USB Installer or UNetbootin...

I have an Acer Aspire One D250 with Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition installed. The system hangs the majority of boots at the exact same place. Here is what I see when system hangs:

I am running Windows 7 starter on my Samsung N150 Netbook. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on the 4 GB flash drive, and I have been running it for several weeks in the "try mode" without any problems. Now I decided to permanently install Ubuntu netbook edition on my computer from a flash drive. I am following this guide [url] and ran into a big problem on step #5 of the guide and step #4 of the installation. I am not getting the option of installing them side by side, choose between them each startup! Which is what I want to do... I am only getting the option of erase and use entire drive, and specify partitions manually. My goal is to keep Windows 7 on my netbook, and have an option of dual booting into either operating system.

I have a Windows XP/Windows 7 dual boot system. My problem: [URL]. I follow these instructions to the letter, the live "CD" works fine - using a USB stick, I do not have a DVD drive, in- or external -. When I try to install Ubuntu from the live system, it corrupts my master boot record, I get the Error: No Such Device #####################. After I fixed this I tried to install Ubuntu under windows, using the same usb's wubi installer. The install completes, I reboot, and after selecting Ubuntu in my boot menu, I get that likewise well known error with wubildr.mbr [URL]
Rebuilding the USB stick doesn't make any difference, it behaves the same way. The wubi installer has the very annoying habit of downloading the iso during the installation procedure every time, I don't know why I can't just select the iso downloaded in the first step of the above link. This way I cannot check any md5 because I have no idea where it downloads the iso. What should I do to get Ubuntu working? Reinstalling any of my Windows systems is not an option, it is every time like gambling, I am using the same installation files, but sometimes the result is just not the same.

How can I install Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 to a USB drive so I can run it on any computer. I want the full version of it on my USB drive not just the live CD version.I want to use Ubuntu on my school computers.Basically, I wanted a 100% portable UNE that saves all settings, data, programs, etc and is still as fast as possible for a USB.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu Netbook Edition on my Asus Eee PC 1015 netbook (running Windows 7 starter) using wubi, but it fails to install every time. Wubi will download the torrent, download the .iso, then tell me it "cannot retrieve the required installation files." I have also tried manually downloading the .iso and placing it in the same folder as wubi, but it fails to validate the file and begins downloading the torrent.
Just to check, I tried using wubi to install Ubuntu 10.4 and had no problems at all.
I took a look at the log, which says
Code:
08-27 13:37 DEBUG TaskList: ### Running check_iso...
08-27 13:37 DEBUG CommonBackend: Checking C:ubuntuinstallubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso
[Code]....
EDIT: Right, so it was the wrong version: Ubuntu is 10.04.1, Ubuntu Netbook Edition is still 10.04 and won't work with wubi 10.4.1. I found wubi version 10.4 on [URL] and used that, install worked.

I've just unwrapped my new netbook. Its got the new Atom N450 processor and the first thing I want to do is get XP home off of it. I'm just wondering if I should install 9.10 full or download the "netbook edition". Whats the difference? Will I see better performance with the netbook or full edition? (just asking because I'd like to avoid the ~650mb download if I can)

I own an eee pc 900a and would like to install [url] to it.
The eee pc hasn't got an CDROM drive so I have to convert the iso file to an img file to get it on an usb stick for installation.
This page describes how to do that with [url] with Windows, Mac or Ubuntu using usb-creato. But I have non of these available.
How can I convert the iso to an USB image with the help of debian ?

I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.

I have problems installing Ubuntu Netbook Edition (ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso)on Asus eeepc 1001PX. code...
I have tried both Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.3.exe and the Ubuntu start up disk creator to prepare my USB-stick.
I have earlier installed the Ubuntu desktop 10.10 on the same machine with the same method without problems.

I have just purchased an Asus EeePC 1001HA netbook and I would like to install Ubuntu Netbook Edition 9.10 (love the look and the brilliant interface), but I can't get the wireless network to work. I am currently running from a 4Gb USB stick that has the LiveCD on it with a 1Gb persistence. The network notification area only shows wired and VPN connections. I have tried installing the Ralink 3090 driver but I have had no luck in getting the wireless to work.

I just installed an ubuntu netbook edition on my notebook. In the installation process I defined a user with a password. I can use that password to access many system tools, like the synaptic package manager, adding users and so on..
However, when I wanted to do some staff in a terminal as a superuser (using the su command), and I enter my password (There is only a single user and a single password so far) I get authentification failure.
I went to System-->Administration-->uers and groups . I changed the my account type to an "Administrator" (for that I used again my password). hoping that I can use the su command but still it did not work..
I feel that the superuser needs to be set or defined. Since I have not done that then whatever pass word I enter after the command su I will always get "authentification failure"
How can I define the superuser and tell the system that I am the superuser of this computer?

I have a netbook running Windows XP as standard. There is also a recovery partition which came from the factory.
In the past I installed Ubuntu (I think 9.something) from USB key and all worked fine. However my XP became corrupted and I needed to do a repair on it. After this, Ubuntu became removed from the boot select menu.
Since then, Ubuntu has become updated to 10.04, which I now cannot install.
The Live CD tells me there is a "file IO error" and simply stops installation at around 70%.
I did manage to get into Ubuntu from a Live USB using Wubi. However when I chose to install Ubuntu to a Harddrive, the option to "install side by side" was missing.
After reading on the forums, I did a chkdsk /f on Windows and tried again. Now my liveUSB does not show a boot menu!
When I select to boot from USB stick, the screen goes blank with a flashing cursor. Ctrl+alt+dlt reboots.
I'm really lost here! It seems when I fix one problem, another problem arises!
Also when trying to instal Ubuntu within Windows, the process goes through to 100% and asks me to reboot. When I do so, the option for Ubuntu does show in the boot menu. However when I select it, I get an error "Windows boot failed: file wubildr.mbr and status: 0xc00000f - something is corrupt".

I have done the most stupid thing by deleting the current kernel of ubuntu yesterday night (while trying to delete old kernels). Anyways, I have reinstalled Ubuntu but I could not see it to the bootlist (there were memtest of ubuntu and Windows XP at this stage). So wanted to give it a try with EasyBCD. I thought I have successfully added the list elements but pc just does not even show the old boot list element (memtest of ubuntu) and skip to XP. The main partition is E: Windows partition is F: and the ubuntu is in partition of "0,3" so all the stuff is in just one HDD. Here are the details:
[Code]...
Could you please enlighten me what should I do? Tried to find the terminal from the Ubuntu netbook edition boot drive but I could not find it so I have downloaded the desktop edition so if you could help me trying to fix it via terminal with the of boot cd/usb,

I've been using a vista and ubuntu dual-boot setup on my desktop for years now, and it's worked out very nicely. I remember I had vista installed on there first then I installed Ubuntu and the GRUB bootloader installed and it all just worked.I want to install ubuntu on my netbook. It came with windows7 starter, which I am not a big fan of, but I want to keep windows7 on here because I have matlab installed.
How would I set up a dualboot for my netbook? I guess I could make a live usb and try to install ubuntu that way. It would work the same way right? like I could just partition my hard drive and set up dual boot that way?what do you think is the best linux distro for netbook? I was just thinking about going with the netbook version of ubuntu, but have any of you experimented with something else?

I'm trying to dual boot windows XP and ubuntu netbook (XP is the main OS) on my Asus eee 1005HA.
I have the ubuntu on a flash drive and it's bootable, but when I try to install, it only recognizes the flash drive and not the hard drive. How do I make it recognize my hard drive?

I recently installed Netbook Remix(Karmic, I think) on my Samsung N130 netbook as a dual boot with Windows 7. It had been working fine, I'd had no problems switching OS and I had restarted my computer many times without issue.
Today, I was on Windows 7, set it to hibernate when I left the house as I sometimes do, and when I came back and turned my computer on, first it asked which system I wanted to load which it never does after hibernation. I selected Windows, and it took me to the Samsung Recovery Solution screen for some reason, and I closed that. It restarted the computer, and when it turned back on it said GRUB loading, and rebooted again, and keeps looping that whenever I turn it on.
I tried removing Ubuntu using GParted from a flash drive, but I'm still stuck in the loop, and it's gotten rather frustrating.

Perhaps I should have put this in the apple users section, but I am not an apple user. I am using a MSI WIND U100 running OSX snow leopard retail (GUID/GPT - boots using Chameleon).
I've been feeling guilty preaching open source while not currently practising what I preach so finally downloaded ubuntu 10.10 (netbook version) and using unetbootin I made the ISO bootable on an external USB drive.
I already had an empty 40gb partition which I'd intended to dual boot linux on so I went ahead and booted from the external and installed ubuntu. During the install I divided up the 40GB with 3GB for swap and 37GB as ext4 mount point /
Anyway, it installed and rebooted and loaded ubuntu fine using the default option in the auto installed GRUB. However, although the menu show my OSX it does not boot (ARGH!). When selected there is disk activity for a few seconds and then nothing, just blank screen.
I'm praying that I just need to tinker with grub or something to get my OSX back...
(PS> the [URL] forums have loads of info on dual/triple booting these hackintosh netbooks but mostly involving windows XP or windows 7 rather than ubuntu and also mostly about earlier OSX varieties which booted onto MBR partitions rather that GPT.
