I'm trying to install from Ubuntu Live 10.10. The CD boots fine, but when I go to install, I do not see my (sata)HDD partitions listed; there is nothing listed.This effectively, I cannot install this Ubuntu 10.10 I'm installing on a stock Acer Aspire M50400.
View 9 Replieswhen I go to download 11.3 I am presented with the installation medium for a DVD installation with a button that says download DVD. Should there be an option to download an ISO option for a CD installation on this page along with the DVD version? Some of our older machines can only read CD's with a max size of 500+ megs.

If I just boot Ubuntu the partitions are recognized with GParted and by just mounting them and browsing in file explorer. I'm using a SATA disk. I've tried boot option pci=nommconf irqpoll as found in this thread [URL] with no success.

When I first started to install Ubuntu to my system, I got an error that told me Ubuntu was not successfully installed, so I restarted my computer and tried again. That time it works, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the OS. I noticed that when I start up my computer and I have the OS boot list, Ubuntu and Ubuntu safe mode are listed twice. How do I remove the 2nd one, and is it still installed on my other partition even though it said failed?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter having problems with grub2 and windows seven and being forced to reinstall both windows and Lubuntu, I got grub to work. So after some hours of work, everything is working fine. Today, I was trying to use windows again and windows is no longer listed on grub. What can I do to keep it permanently on the list?
View 9 Replies View Relatedi was dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04 with grub2 as the boot loader then I had to reinstall windows because of some issues, during the installation I had to DELETE the partition windows was installed on then create a new one, this was the ONLY Primary partition in the hd and it was the partition grub2 installed on.
After the installation finished, i loaded an ubuntu live cd and reinstalled grub2 using the graphical tool "boot-repair", it worked and windows 7 appears on the list but ubuntu does not!. I tried sudo update-grub2 (found a tutorial to make this command work in Live CD) but the problem still exists. I also tried booting using the command line (set root=(hd0,1)....etc) but it doesn't work, windows boots when the value is set to 1 but when I try 2 I get an error.
Is there a way to verify that the ubuntu installation is still working and how can I make it appear on grub2 if it's still working. As I said the deleted windows partition was the only Primary partition and the / & /boot & /home & swap were all logical, do I need to set / partition to be Primary in the installation?

I have a MSI a6000 Laptop (that has given me a lot of problems installing Ubuntu.
I finally had to run Ubuntu from a CD in nomodeset
Then when I go to install Ubuntu the only options it gives (regarding my harddrive) are to format my whole hardrive or do the partitioning. I have seen screenshots though where there is a third option on the same page to install ubuntu alongside a prior OS and dual boot.
Does anyone know why the "install alongside a prior OS (dual boot)" option doesn't show up?
I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Windows XP Media Centre Edition system.On the Step 4 of the installation which usually gives you the option to partition the disk but it only gives me the option to Erase the entire disk or specify partition manually, although this also doesn't allow anything other than totally erasing the disk. I'd ideally like to keep my Windows and I have installed Ubuntu before (but 9.10) on a different system.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a extra OS listed in my grub menu. I'm dual booting Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. I am able to boot into both Ubuntu and Windows. 30_os-prober has two menu entries for Windows though. The first one is Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1) and the second is Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda2). My laptop came with Windows 7 and had 4 primary partitions (System, Windows, Recovery, HP_TOOLS). After making my recovery disks I removed the Recovery partition and shrunk the Windows partition to make space for Ubuntu. So Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1) is the System partition which I select to boot Windows. Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda2) is where my Windows 7 is installed.

I am coming from the Fedora world where everything is on one DVD and you just install it. I tried to install Kubuntu 11.04 using LVM, and I selected manual partitioning setup during the install, but there is no option for setting up LVM. Am I using the wrong version, i.e. it only works with the server edition? I saw somewhere that it may magically become available in expert mode...Is that true? Somewhere else it recommends using the alternate CD?Also, maybe I am attacking this the wrong way. I want to set up a server with KDE, so what is the best method:1) Install plain ubuntu, then add KDE + any server programs.2) Install Kubuntu, then add any server programs.

Is there something wrong with this image on the website or is the error about 1 file being unreadable (could that also mean missing?) be erroneous?
I downloaded from [URL] files FC-6-i386-disc1.iso through FC-6-i386-disc5.iso from windows vista with get right. I checked the files with sha1sum.exe and the numbers are correct. I burned the cd's with roxio creator de. Then I go to the other computer and start the installation and at the beginning there is an option to test the cd's before installation proceeds. All cd's tests fail. So I would like to be sure: Have I been buying bad cd's? Note: I have tried 15 cd's, all failed.

I was wondering to restore on old laptop to working order. This laptop is an old early 2000's Sony Viao, which I found in the trash. Still powers on, and can boot the latest Ubuntu LiveCD. The issue is that it did not have a harddrive in it, and I really do not want to shell out money for a drive for a laptop this old, but would still like to bring it back into service as a thin client or general purpose web/email terminal. The BIOS does NOT have a USB boot option, and every tutorial I have seen requires that in order to boot Ubuntu from a USB stick (which is what I do have). What I am wondering is, is there any way to just keep the LiveCD in the drive and use that to boot the kernel, etc, and then have it look for the rest of the filesystem on the USB stick?
