Installation :: Dual Boot Mint On External HDD

Apr 19, 2010

I'm new to the world of Linux, but am intrigued by the variety and functionality it offers over Windows. I have an external HDD from which I would like to dual boot Linux Mint, with Windows Vista (64 Bit) remaining on the primary internal HDD. I know that my BIOS supports dual booting and booting from USB devices (my external HDD). Are there any specific dangers I need to be aware of? Is it as simple as putting in the installation disc and selecting my external HDD?

Ubuntu Installation :: Remove UNR From Dual Boot WIN XP EEE PC

Oct 14, 2010

I recently did a package upgrade on my UNR installation and it killed my wireless connection. After playing around non stop trying to get it to work again, I've destroyed the installation and would like to remove it and start again.

My system is a EEE PC 1005H running firstly WINXP and then UNR 10.04 lucid as dual boot.

I need to remove the UNR installation so I'm basically left with WinXP only. I want to get back to this stage so I can pretty much start again and get back to a working system.

Ubuntu Installation :: Get Rid Of Dual Boot \ Want To Remove 10.10?

Jan 15, 2011

I currently have 10.10 and 10.04 installed and dual booted. I want to remove 10.10. Looking at the drive partitioning the 10.10 is the one with the boot flag. I also am worried about just formatting it and loosing the bootloader. Don't care about joing the partitions or anything just would like to remove 10.10. Not sure about the correct way to go about removing 10.10 and not wiping grub out completely.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded 9.04 To 9.10 Now How To Remove 9.04 And Dual-boot

Jan 16, 2010

I have both 9.04 & 9.10 installed & running with a dual-boot...now I want to remove 9.04 and go to a single-boot of 9.10...how do I do this? I want to reclaim my disk space from the old OS as well...to make matters alittle messier, 9.10 was installed first...then after encountering trouble I installed 9.04 to see if it solved my problem...when I figured out how to solve problem it worked same on both releases...so I now want to remove 9.04 and stay with 9.10...but I don't want the uninstall of 9.04 to impact the 9.10 install...I would also like to adjust the partitions so that I can use all of the disk for 9.10 (including that which was used for 9.04 and it's swap file)..

Ubuntu Installation :: Want To Remove XP Dual-boot - But Cant Find It?

Jul 6, 2010

I have a dual boot setup where I get the option @ boot to choose either XP or Ubuntu. If I choose XP, it crashes before it loads and restarts the computer - oh how happy I am that I've moved over to Linux!

Now - I dont care about this, as I actually want to remove the XP installation.I have tried to find the XP drive system location through Ubuntu but it's not showing up anywhere...yet XP is still showing as an option on boot?

Does anyone know where my XP install might be lurking? Is there a way to ignore XP and get the PC to automatically select Ubuntu for me?

Ubuntu Installation :: How Do I Remove From Dual Boot System

Mar 7, 2011

I had windows 7 starter, then repartitioned the HDD and installed Ubuntu netbook remix the partitions are in this order Ubuntu -> System -> Data partition -> Windows 7.I'm having some nagging problems with remix and want to try something else.Can I just destroy the Ubuntu partition or will it stop windows from booting up? I know Windows was there first, but the computer has been booting from the /boot/grub/grub.cfg menu, so when this is gone will it automatically check the windows partition for a boot.ini or whatever?

Ubuntu Installation :: Remove Second Unwanted Installation Of 10.04 On Dual Boot (2 Hdd) XP?

Oct 5, 2010

Ive managed to get myself in a bit of a hole through fears of destroying my WinXP on a new dual boot installation. I�ve been using Ubuntu (10.04 lts) alone on an old machine which died, so I thought I�d just move the hdd to my main machine & dual boot it with XP.

I booted from the 10.04 lts CD to set this up, I let it do as it suggested & assumed it would see the existing Ubuntu installation & modify it to dual boot with Win XP. Which it did except I now have two instances of 10.04 on the second hdd as it added a second partition for the new. Leaving the already installed 10.04 alone. I saw no options other than the advanced partitioning which I did not look at.

How please can I correct this & go back to having just one instance of 10.04 on the Ubuntu disk to dual boot to � I am sure there must be an easy way. I have nothing on the Ubuntu disk I need to preserve. I know nothing about Linux command line.

Ubuntu Installation :: Cleanly Remove XP From Dual Boot Laptop?

Feb 1, 2010

I recently bought a refurbished HP Compaq NC6000 which had a new installation of Win XP put on it but takes about 5 attempts to boot up as it just sat at the load screen and freezes. So I decided to install Ubuntu 9.10 as a Dual boot with the view to getting rid of XP once I had Ubuntu up and running, which I have now. So cant understand why XP wouldn't work lol. Now I would like to fully get rid of XP and just have Ubuntu as the only OS on the laptop. Currently as it is Dual Boot I have my 80gig Hard drive partitioned with both OS�s on it.

Could someone point me in the right direction of how to get rid of XP cleanly so I just have Ubuntu left on my machine. I don�t really want to re-install Ubuntu as I have spent the last week getting it set up, so would it be possible just to get rid of XP? Also would getting rid of XP mess up the Grub Boot loader menu?

Ubuntu Installation :: Remove Windows From Dual-boot System?

May 12, 2010

The thing is, i'm getting thin on hd space so i have to remove it. I have read that i could just format linux partition and than boot with windows cd and fix motherboard, but i do not have windows cd on me. Can i use another tool, that would allow me to fix the "damage" grub did? Acronis or something like that?

To avoid to complicated answers, just give me a solution that works without criptic linux commands, i get lost in that.

Also, i am actually a supporter of open source and free software, but i also think that linux is nowhere near being easy to use for the general population, no matter the microsofts conditioning. So i guess ill give it a go at 11.00 again to see whats going on

Ubuntu Networking :: Accessing Files In Dual Boot( 10.04 And Mint)?

Nov 12, 2010

I have a dual boot ( Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint), but I spend most of my time in the Ubuntu 10.04 partition. The point is that I have a huge files in the Mint compartment and I would like to gain access to those files from my Ubuntu 10.04 partition. I have tried samba and could not get the file sharing system to work. I had used samba when I was dual booting between Ubuntu and Windows and it worked but not in my present Linux dual boot.

General :: Uninstall Mint 9 From Dual Boot Machine?

Jun 28, 2010

Recently, my Mint update informed me it had an upgraded kernel version of Mint 9 and asked did I want to upgrade. Me, not being an old hand at things Linux, upgraded. Instead of overwriting the older version, it put the upgraded version of Mint 9 BESIDE the older one. So now I have, actually, 4 versions of Mint 9 on my PC,(generic plus recovery mode for each) which is dual booted with Vista Home Premium.

I don't want this. I have had weird problems and hiccups since I upgraded. I want to get rid of the newer kernel version and use only the older one. How do I uninstall the upgraded version of Mint 9? I have tried to boot into the older version, but there is no desktop and I have to type on the boot screen and in the terminal. It wants commands I don't know how to give. How do I restore my older version of Mint 9?

I just want one version on my PC in the dual boot with Windows Vista. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this? If you give me terminal commands, please make sure they are copy and paste ready. lol.

If uninstalling involves deleting partitions and doing a manual partitioning and formatting, I'll need easy instructions for that also.

Fedora Installation :: Dual Boot With Vista - Remove One Of Them To Save Disk Space

Jan 15, 2009

I installed the live CD version of fedora (dual boot with vista) on my laptop. After I connected to the internet the updates downloaded and all went well. however when i restarted at the boot screen I found two instances of fedora such as

Fedora(2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686)
Fedora(2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
Other

The "other" is vista. I am wondering if this is OK or whether I have two fedora. If so i would like to remove one of them to save disk space.

General :: Installing Mint On An HP Laptop With Windows 7 For A Dual Boot?

Mar 9, 2010

I got to the part where I'm supposed to partition Mint. I've got a 500GB hard drive, and I thought I'd give 300GB to LM--but I'm unclear about using ext2, 3 or 4. What about the swap file? Is that automatic?

General :: Can I Uninstall Another System Distro Directly Over Mint On Dual Boot

Feb 18, 2010

I think the title says it all really - I've installed Mint onto a Acer aspire 5315 laptop. Its a dual boot system using Vista Basic. Grub works perfectly and to be honest Mint is great. really enjoying playing and learning. My problem is that the laptop overheats when using Mint - the cpu fan doesn't cut in and the laptop shuts down to protect the system. According to a swift google this seems to occur with mint (possibly particularly with Acer's) and maybe with other distro's too. However I'd like to keep trying to see if i can find one that works.

So my rather obvious newbie question is can I just get another distro dvd and install this onto the partition containing mint thus deleting the previous install? If I did this would Grub show the new distro ok or would it keep searching for Mint. I have a back up so if all else fails I can reinstall everything but that will have to wait till I get home

Ubuntu :: Remove Dual Boot ?

Mar 27, 2010

Prior to installing ubuntu I had an installation of Vista Ultimate on my computer. I kept that OS and installed ubuntu on a clean second hard drive. The Vista installation included a small program called Vista Boot Pro which allowed me to dual boot to either vista or the empty hard drive. Since installing ubuntu I now have many options when booting including ubuntu and Vista. Ubuntu added a series of other options that were not present originally. Is there a way to uninstall the dual boot option from ubuntu and just use the vista dual boot program (VistaBootPro)?

Ubuntu :: Dual Boot - Actually Add/remove Programs ?

Sep 29, 2010

So a few years ago I had a guy build me a computer that solely run off Ubuntu. Was a gift to me dad and all was well...my dad just gave me the computer and there are too many problems and I am not exactly good with this kind of work.

I really just want to completely uninstall Linux so I can get windows xp on this laptop. I don't even know where to start, any ideas?

Unless of course someone can give me a crash course on how to fix me being able to download updates so that I can actually add/remove programs, get my DVD to read DVDs and many many more ridiculous things...

General :: Remove A Dual Boot Partition?

Jul 27, 2011

I know this is a familiar looking question, but please hear me out.

I want to dual boot Fedora 15 with Ubuntu 11.04 (to try out GNOME Shell whilst not breaking Unity, which I quite like). As it's mostly to just to try out, I'll probably want to remove Fedora and go back to just Ubuntu, so I wan to ask how to remove the Fedora partition without doing any damage, and how to remove it from the GRUB menu at boot.
