how I can boot directly from a 2GB USB drive, instead of having to modify grub etc. Is there something in Debian that is equivalent to the Universal USB Installer in Ubuntu?
I bought this netbook yesterday & thought of installing ubuntu netbook 10.10 on it.
I booted with windows & started the install using WUBI.
The wubi setup was started but then after copying files it told that some error occurred.
I though that I will deal with it later and left the wubi installed.
Now, when I rebooted after sometime, I am thrown to the code...
My netbook also has Hyperspace installed that comes with netbook. I provided that in case it is caused because of that.
Now what do I do? I didnt do anything wrong and still ubuntu messed up my system
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'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 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'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.
Generally I am used to installations of dual boot on different partitions(the traditional method) any windows OS with any ubuntu OS.I tried that with backtrack 4 and Ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition! I had previously installed ubuntu 10.04 and then had an extra partition that had data in it.Went ahead to boot with the backtrack 4 disk BUT it did not give me an option for installing them side-by side so i did it manually by editing the partition with the partitioner! I had 2 swamp spaces one i which was initially there for Ubuntu and the other i created! Then simply formated ine partition with EXT3 and mountpoint of / which made two of them!after installation, the grub shows that there is another OS but when it does not load!

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:

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 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.

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 just purchased the Samsung N150 net-book. The reason for purchasing was so I could watch movies, listen to music and browse on the go. It came with windows 7 starter and a load of pre installed Samsung crap. I was wondering whether Ubuntu would be a better choice for me since I only really want, Chrome, VLC, Spotify, MSN and Dev++ compiler.
I am very computer literate doing programming at Uni, but have not used Linux before. Also there's loads of Samsung software for extending battery life or something. Will I be able to install that on Ubuntu or not?
would like a word if it just simply doesn't work on a Samsung netbook? I tried both the netbook and desktop ubuntu using the provided ISO burner to boot in USB. Set the USB to be read first but it's just only a blank black screen. I've tried re-downloading and re-burning the ISO.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to dual boot ubuntu netbook edition along with xp but i get stuck at setting up the partitions. at the installation i have the option of installing alongside xp however when they show the graph it looks like they want me to share ubuntu on C:/ drive so that xp gets 60Gb and ubuntu gets 20Gb. What i would like to do is keep xp on the C:/ drive and install ubuntu on the D:/ drive so that windows and ubuntu each get 80GB.
What i have done so far is go into gparted and delete the D:/ drive so i have now 80Gb of unallocated space. however when i start the installation process and choose "install alongside other OS" it still chooses to share it with my C:/ drive. i would like to be walked through the process of splitting the hard drive so i can install ubuntu on D drive. also i know i need to create a swap partition do i do that before the installation of after?
I've recently bought the Samsung N110 netbook - it comes pre-installed with Windows XP, but I've decided to run Linux on it.
The decision is this - remove Windows XP and have Linux as the sole OS, or keep Windows XP and use dual booting?
I will mainly be needing this for working at school, or general internet use when I don't have access to my desktop at home. Therefore, I think it's unlikely that I'll need highly specialist software that can only run on Windows. Also, Windows takes up a fair amount of space - could dual booting slow the netbook down?
Having been pestered by the local nerds and read up on a lot of the material on the web, I'm pretty convinced that Linux is a good choice for me on this netbook. That said, I may well run a trial anyway before I switch. So, is there any reason to keep Windows XP or should I ditch the pre-installed OS and go with Linux all the way?
I am going to be dual booting with Windows XP on my new netbook. I know that I will be required to re-install XP before I will have to reinstall Linux.
My question is about the /boot partition option. If I was to create a /boot partition, would that prevent Windows from erasing Grub when I reinstall Windows? I have been Googling and I can't find an answer so I figure it won't work but I better ask as it would make life a whole lot easier.

I've just received my new Samsung N250 Plus Netbook which comes with Windows 7 Starter (yuk). I read a post on Ebuyer from someone who has installed ubuntu on his N250 so thought I'd give it a go tonight.
My main concern is whether my wi-fi card (Broadcom 802.11n according to windows) will work when I remove windows and install ubuntu. I intend to use the netbook for internet use only while working abroad.
Is it possible to test it works by running ubuntu from my USB stick first (without removing windows 7)?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am quite experienced user of Ubuntu desktop / server distributions. Recently my desktop 9.10 disk failed and I decided to reinstall using 10.04. My configuration is a dual disk dual bot system. I have XP Pro SP3 on one disk and Ubuntu 10.04 on second. XP has own, untached MBR ubuntu got Grub 2 installed on the same disk as Ubuntu. Ubuntu disk is booting first in BIOS. Grub 2 detected both system, however I can boot only to Ubuntu. When I am trying to boot XP I got black screen only. Looks like booting is stack in BIOS stage, because crt+alt+del reset system.
I read Ubuntu forum, search Google and did not come with any solutions. My XP MBR is OK. I can boot directly, choosing XP HDD in BIOS as a starting disk. All entries in grub.cfg looks fine to me. I made 3 different clear installations of Ubuntu. Each with the same result. I reinstaled Grub2 with no effect. I wonder if this may be a hardware/Grub 2 compatibility issue. I am using quite old components.My motherboard is Assus P4C800 Delux. I have 5 HDDs 2 CD. Exactly the same configuration was OK with 9.10/XP dual disk dual boot using Grub legacy.

I have been using with dual boot on my netbook. All has been well until I went through the upgrade process from 9.10 to 10.04. After going through the process the netbook restarted went past the splash screen and displayed the message error: no such device:a0c6fc38-13ae-4af3-8fde-0a7e16bb6637 grub rescue>
I cant even go through the recovery options on the splash screen it just reverts to the above message.

I was playing an online game and my netbook, previously running XP, somehow got a virus. The next morning when I turned on my netbook, the screen showed the normal Toshiba BIOS screen, and then went black, only showing a blinking white cursor in the top left corner of the screen.
Right now I'm on my netbook running on a thumb with 10.10 on it. When I try to install 10.10, after rebooting (and setting the BIOS settings back to the hard drive instead of the thumb), the screen goes black like before. If I boot from the thumb drive though and instead of installing, I select the "try ubuntu" option, I'm able to run my netbook as I am now. In the top left corner I have the "install ubuntu-netbook 10.10" option available.
I ran the boot info script and here's what I've got:

I just downloaded Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 and created a boot usb stick.
My netbook runs ok from the stick (i.e. "Live CD" mode) and all seemed OK, so I went for an installation.
The install process appeared to complete ok, but when I restart the machine without the usb stick nothing happens - after inputting my power-on password, nothing at all: no disk activity or anything, just blank screen.
The netbook is an Acer Aspire One, the solid-state disk version, no hard-disk (110Ab ZG5)
I previously had the EasyPeasy implementation of Ubuntu NBR 10.04 running without problem (and NBR Karmic before that)
How do I begin to trouble-shoot this?
