View 7 RepliesI have Win XP installed on one hard disk drive (HDD1) and Ubuntu 9.10 installed on another hard disk drive (HDD2). Win XP was installed first then Unbuntu 9.10 which set up a dual boot menu. Win XP will no longer boot because I changed the BIOS setting from IDE to AHCI. The problem this causes is described at [URL]. The problem is that if you installed Windows in IDE mode (ie you didn't use F6 and supply a driver disk), then simply changing the BIOS setting to AHCI mode and rebooting will cause Windows to fail and will require a repair install. Most people have been advising to reinstall Windows if you want AHCI enabled. I have read that Win 7 supports AHCI "out of the box" so instead of re-installing Win XP I want to install Win 7 to replace it. I would like to know in advance what installing Win 7 will do to the dual boot menu?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and previously had a separate partition with another distro on it. I decided to delete the other distro's home and swap partitions and install XP in place of it. I've been following these instructions: [URL] and [URL] I have gotten to the point where I am booting to the XP CD and want to install it, but I get the message, "Setup did not find any hard disks installed on your computer" when I should be getting to the screen that asks me to select a partition to install XP on. This is what my HDD looks like in GParted:
I want to install XP in the unallocated partition, but I have a feeling I screwed up somewhere along the way and probably don't fully understand the whole thing. Even if I try to format the unallocated partition to NTFS I can't make it a primary partition (I assume because it's within sda2). The very last thing I want to do is delete my Ubuntu partition and start from scratch, but if that's my last option let me know.
I have a server set up with Ubuntu Karmic. I am making it a printer server, and my printer is compatible with Ubuntu. (I tested it on my laptop, also using ubuntu) My problem is, the driver installer is graphical and my server is not.

So far, everyone I've read says to have xserver,xorg,fluxbox(or other gui), etc. I just want to run the installer through SSH, and I know about the -X tag.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been all afternoon trying to install Ubuntu Lucid on my fakeRAID 0 configured (2) HDDs and am unable to set GRUB up. The fake RAID setup is provided by Intel Matrix Storage Manager, it is correctly enabled and the BIOS is also correctly set up -- in fact, I've managed to install Windows 7 with no significant hitch. After struggling with partioning the drives (had to follow advice I found on a very helpful guide online [0]), creating the filesystems AND getting Ubuntu's installer to actually do what it is supposed to do, I now cannot seem to set GRUB up. My system, as it stands, is unbootable at all; via live CD only.

They were controlled by BIOS for start-up without problem.Just wiped out Fedora and installed Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. During installing GRUB I saved it on Master, IIRC.Now Ubuntu and Vista startup are controlled by boot loader. I have to start Ubuntu first and on kernel selection select (loader)(on/dev/sdb1).Then Vista starts.It works.How can I restore to its original setup?Their booting is controlled by BIOS.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to install multiple operating systems on a disk setup with LVM. I am uncertain as to how to go about this.I read somewhere that you can do it, but that only one /boot partition should used for all systems(they are all linux).get going on this? Do I boot from an installation disk and follow that path some how...or is there some other method I should be following? And how do I use one boot partition for all OS's? I had a problem with this once before..so need to ask, especially with the LVM thrown in the mix.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow can I set up an encrypted LVM without using the "Guided - Use entire disk" option of the alternate installer.
My drive is quite big and I would like to be able to have my encrypted LVM as well as an extra LUKS encrypted partition which I could mount whenever needed. Unfortunately the options in the alternate installer do not allow me to do this without using up the entire disk.
I am a newbee and am not too sure, but anyway, here it goes. What would you recommend as a partition setup for a laptop with 1gb ram and 160gb hdd? Please note, the setup needs to be able to keep all documents, settings and programs on updates and whatnot.

I recently set up an old desktop computer on my home network for use as a file server. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server on it and I'm slowly learning how to make it do what I want (I'm used to the GUI, so this is a bit of a jump for me).My plans are to put two 1.5TB hard drives in the computer (there's already a 160GB with the OS installed) and put them in a RAID1 configuration. This, as I understand it, will write all data to both drives, creating two identical drives. I'll only have 1.5TB total space for backup, but if one of the hard drives die, I can replace it without losing any data.
Hopefully I understand all that correctly. Now, my questions are how to actually set a RAID configuration up. I don't have a controller or anything, assuming I could do it off the two SATA ports in the motherboard (the 160GB is IDE) in software RAID.Once I have the two hard drives set up in RAID1, how do I allow the house to access the file storage?We're all on Windows 7 computers.If one of the hard drives fail, how will I know? Can I set it up so I receive some sort of notification? Also, how does the replacement process work; can I just pop the broken drive out and put a similar one in? Do I need to readjust any settings after replacing one?
I bought the new harddisk so was doing a fresh install of ubuntu (Already installed win7)
But ubuntu setup is not detecting the partitions correctly it is showing 4 partitions but I have 5 (and +1 which is created by win7 of 100mb for system usage)
Setup is showing total 4 partitions and clubing all the partitions together and showing as 785gb and one partition is not detected at all and the other 3 partitions only one is correct 100mb win7 system usage partition.
I have 4 partitions ntfs and 1 partitions exFat, I had created exFat hoping ubuntu setup will detect it as different partition but that is not shown in partitions selection menu.
I will preface this post by saying I am completely new to any flavor of Linux and even in Windows. I don't do much in the command line so I am very much at the steep part of the learning curve. I have Ubuntu Server 10.10 installed on a vm using VirtualBox. I installed the Server GUI, Apache and MySql using the command line. Now I want to be able to use a GUI for MySQL so it should be an easier transition coming from MS SQL. I downloaded MySQL Workbench which sounded like the add on I wanted. I have the .deb file on a CD. Now I have no idea how to put it all together.

I can't edit the partitions in the install setup: I see a hard disk (sda) with no partitions or user devices, and 2 RAID devices.The behavior of OpenSuse 11.2 x64 installation is much alike.I have googled with every keyword combination I remembered, but I can't find anything that gives me a clue to what may be happening.I have already tried the 3 SATA configurations (the IDE that works with the installed Win 7, AHCI and RAID), but the result is always the same. Now the strangest thing is that in OpenSuse, fdisk and parted correctly identify the partitions. As far as I remember, parted isn't able to do modifications and fdisk says that the boundaries of the first, tiny partition, doesn't match the number of cylinders (or something like it). However, I was able create a partition with fdisk on the empty space and format it, delete it again and repeat the process a couple of times with no errors. The partituions are signed as msdos.
GParted from Ubuntu also shows the partitions, but I didn't try to do any modifications, namely because I don't think that it can solve my problem and I don't want to risk installing windows again.The hardware is brand new, a Asus M4A785Td-V Evo with an Amd Phenom II X4 965 and a WDC-WD5000ACCS-0 500 Gb HD. My lazyness made me asking the guys from whom I bought it to install Win7 Ultimate 64 in a NTFS partition, leaving half the disk untouched. They assure me that it is a "plain vanilla" ("next, next, next" installation . I guess I could try to see if I could do the partition setup in the "RAID" part of the Expert partitioner, but I have strong doubts that it solves the problem and it would be quite boring to conclude that I ruined the windows installation for nothing.Could it be any awkward problem specific of the motherboard / SATA controller or its drivers?
