Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Install 10.04.1 Lts On Windows 7 X64 Bit?
Sep 16, 2010
1. I have an ubuntu 10.04.1 lts installation iso image...2. I burned it to a cd and restarted my computer..3. When i reached to the partitions menua. There was not "install side by side" option.b. 70 gb of windows 7 part (which is OK)and a 249 Gb of free space were shown in-spite i have this space partition in 2 drives of 100 and 149 gb in windows.4. I wanted to install ubuntu in my F: drive (of 149 gb) but there was no method due to the above reason.What should i do? should i download it once again.I dont want to install with WUBI as someone told me it is not good because it slows down the computer(Is it so?)..

i tried installing windows 7 on a partition on my laptop but i'm getting this message:"setup was unable to create a new partition or locate an existing system partition "i tried googling and found that it has something to do with the number of partitions:my hard disk layout right now:
I cannot install Kubuntu (or Unbuntu) 10.4 on my husband's computer. I have spent 5 hours on this and cannot get anywhere. I am deeply frustrated. The iso I burned to CD is good (works on 2 other computers). His computer will not boot from USB, no matter what I do to the drive order in BIOS. After loading the blue screen with the Kubuntu logo on it (and the blue-white dots), the screen changes to black and shows the following text:
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash) (initrafs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.
He really needs to get rid of WinXP. Kubuntu is what I have on my computer (and love it!). Here is some info about his computer:
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600 OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation
I recently installed ubuntu on my netbook (asus eee PC). The problem is, when I restarted the computer and got to the overview on what to boot and chose Windows 2000/xp/vista etc etc sda1, I am not able to boot into windows. There is just a blinking underline _ <- like that in the top left corner. And nothing happens. I cannot risk to lose my files that are on the windows partition. What can I do?
I have installed wine on my Ubuntu 10.10I need to install Dreamweaver 4 (original) from the CD.Whne I run the command to Use wine Installer, I get the error:The file '/media/3284D29084D25647/soft/dreamweaverextn/Macromedia Dreamweaver /Dreamweaver.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.
I had the Rad hat enterprise installed on to the computer which already had XP using a dual boot system. When I saw that red hat needs an activation, I had to remove it from the computer, but was not aware of how to uninstall and OS. So, I went to the XP OS and selected the hard disk space where Red hat was installed and once after that deleted it.
The problem now is that, when I restarted the computer, I get only a black window with a message as Grub in it, Now I am not even able to get to my Windows OS also. Note: while installation, one of the option as Kdump boot failure recovery was checked as I remember.
I was able to log in to Windows 7 till yesterday.. Don know what happened now i am not able to login to windows 7 itself.. It directly login to Ubuntu..

I keep getting an error when trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on Windows 7. I insert the cd and then restart the computer. Everything looks like its loading great, but it gets stuck on the loading screen. So I pressed Esc, and it shows the following errors:
(process: 314): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_(r): failed due to unknown user id (0) /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sdb: No medium found /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sdb: No medium found /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sdb: No medium found
[code]...
I have also tried the check disc for defects options, but that also gets stuck on the loading screen. What am I missing?
I have installed windows xp (service pack 2) on my pc. later i formatted a partition (drive E and installed ubuntu linux 8.04. I have provided 2gb space for SWAP partition and remaining for root (/). I have done this manually. Installation was completed, and ubuntu asked me to reboot the system. I did so.
Now comes my problem.......I am getting some DHCP connection or some thing weird.......after that i am getting a message ......and with a message asking me to press any key.....the same thing is coming even after restarting the system....i am unable to see both windows and linux now!
I'm running ubuntu for the first time. I have it install in Windows xp and boot it up after restarting the com. But I'm unable to boot up ubuntu. I can however go into the recovery failsafe mode. How should I debug the errors?
installed ubuntu on preinstalled windows7 hp notebookpc windows7 not booted. so i just use windows recovery cd and use some bootrec fixmbr commands 4 now i am unable to use both.
I was using Windows XP before. I installed Ubuntu some weeks back and removed Windows completely. Now I want to completely remove Ubuntu and install Windows XP back. But the Windows XP bootable CD won't boot. I DON'T get a screen saying, "Press any key to boot from CD.. I've changed my boot sequence under BIOS settings to CD first and then HDD. Still every time I restart with the CD, it loads Ubuntu.
I "USED" to have a dual booting pc...with Windows 7 & ubuntu 10.04.(NOT Wubi) 2 Days back my windows 7 crashed...so i had to reinstall windows 7. But after reinstallation there was no option to boot into ubuntu 10.04. My system automatically boots into windows 7. I need to fix my ubuntu installation so that i get an option to select which OS to boot...at the startup.
I am new to Ubuntu. I recently upgraded my Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.4 (64bit) since then I am unable to dual boot to WIN2K3 from the same HDD as my Ubuntu. I have ran some of the suggestions like: Sudo update grub and Testdisk both did not provide any errors on my partitions and my primary partition displayed in Testdisk was WIN2K3, now when I reboot and select it from the boot menu it just simply show a blinking cursor.
I am out of ideas and I need a solution to suit my configuration. I prefer not to re-install or repair any WIN2K3 OS. Can someone assist and let me know what you need from me to further understand my issue.
I just installed ubuntu via the windows installer. When I try to boot it, it comes up a cmd line and gives me some choices of boot/grub... and boot/disk/... they all lead back to the cmd line except the boot/disk option which leads to a message saying that it cant find the disk...
I have two separate hard disks, one having ubuntu 10.04 and one having Windows XP. I'm unable to get an option to choose from grub menu as to which operating system i want to boot into.
I have just installed Ubuntu, now when logging into my laptop i am able to sucsessfully load ubuntu but i am unable to load the original OS (windows 7).
The grub 1.9 bootloader gives me the option
When selecting this option it goes to a black screen with a - in the top left of the screen then the grub screen re-appears
I had windows 7 on my computer on drive D,then I installed opensuse 11.2 on space of drive C. But when I restarted my computer,I couldn't see windows 7 bootloader on the list, all of the options related to opensuse.
Two days ago i turned on my pc and suddenly there was a message:"Minimal Bash-like line editing is supported.For the first word,TAB lists possible command completions.Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename.ESC any time exists...
When i googled this message it came out that this has got to do with linux (i have never used linux and i formated my disc once or twice since i bought it so i found it very strange that this problem is related to linux).Anyway,i found out that grub is the problem and that it isnt a big deal to solve it.I downloaded Ubuntu,booted it from the cd and followed the instructions...I typed in grub (in the terminal) and it told me to download it so i typed in "get-apt grub install" or something like that and it all went well,i was now in the grub directory.Then i typed " find /boot/grub/stage1" and it told me that the file was not found.
I have tried everything,i have downloaded the super rescue cd the fix the problem but i have still the same problem.
I am using Lenovo Laptop. Initially I had Dual boot with Windows Vista and RHEL 5. I deleted Vista Partition. If I try to install Vista using Vista Bootable DVD, The Vista Bootable DVD is not getting detected! Now I want to remove everything (RHEL 5 & Grub Boot loader) from my laptop and install fresh OS.
i have windows xp and federo installed on my system on seperate partition and using grub loader for dual boot. Unfortunately am unable to boot the windows and it hangs with the blue screen and with safe mode it stops at mup.sys and doesnt proceed further.I tried booting with a windows xp CD but it looks like it is unable to recognize the disk even if i say boot with a CD in BIOS settings. Does anybody knows how to make the CD recognizable so that i can go into the windows repair mode.
I upgraded from grub to grub2 recently, and during an update of my system, it ran the update-grub command which prompted a window asking me where to install Grub. Since I didn't know what partition to install it to and the help suggested to install it to all if I was unsure what partition to install it to - I accidentally installed Grub to my Windows partitions (both the regular and the recovery console).
So now, I can't boot into Windows - the computer just hangs after Grub with a blinking cursor and I have to perform a hard reset. Is there any way for me to restore the boot record for the windows partition without having to reinstall windows from the ground up?! I can't use Linux for my webbanking and other important tasks, so (unfortunately) I need Windows back desperately!
