Ubuntu Installation :: When Installing On Previously Windows System

Jul 5, 2010

I have a HP laptop that I have had Windows Vista on for about two years. I am soon going to switch it over to Ubuntu. My question is can you safely use the Ubuntu installation process to delete the Windows partition along with all the programs and files it stores on the hard drive or should you first uninstall Windows manually and then, with a essentially blank computer, install Ubuntu?

General :: Installing Windows Operating System Along With Mint?

May 18, 2011

I wished to know if I can install windows 7 on my system when I am already running Linux Mint 10(as the only operating system on my machine). That configuration is called a dual boot. If you install Win7 first (or it is already present), THEN install linux, you will find that grub notices both and you will not need to mess with the MBR. The better solution is to load mint, add VirtualBox, and install Win7 into a virtual machine. Then you get to run Linux and Windows AT THE SAME TIME!

General :: Installing Ubuntu 10.10 On A Windows 7 System (Dual Booting) With Radeon X300/X550/X1?

Oct 29, 2010

just like most Linux distributions, will happily co-exist on a hard disk with just about any version of Windows. This is a concept known as dual-booting. Essentially, when you power up your PC you will be presented with a menu which provides the option to boot either Ubuntu Linux or Windows. Obviously you can only run one operating system at a time, but it is worth noting that the files on the Windows partition of your disk drive will be available to you from Ubuntu Linux regardless of whether your windows partition was formatted using NTFS. To day I have installed Latest Windows 7 and Latest Ubuntu 10.10 on my office system (Dual booting). This two operating system which I installed in HP dx 7200 micro towers.

System Information
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7201) (7201.winmain_win7ids.090601-1516)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
System Model: HP Compaq dx7200 Microtower
BIOS: Default System BIOS

General :: Installing Ubuntu From A Flashdrive Alongside - Ngside Windows - Error Message - No Root File System Is Defined

Jul 8, 2011

I can use Ubuntu from my flash drive, but I want to install it in a partition alongside windows. When I try to do this, I come to an 'allocate drive space' window, but whatever I do I get the error message: 'No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.' I just don't know what this means, or what to do next. I'm loathe to ditch windows, and I don't want to have to use a flashdrive all the time.

Ubuntu :: Installing 10.04 On Windows 7 (64-bit) Using Its Vir?

Jun 20, 2011

It was said that Win 7's Virtual PC is not suitable for installing Ubuntu 10.04 Is there any method at all that it will work? The following is the scenario I ran into: The first time Ubuntu 10.04 installation CD-R boots up, it asked for the Language, and "Install Ubuntu" and then the screen has vertical green bars and then the VPC just closed. The 2nd or 3rd time it booted up, there is no asking of Language or "Install Ubuntu" and just shut down the VPC, sometimes with vertical green bars. I even created another new hard drive and same thing happened. And created VPC 02, and same thing happened. Created VPC 03 with a fixed hard drive size of 60GB and same thing happened.

Ubuntu Installation :: Take Windows XP Out After Installing?

Mar 1, 2010

When I bought my computer from a friend, he told me that it had 60Gbs in it. Well, when I began to install Ubuntu Linx 9.10 I came to the point of decission of whether or not to delete Windows XP or run Ubuntu 9.10 along with Windows XP. I had a decision to make and I honestly thought I had enough free space to run both. I kept on having problems bringing up Ubuntu. It would go so far and then it would freeze. Well I updated GNOME and I was able to login and try a few things. I of course downloaded and installed the program that I needed to run the program that was running my online radio station. I also downloaded a scanner for to check virusus. I then tried to download some other softwear but I deleted them and kept the scanner and the other program that plays my radio station. Since I did that I logged out and shut down the computer. I haven't been able to get to the point to where I can login again. It freezes. How can I add more memory of free space to run Ubutu. If there is no way of doing that how can I delete Ubuntu and start all over again so that I can again install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and take off Windows XP so I can run Ubuntu. I really do like the Ubuntu's system. It is so very quick bringing up websites. I have a 32bit download on the CD. I found out the computer was only 16Gbs.

I have an Acer laptop, on which a I have Ubuntu installed with no disk partitioning. I may need to install Windows 7 on this machine but have no desire to stop using Ubuntu for normal use.

Ubuntu :: Installing 10.04 And Higher With Windows 7

Sep 20, 2010

i currently use a toshiba A200 with 2.0 core duo processor, and an I 945 chipset. since the laptop is quite old now, i am planning to buy another toshiba. since i want an ultraportable, i have narrowed down on the nice satellite T235 or the much acclaimed portege R700. now these laptops are being shipped with windows 7 OS. installed a dual boot option of 10.04 in any of these computers ? i had tried quite some time ago to do a dual boot in a compaq. however, there was some problem with the boot loader and i although ubuntu installed nicely, i was simply unable to get the system to boot up ! so is there a compatibility issue with 10.04 and later versions on the one hand and and windown 7 on the other ?

Ubuntu :: Can't Recover After Installing Windows

Sep 29, 2010

I have two drives in my system with Windows7 installed on the first one (sda) and Ubuntu installed on the second one (sdb). I had to reinstall Windows and now I of course can't access Ubuntu since the MBR was overwritten by the Windows installer.

I followed the LiveCD recovery method described at [url] And it didn't work. When I rebooted after doing a grub-install on sda, I was simply given a Grub command line with no menu or anything. grub-install said it completed successfully and had no errors. What exactly do I need to do to get Grub set up correctly so I can access both OSes?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Boot Into Windows 7 After Installing 10.10

Mar 20, 2011

I had 2 separate partitions on my computer: one for Windows 7, one without a system on it. On the 2nd of the described partition at the end of it I installed Debian Linux. (After that I had 3 usable / visible partitions.) I was looking for less hassle with drivers so I decided to install Ubuntu and make greater the partition for Linux. In a forum I saw an article describing how to uninstall (remove) Debian. Roughly it described the process as follows:Delete Debian partition from Windows. Restart and in repair mode enter "repairmbr".

I did the first step. After the restart, the grub seemed to be damaged and it wouldn't show any options. Started the Ubuntu LiveCD, made the "Linux" partition greater, moved it to the beginning of the original of the to large partitions, transformed it to an extended partition, created the swap area in the beginning of it and installed Ubuntu 10.10. All went well, a new grub was created, Windows loader was detected, but didn't work. Same after upgraded to a newer version of Linux generic kernel. The installation process detected the Windows 7 but after restart it does not work. When trying to enter it, for about 1..2 seconds the screen turns black and again the same Grub menu is shown. So the problem is that I cannot boot into Windows 7, I had pre-installed it so I don't have a disk for it. Recovery disks I made seems to be for re-installation only which is not an option at this time. All repair modes where accessible when starting Windows; any of them is not accessible.

Both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 are 64-bit systems.
