    you said you were going to do a video about installing Linux from USB onto a duel boot Win 7 machine. Looked everywhere and cant find it. Links to other videos you refer to in your description would be helpful.

    I separated 15gb on SSD to install Ubuntu and such, working normal and beauty
    My question is: would these 15GB be just for installing Ubuntu or these 15 GB is for everything that installs on Ubuntu?

    You lost me when you said "because I'm doing everything inside a virtual machine..." There is no VM in the Windows Disk Management utility so I have no idea how you jumped to that. Also dual boot to fixed partitions is totally different from VM use. Apparently from the comments, this video helps other people and I'm glad - they obviously are far smarter than I am. Oh well, time to look for a "dual boot for dummies" video. Basically my situation is that I have a separate disk that I want to dual boot to Ubuntu. I already have that installed and working, bootable using the bios boot selection. But I want to somehow edit the windows bcd menu to add a boot selection to that disk. See no way to do that.

    Maybe you can make instructions on how to boot in iSCSI and how to propagate it for multiple users. Thanks!

    What if you ever want to un-install Linux (or Windows) and bring it back to a single-boot system? Is that possible without losing data or messing anything up?

      Format and deallocate the partition with linux, then add it to the windows partition

    I already have Ubuntu 20.10 installed on my other laptop computers. But would like to now install windows 7 also. Is this possible? I can't install windows first, as the computers won't let me do that. This computer i'm typing on at the moment, is a windows 7 computer. But the cd/dvd drive is damaged. So I can't make an installation disk. And so far, haven't been able to figure out how to make installation media on a flash drive.

    My Windows 10 Home - Dell laptop comes with Device Encryption. To access the bootable USB I need to disable Secure Boot and then am able to use Ubuntu using the "Try It" option (I also have to enable Legacy Boot).
    Once I'm done trying Ubuntu, the issue I have is that Windows keeps asking for the Recovery Key. The only way I can access Windows is by re-enabling Secure Boot.
    If I do install Ubuntu / Manjaro do I need to re-enable Secure Boot to access Windows 10. If I do so, will I face any issues in accessing Ubuntu and Windows the way it's shown here.
    Really need some guidance on this one before I install Ubuntu or Manjaro.

    I have an older laptop, so I don't have enough memory on my internal hard drive to store Ubuntu.
    Could I do this dual boot with an external hard drive and what are the disadvantages of that approach and could I run into any problems?

  • @PanamaSticks
    @PanamaSticks Před 3 lety +1

    So what if you already have partitioned the drive and formatted the Linux as EXT3 and swap partition as linux swap? Will the installer know what to do?

  • @lliaolsen728

    @BTNHD I'm attempting my inaugural dual boot installation while following your video guides. I'm curious whether I'll need to tinker with elements such as Linux grub to successfully set up the dual boot. Additionally, is activating Hyper-V or a similar component necessary for this process? Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

    I have a 500Gb hdd with Win7. Have partitioned 150Gb ready for Linux. I have already downloaded both Ubuntu Mate and also Linux Mint Cinnamon iso's, (not decided which to go for yet). I have watched a number of videos so far about dual-booting but none seem to apply. My issue is that I cannot create a boot disk for Linux/Ubuntu as:
    A/ I have no spare dvd discs, plus
    B/ my disc drive (D:/ - DVD RW hdd) has packed up... I think the laser may be misaligned.
    I do have PowerISO and have created a virtual drive (E:/) Is there a way I can do this installation with the virtual drive?

    @dani.munoz.a23 Před 3 lety

    Question, since it already just has an option to install it alongside windows 7, can we just do that without resetting at all? And also is there a way to do this without actually creating an installation medium and instead just download ubuntu and boot it up

    • @ohcozey3601
      @ohcozey3601 Před 3 lety +1

      1. He didn't reset anything he just created a new disk partition.
      2. You persay don't have to "create" an installation media you download the iso for the distro you want and you use Rufus to create a bootable usb to then run Linux either off the flash drive or a dual boot

    • @dani.munoz.a23
      @dani.munoz.a23 Před 3 lety

      Actually wait no i remember what I meant now, I meant to ask if it is possible to install it in the empty space on the c: rather than using another drive

    • @dani.munoz.a23
      @dani.munoz.a23 Před 3 lety +2

      In the newest version of Ubuntu, the option to install alongside windows 7 is gone, and instead it asks where on the hard drive to install in and you have to manually choose the other partition

    • @ohcozey3601
      @ohcozey3601 Před 3 lety +1

      @@dani.munoz.a23 just did a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 the install option for a dual boot is still in the installer/setup. Are you asking if you can put Ubuntu in the same partition or disk? He shows in the video how to put them on the same disk, and like I said in the previous comment if you don't even want to install it youh can run it off a USB drive or a removable hard drive no problem.
