| 1149973 | 2010-11-11 23:01:00 | What? No it's not, the BIOS handles it... Apologies - thought the OS boot order in the GRUB menu was being talked about ... should read properly! |

| 1149978 | 2010-11-14 23:31:00 | Will try and install Ubuntu to the c:drive this week, so that it will give me the boot option. What is the best way to make a partition for Linux on my C: or should I tell it to do it itself? How can I ensure it does not overwrite any WinXP files? I also need to uninstall Ubuntu from my external HD, but will probably be able to do that once it runs on C:? sarel |

| 1149979 | 2010-11-15 00:15:00 | I have just successfully downloaded and installed Ubuntu 10.1 using WUBI. After downloading Ubuntu and extracting it I found and ra:clapn WUBI and let it install Ubuntu onto C: drive. It asked me to insert a disk in my DVD Writer. WUBI then installed Ubuntu into a folder in my Windows 7 64-bit drive. I did not need to create a separate partition. It appears to have installed on C: drive as though it was a Windows programme. It is listed in control Panel under Programmes Uninstall. So to uninstall it I could use Control Panel if need be. WUBI has set up Boot Manager so that on start up I have the choice of loading either Windows 7 or Ubuntu. My biggest problem is that I do not have sound. I got a lot of useful information from; wiki.ubuntu.com |

| 1149981 | 2010-11-16 18:41:00 | The interesting thing is that I still haven't installed SP3 on my PC, and I still haven't had my micro-freezes back. Yes, I do have the odd problem with my DVD burners (as you may surmise with me burning non-working CD's) but all in all not too bad. Will attempt the installation tonight. sarel |

| 1149982 | 2010-11-18 18:56:00 | Ya well I tried everything again - the redownloaded Ubuntu, installed on C: (properly), no boot options. Did it the Wubi way, no boot options. In both cases the grub actually installed very nicely as well and it told me that when I reboot I will get the menu with options but alas no. Installed it as per the proper advice pages (e.g the page for Wubi), for example had all the installation files in one directory, etc.etc. Sounds to me I'm not meant to play with Linux and yes Myth, I know, it's me playing again (a veeeeeeery dangerous situation in the best of times) but I have to see whether I can run Ubuntu should my PC's microfreezes return. I will now trawl all the Ubuntu forum pages to see if somebody had a problem similar to mine and then to find the magic bullet. *Sigh*:crying:crying:badpc::badpc: sarel |
