Ubuntu 13.10 doesn't allow me to install "alongside" Windows, just "replace"
I have a disk with 3 partitions:
- 100MB for Windows 7
- 97.56GB for Windows 7
- 125.91 which I want to install Ubuntu on
How can I install Ubuntu on the 125.91 GB partition "alongside" Windows 7 (including grub etc) so I can dual boot between the two? Usually I get the "alongside" option available.
If I select "something else", click on the 125.91GB partition and then "install now" it says
"No root file system defined".
Solution 1:
- After selecting
something else, you would be presented with the window which contains all your partition. - Select the partition on which you want to install ubuntu (in your case it is 125.91 GB partition ).
- Now click on edit partition, It will present a popup window . Select
"partition type" as
ext4 journaling file system, check the "format partition" option and select "mount point" as/. Now click ok. - It will ready the partition for ubuntu installation. Now click on proceed button to proceed the installation process.
