^^ Thanks krishnandu.sarkar any idea to install Ubuntu along windows 7
Click to expand...

Yup just create a free space of 10 or 20GB (as you wish), and begin booting from Live CD, and you'll get option of installing Ubuntu beside Windows, everything will be automatically configured, don't worry final graph will be shown to you before installing.

^^ Thanks for reply, i have 4 partitions in my HDD.
C: 97.6GB
D: 292GB
E: 292GB
F: 247GB

First i want to install windows 7 in C:/ drive and then i want to install ubuntu in c:/ i know ubuntu not use NTFS partitions to install os.

my question is ubuntu will divide partition from c:/ drive or any other drive D:, E:/, or F:/
i have data in all drives expect C:, so i don't like ubuntu divide partitions from other drives.

Ok see, you have two ways...

Install Windows 7 and then and run Wubi from Windows 7. This way Ubuntu will get installed inside C:/ (or other drive if you choose so). But this method is not recommended. If you want to use Ubuntu in long term, it'll be a daunting task and a lot of hassle you have to face later on.

In a short line, Wubi is a program, which is already provided in Ubuntu CD, which helps us to install Ubuntu inside Windows for those who don't have space and want to try Ubuntu.

This one is easy process, but as I said before, it'll be hassle if you decide to use Ubuntu for Long term.

Another way is, shrink any of the drive and make out some free space of 20 or 30GB. Then boot from Live CD and install it.

I hope I'm clear.

Shall I install Gnome 3 ? My taskbar is AWN.

If you are on 11.10, you can. It won't break Unity UI as it used to do in 11.04. So the thing you are actually looking for is gnome-shell. Just type sudo apt-get install gnome-shell from terminal.

You shrinked your partition to 30GB or made out 30GB by shrinking it to 70GB??

Well, in that case you mean the 70GB partition is not showing up??

And BTW Enjoy your Ubuntu :D

So can you see the 70GB Partition now??

You won't be able to see the 30GB partition itself, as Ubuntu is installed in that partition.

You can use File System(Only Linux) or Partition Manager(Linux and other Partitions) to see the structure.

Ok, see the error "no such file or directory". First you need to go to the directory where the file is kept.

I guess it's under Download, if you have downloaded using Firefox.

So first do cd ~/Downloads

The present directory you are in, is in your home directory(which is denoted as ~). The full path is /home/your_user_name.

There was some problem with the Google Chrome & Ubuntu 11.10 as reported by Muktware website.. IMO, you should stick to Chromium.. It is same as Google Chrome minus the PDF capability & the icon..
