Dual Boot Windows 7 / Vista and Linux Part 1 of 2

[balex92]

Should I do something if the extra stuff at the end of video2 didn't download?

[FraeStudios]

i like your video style, loud, clear, and to the point. you arent like 99% of other yotubers stumbling through a list of notes with blurry as crap video

[TuTCompany]

does it works with linux debian?

[drumsTJ]

i think Linux is better than vista

[dylan5449]

Hey it worked great for the most part. But I do have one question, I don't want to have that 20 GB pulled aside anymore, how do I undo that? I tryed system restore but that didnt work either. By the way Im running Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit -- HP Pavilion dv6

Hope you can help!

Thanks

-Dylan

[MrMertzrl]

@dylan5449 What you do is you delete the added volume and once you delete it it will show that it is unused and then you right click on your main drive C and click extend.

Help! I can't create that big of a space at the screen at 4:46!

[advsoft]

[3eneboy]

question...

i currently have windows and have it installed in my c drive, when that got full i bought and external hard drive.... apart from manually transferring my own created files to my external hard drive, to just leave windows on my c drive, is there any other way to do that?... i plan to have windows and linux on my internal c drive and my program files and data on my external....

how would i go about doing this?

[GamerAndReviewer]

I have a 750GB disk and I could Shrink only 20,5GB!!!

[MicrowavedCoyote]

Simple question, I think. After downloading the torrent, in the folder, what should I do with the seven other files that aren't the .iso file? Do I burn them to the disk as well?

[CroHellMan]

guys...HELP...please...do i realy need to burn it on a DVD with 4.7gb or can i use a CD with 700mb???

[GamerAndReviewer]

@CroHellMan If Ubuntu or Linux is more that 690MB, then burn it to a DVD because it won't fit at a CD. But if it's less than 690MB, burn it to a CD.

[iiyyoorraamm]

@CroHellMan yes you can use a 700mb cd =)

[Thecatboi]

Awesome Videos dude ;) helped me alot thanks ;D

[Kfreeman707]

Ok so i downloaded it and burned it to a CD and i do the configuration and it keeps going back to windows plz help!!!!!!

[raff0123456789]

that was alot easier than i thought

[1648sandro]

gostei muito bom

[CamCam8771]

I have a question... can I partition my External hard drive and run linux from my external hard drive and if i want i can unplug my external hard drive and go to Windows? I know that was a long question but please help.

[mafiapanda]

@CamCam8771 Yes you can (:

[bladerbeast9]

Hey I'm sure this is a pretty noob question, but how did you create that origional partition between windows file systems and you're actual data storage. Also, how do you tell windows and linux which partition is the other operation system and which is where to save files? That may have been a really dumb question, but any advice would be much appreciated

[TheInedibleHunk]

Do you have to burn a disk? I don't have a cd/dvd burner.

[utube2pietronet]

hi!! good vid thx, just a question what kind of computer do you have it is sooooooo fast!!!

thx

[pkmaster650]

@utube2pietronet u just have a shit pc coz mine is faster than his!!! :D

[1646Alex]

Can you use it with a external hardive?

[sammyyssdk]

when i do this how do i make the drive a primary source

[lindsaymobil22]

Not being able to shrink has hardly anything to do with how long you have been using your drive. Because of NTFS, it has something called MFT or master file table and normally with vista, it would store this MFT at the end of the partition. Since windows dosent want you to touch it it says you cant shrink. There are defragging tools like perfectdisk that can shift this MFT but if you use windows 7 there shouldnt be a problem

[WerdlaRamikad]

Thank you, this was very helpful.

[BUCK3TM4N]

you should make a video about making one of those data drives and moving all the stuff over to it that would be awesome

[spenglerrocks95]

now let me ask a question could you instead use a usb drive instead of burning to a disk

[CoverlessTech]

@spenglerrocks95 Yes, check my recent video about ubuntu 10.04 usb key.

[Dayfoxx7000]

@CoverlessTech hey im using linux but i only shrunk 25gigs i need more how can i add more space>

[GoerdingscapePK]

@spenglerrocks95 You can also download winrar. Then extract the iso file and run it from there ;)

[devilsclaw69]

ahaha why whould anyone wanna duel boot in to vista, VISTA??????

[Rickyhi100]

i use ubuntu

[arab4me]

i can't shrink volume help

[maicon22225]

good job!! i'll do this!!! congratulations!!!

good demonstration!!!

[djloki666]

Hey, Problem, after gets done from the main screen(Mandriva) it looks like its trying to load something but, its not doing it, I tried hitting enter, esc, everything, i push the power button, goes back to the Mandriva screen and says "shutting down your system"(or something along those lines) Im going to boot up from it a 3rd time and hopfully get it right, if you can, tell me whats going on?

[MrMutobuMan]

1. I have a XP, will Linux work on it?

2. I got to the Disk Management part, I clicked it, and the two volumes shown are "C" and "ServiceV001" not "D". Can I use the "ServiceV001" volume instead of "D"?

[gingerkid367]

hm when i did this with kubuntu it told me it was an unusable partition.

[punkindrublic21]

how do you get the data partition in disk managment? mine says recovery

[Lynnc83]

your steps are very clear thanks

[bluedove2897]

I'm doing this now with Linux Mint!

[guitarmaster360]

Hi Coverless, I find your tutorial awesome but I am having problems. I do everything and get it to boot from the disk but i am unable to move my mouse to continue the installation. I can't select language or continue. I have a logitech keyboard and mouse combo, I thought it might be that so i switched to a regular mouse and it didnt help :( can you help?

[vtskcy]

Hi Coverless Tech,

Your video is great , so I try to your steps in my new PC. My question, if your D partition is a logical drive instead of primary partition, is it still ok the Mandriva installation??

Thx,

[trusodapop]

dude. awsome tutorial. you rock

[darthvenomzor]

Hey CoverlessTech, thank you very much for the great tutorial but when i come to the part of installing Linux when i am running it off the CD i am unable to choose the option use free space, i can only choose use free space on microsoft partition. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium

Thanks ;)

[vtskcy]

Thx for the great video! I need urgent help. In window 7, I want to shrink my C partition to create a new Data Files partition. But as I formatted to create axNTFS partition(G: 200GB), the resultant is a logical drive instead of Primary partition. How to get a Primary Partition so that later I will use that for Mandriva installation(in another Unallocated 20GB space)? Currently in my PC, there are 2 Primary partitions(Recovery; C parttion).

[celtics951753]

hey i need some help. when i open the partitions i have to. the c drive and the d drive. but the d drive isnt my data. its my recovery data and it only has 10.92GB. i dont know what to do. is it safe to take the memory from the c drive? please help

[happi127166]

uhh my data files arent stored in disk manageemnt; how do I store it there?

[liyunzhe2004]

and also right now i have about 30GB free on my hard drive, however after i run the "shrink", it only allows me to enter something with 10G

[Sam1sm]

Hey Stephen, when I tried this I got up to where Mandriva starts booting and then it stops and asks for a local user account name and password which I do not have. Any clue about what's happening?

[agathaga]

i did all you say from part and  but as it was rebooting from install it said some error wit hthe medium. i hope something that can be fixed. and other thing that i noitce is that no 3D desktop :( how can i get it ?

[duude11111]

ok when i go to my c drive it says i have 40g of free space but when i go to shrink it says i only have 15g, even after i defraged everything.

where did the rest of my drive go?

and should i be fine with just the 15g

[CoverlessTech]

Thats just the greedy way Windows uses disc space.

As long as you store all your media(music, movies, ect) on the larger windows partition and keep the linux side for just linux and linux apps then 15GB should due you fine for a while.

[karlvincent12345678]

can you shrink your c drive or will it affect performance etc?

[CoverlessTech]

You can shrink C no problem. I did it with the other drive because that one had more to shrink.

[dcfoxfire]

@CoverlessTech how long will the shrinking take? ive been in the shrinking window for 30minutes now...

[SMacEwan]

Thanks again man. I used GParted to shrink the windows volume, but arrived at the same result... Keep doing the Linux tuts, there needed on youtube...:)

[gfneeded1]

do you need to have to drives or can you duel boot from one drive?

[CoverlessTech]

You can do it from one drive. I only have one drive.

[muertomaniaco]

good stuff regards from mexico
