[oneandonlydj]

[TimmyWhoa]

is this for dual boot?

[juanfran2783]

I want to try Ubuntu and hopeflly get rid of Windows Vista. I downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 from the main site, uncompressed the file, burned a CD with the files and rebooted my computer. Instead of booting from the CD, like I hoped, Vista loaded. So, no success so far. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for yur help.

[GMsheen]

Yes what you do is:

Press F2 as soon as you start the computer up.

Then you have to change the order of drives so to do this you press F5 to move the device down the list, or press F6 to move it up. We need the CD Drive to be 1st. So put that 1st, then the hard drive 2nd. The press ESC, then exit and save changes, reboot your pc. Then when it reboots it should load the cd. Take this video tutorial to know how to do the rest.

Hope this helps ;)

You probably didn't burn the file correctly.

You should just have an iso file which you burn as a img onto a cd (google imgburn for a free program)

Then when your PC loads up watch and at some point you will be able to press F8 (maybe F12) to choose boot options. Select your cd drive.

[juanfran2783]

Yeah, that was the problem, it's ok now. Thanks.

i was wondering why when i try to use ubuntu from the Live CD it always askes for a username and password?!

[jahadicwarrior]

nice vid man, good work.

[00hacker001]

if i install this, will my vista go away if i do it? pliz tell me :)

[jahadicwarrior]

i doubt u are gona check this to see if anybody replied, but whatever.

if u do it like he did it will, "take the entire hard disk."

u can dual boot windows vista and ubuntu however, google it or look for some of the other vids on youtube.

btw, u can dual boot any combo of os's. ive got vista xp and ubuntu. i have heard about a dude that has every version of linux dual booted.

[jahadicwarrior]

btw, why the hell is your name hacker....come on kid...u dont know shit about computers...

[newnoman]

Not unless you completely wipe the disk for Ubuntu.

[m0nsk1]

How did you record the screen on video? Thanks.

[nyce213]

I used Camtasia to record the screen

[famasown]

That's because you didn't install the dual booter.

[Billyrocker33]

Very good thanks!

[mirceatogerescu]

[brendon2dope]

hey when i put the ubuntu cd in it doesnt boot from it what do i do?

[nabby2035]

make sure that in ur BIOS you have it set the 1st boot drive to your cd/dvd drive. it should then work. go to the ubuntu and you'll find a bunch of help there as well.
