Thread: how to install onto HDD

-

hi have partitioned existing 40gb hdd 2 x 20gb primary partitions. c: drive has xp pro installed (32 bit) , want install ubuntu on other f: drive.

have had several attempts no joy. hp pavillion desktop (circa 2001)
40gb hdd & 512 mb ram

keep hitting "root" problem if drive not formatted or , cant find straight forward option install on f: drive.

im not @ this, failed understand forum q & a's please straight forward step step instructions appreciated. thanks

sorry, hoping able dual boot if complicated can change f: drive logical if ubuntu still operate on ok.

you don't have prepare partition ubuntu beforehand. leaving enough unallocated space on drive enough. installer has format partition anyway, windows cannot make required ext3/4 partition. anyway, f drive won't known f drive in linux. drive letters windows terminology.

512mb small. recommend try install lubuntu. model hp pavillion exactly? processor in it?

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
