Tutorial on How-to Install Dual Boot setup with Microsoft Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx 64bit RC via USB Memory device. I show off the advanced automatic re-partitioning feature of the Ubuntu installer. I also show the very nice desktop wallpaper made by a OSGUI fan known as wally.

Asides 
The curtain has been raised (slightly) on the next installment of Microsoft’s Windows operating system – Windows 7.
Microsoft hope it will bring the internet, mobile phone and PC closer together. But reviews have so far been mixed, although reviewers have been limited to trying the (pre-beta version).
The full version is expected to be capable of working with a touchscreen screen, navigating documents and the Web similar to Apple’s iPhone. It is officially released at the end of 2009.
“I have seen the future, and it is bleak. Windows 7, the next big version, the one that was supposed to fix everything that was wrong with Vista, is here (at least in pre-beta form), and I can now say – with some confidence – that Microsoft has once again dropped the ball.
“Overall, I’m extremely disappointed with Windows 7. Far from atoning for Vista’s sins, Windows 7 simply carries them forward, visiting them upon yet another generation. Windows 7 is no panacea. Rather, it’s just more of the same: slow, bloated, and frustrating as hell.”
“When it comes to Windows 7, Microsoft hasn’t just learned from the mistakes of Windows Vista. It has picked up a thing or two from Apple’s OS X, judging by first impressions.
“It’s not clear how big the changes are so far. If you put the beta-build of Windows 7 side-by-side with Windows Vista, you’d be hard-pressed to spot the differences. Yes, some of the icons look slightly different and there’s no sidebar, but it’s essentially still the Vista look and feel. But that changes when you start to use Windows 7.
“For a start the OS won’t nag you as much; many notifications are banished to a control panel, you get to approve icons before they show up in the system tray and Microsoft has reined in Vista’s useful but annoying UAC prompts; you can choose which ones you want to see or turn them off altogether.”
“Initially Windows 7 looks similar to Vista, but there a lot of new features that have been added. Under the skin, Microsoft has been working hard. Boot times have been reduced, and certainly the review laptop Microsoft provided has a fairly snappy boot time.
“Microsoft has been working with OEMs to improve battery life – simple things such as reducing the timer frequency can improve battery life by up to 10 per cent. The networking stack has had new diagnostics added to help users figure out exactly where the problem lies.
“So, is this all a big deal? It’s not a change to the fundamental core of Windows, and most of the improvements sound relatively small. But taken together, they seem to address many of the issues people have had for Windows. I’m looking forward to trying it out, starting this afternoon.”

@boyaddicted I have this same exact problem…I might just quit linux I like it , but with no internet…that’s a big deal breaker.

Has the install screen changed for the actual release? I get to Step 4 and it does not give me the option to “install side by side”. It does acknowledge the Windows 7 loader and gives me the option to install without Erase and use the entire disk, but no way to specify partition space via slider and no “Install side by side” option.

@Gbghenke nope, I don’t think so
at 1:13 pm
@PhoebeMakinVideos cool thats good

Awesome–installing my first dual boot set-up tonight after 4 years on ubuntu alone (oh, if only they’d come out with netflix streaming for ubuntu and I wouldn’t have to!). Watching you go through the set up makes me feel much less anxious.
at 1:13 pm
@boyaddicted you need to search forums for the answer with regards to the hardware you have
at 1:13 pm

AGGGG im pulling my hair out over this! for me ubuntu dosnt recognise windows7!! im using a live disc, it just says there are no operating systems installed! do you know what i’m doing wrong? pm me

@m00ste No, I need to buy one to fix a graphical failure for a computer that’s too old to be worth replacing the parts for. I fixed the MBR problem three times, each after an installation of Ubuntu decided to kick my bootup in the nuts. It was easy to fix, but it’s tiresome, and I still have no Ubuntu.

@DontMoveItsBehindYou thanks mate
at 1:14 pm
Linux Ubuntu is just a mix of windows and mac good, but i prefer windows or mac if im honest nice video though
at 1:14 pm
@velocitybird
You do not need to buy a new computer to fix a MBR problem….
at 1:14 pm
@UltimateDarkX no not if you do a dual boot … it leaves Windows in place
at 1:14 pm
@Gbghenke nope…. its exactly the same process for any version of Windows from 2000 2003 XP or 7 or 2008

@tyler0899 thanks
at 1:14 pm
Thanks great video!!

Will there be any diffrent if I use Vista instead of Win 7? Maybe a dumb question (a)
at 1:14 pm
Do your files get deleted if you install Ubuntu?
at 1:14 pm
@iLoveChimpanzee well you don’t need to buckup
but its a safe idea
yes u can install ubuntu linux to as small as 8GB drive
at 1:14 pm
Do you have to back up your files or something if you want to do this?? because i dont have an external hard drive
Also, My computer has 288GB
i have used like 180. Is 90 or 100GB enough to install ubuntu?
I would wipe my entire HD but my zune keeps me from not doing it :/
at 1:14 pm
@OwNaGeOfDaLiAm don’t turn compiz on and flash at the same time
that never works for anyone well, they conflict
at 1:14 pm
@OSGUIShow Well i installed ubuntu 10.04 from the LiveCD as you suggested onto a partition, and i found the exact same problem. It must just be my drivers or my laptop, either way i wont be using ubuntu for now.
