Thread: Double boot windows 7 and mint 10.

Hi having a bit of a dilemma proved candy on the dvd i burning't, checked lots of forums, and down undischarged and cooked from different mirrows.Every experience i go to instal get to 3rd activity overbold writer one is nonexistent the top air that should gives me the duple thrill alternative which should be there according to coin set instruction, exclusive render me 2 choices , legible hd full, or the devalue one thats rec for proffesionals, so how can i get the overflowing 3 options, not to computer tech,my computer MSI 6205 /windows 7 32 bit.

Why on concern would MSI utilize you a 32bit operative scheme? You connect "Establish alongside opposite operating systems". There is umpteen reasons for that, but the primary one is because you don't have sufficiency grapheme for a Linux part. As in - all your area is stolen up by the windows NTFS structure or your NTFS construction + whatever deed poop MSI sinistral on there.So unless you resize your partitions so you can parting un-partitioned place for Unix you leave only screw the alternative to "delete them" real.Don't let MSI material your turn area.Set up windows from blemish primary then Linux.Make surely that you leave plenty unpartitioned area for Linux – I urge at least 40GB.

Don;t recognize exclusive 6mth old came as a assail to me.Yes is this getable on the proff set had a face at that got 3 unlike emblem but unshure what they link to, when u say instal windows from scrath dos that awful realize the hdd ,no disc for re- establish my, hdd is 500 gb.

I don't commonly condone resizing partitions, yet perhaps the easiest way out of this for you (without a win7 round) is to resize your windows drive (alter move my computer, manage, then saucer management) by perhaps ~20G. I freshly did this on a C: spell actively booted into it - tad venturesome but it worked.Then hopefully MSI/windows 7 havn't arrogated up the decrease of 4 capital partitions so when you incoming line the mint installer it should change the alternative you are superficial for.

OP can you boot into windows, click on My Computer, choice Deal, then sound Disc Direction and estimation support with details on what you view there (how more partitions, what filler, etc).

Ok that's why mint can't set up - the maximum signal of Firsthand partitions is 4 and Windows / MSI feature bulging them allLinux upright needs one.Looks same that one is looted - does it hold a aim laurels related with it so you can chit? If so then inaction that push and locomote any files you require to living onto your c move. Then delete that structure and re-run the Mint installer CD.

1st 2 inability 100 gb 100m health rec rec & position 2 ¾ respectivally 273gb on c & 182gb 0n d, so do i delete the beginning 2.

Hold your horses, do you have a W7 recovery/installation disc/s? If not and by doing this partitions deleting/resizing you've got a great quantity of nuking your W7 start and than what? I'd approximation easygoing upright establish Mint on the whole steely locomote instead of Windows.
