I booted from the Ubuntu ISO which I burned on a disk and installed Ubuntu, and chose the option to replace windows 7 with Ubuntu, now the version of windows 7 I was running was an illegal cracked version and I already had tried to get rid of it without booting into the actual OS and after many attempts was unsuccessful. Now did installing Ubuntu and choosing the option of replacing windows 7 actually solve my problem and did it wipe the previous windows OS EVERY LITTLE PART OF IT.

Can I install Ubuntu on a partition formatted as NTFS, instead of EXT4?  After installing Ubuntu 11.10 using ext4, I keep on getting disk errors at boot up.  But on this same harddrive, I have Windows 7, and I don't get these errors.  So I wanted to try NTFS, instead of EXT4, and see if it makes any difference.  The harddrive is about 5 years old.  So if it is failing, I would think it would be giving trouble in Windows just as well.

I have dual boot configured with Windows 7 (32bit) and Ubuntu 12.04(64bit). I installed Ubuntu after windows, now my windows is corrupt due to some virus and I need to reinstall it. Currently when I start my PC, grub loader comes up and I need to select Ubuntu or Windows.   I was wondering how can I install windows again and still have my Ubuntu install? Is there a way to do this?  I do not want to install Ubuntu again and lose my settings and data there.   Thanks, Ketan

Is it really safe to choose the "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option from the Ubuntu installation program?  I never used that option, instead I used other tools such as partition magic or windows 7's disk tool to resize my partitions.  Since I'm going to install Ubuntu across a lot windows (XP, Vista and 7) machines. It would not be nice to damage those Windows partitions.  What is your experience? Can I use this feature without concerns?

I am going to be buying a second hard drive for my desktop here pretty soon, because my current hard drive is a piece of junk running windows 7. What I want to know is how to install Ubuntu on the second drive. I am looking for a non complicated answer as I am not familiar with the Ubuntu lingo. I am so sick of Windows.. I used Ubuntu before but it didn't work properly. When I installed it, it said I didn't have enough space... Even though I had 600GB to use. Anyway if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. Thanks

I'm new to Ubuntu, so can any of you give me a guide of how I can access my windows 7 files from my Ubuntu 12. I installed it using Wubi. Looked around everywhere but failed.

Is it safe to run Windows and Ubuntu together on one PC?   Will it "mess with" my computer? I'm using Windows 7. Thanks!

I have Dell Laptop that is 15 5567 7th Generation. So it was maybe pre-installed as Dell says and I can see in the product information that this laptop is Ubuntu built in and based not Windows.  So I want to get my Ubuntu OS again. How can I do that?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on an Asus K53E laptop with 8 GB RAM. I check for updates to the software daily. If there are no updates, it asks me if I want to upgrade? What does upgrade exactly mean? Will my personal files still be there? Will it wipe EVERYTHING and give me a completely new installation of Ubuntu? Or will it allow me to keep my files and applications, and merely upgrade the OS?  When I upgrade my Mac or Windows machines, my personal files remain available after the upgrade. Does Ubuntu do the same, or are there completely different "rules"?
