I prepared a Windows 7 ISO file, bootable pendrive by using DISKS.  Here's my system configuration.        Currently Ubuntu is running on my system (only one OS) When I am trying to install the Windows 7 using a penddrive, it is showing no device is found. But am able to view the pendrive data/details once I'm logged into the system.  Is this problem due to partition issues?  Please give some guidance/suggestions on how to install Windows 7.

I'd like to create a Windows bootable USB stick, but I don't have a Windows machine with me at the moment to do so. How could I achieve the same using Ubuntu?

I have a bootable pendrive containing Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 (amd64) on it, and I installed it on my pc with no problems. But when I tried installing it on a pc in my college, it said "failed to load ldlinux.c32". After a while, I found out that that pc was 32bit. Could this be the reason that the installation wasn't working?

I have Windows 7 installed in my PC. In a failed attempt to create a partition my disk has been converted to dynamic including system and boot volumes. How can I install Ubuntu in a partition without affecting the Windows system?

I want to burn a Windows ISO to a USB device in Ubuntu. How do I do this?   I know how to burn a Ubuntu ISO into a USB device, but with a Windows ISO it's not the same.

I would like to be able to create 2 partitions on my USB pen drive: 1 readonly (cdrom) partition, and 1 writable partition (FAT32).  What I have tried so far with no success:   Using /sbin/gparted on Linux, I created two FAT32 partitions on the pen drive. Next, I created a small iso image (~300KB in size) , like so:  $ genisoimage -V myLabel -rJ -o /tmp/my.iso /path/to/data  Next, I dd'ed this iso to the first FAT32 partition, like so:  $ dd if=/tmp/my.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M conv=notrunc $ sync   (Here, /dev/sdb corresponds to my pen drive.)   Results:   The Nautilus file manager can see both the CDROM and the FAT32 partitions just fine. But gparted shows the overwritten (CDROM) partition's file-system type as 'unknown'! Just like gparted, Windows 7 is unable to recognize the file-system on the first (CDROM) partition (that Windows is hardwired to see anyway), and so prompts me to format it!   I'm unable to understand why Nautilus can show my partitions just fine but not gparted and Windows.

I'm very new with Ubuntu and generally with linux. I saw ubuntu and it seems like this OS is really good and stable, and so I decided to install it alongside my windows 7 OS.  I have a few problems with the installation. Here is what I did:   I downloaded the 64bit version from Ubuntu official website, and burned it on a dvd. I set the boot sequence to first load from my CD-Rom. Ubuntu installation started, and I chose "Install Ubuntu" in the menu. (where there is also a "Try Ubuntu" option) I clicked forward until I got into the installation type screen    As you can see, the installation wont show my actual details about my hard drive! I have 1 hard drive with 750 GB - 80 GB - My main drive with windows 7 OS 600GB - All of my stuff 20GB Free space that I saved for Ubuntu But the installation wont show that!

I'm getting a PC with Windows and I want to dual boot using Ubuntu as my primary OS.  I want to create a Home partition to store all my files and hopefully be able to access them on Windows 7 without having to manually mount the partition or anything.  I want to know what kind of partition should I create and if I can share my Home partition to simplify matters.  Thanks

OS: Windows 7. I want install Linux Ubuntu on portable external Hard Drive USB 2.0. I read a variety of methods, but I'm confused by contradictory advices and methods. Actually, installing Ubuntu on anything other than clean PC looks much more complicated than installing Windows. I need to have Ubuntu package + Python 2.7 + C compiler installed. My external hard drive is partially filled, I need to keep all files.   Will Ubuntu run entirely on external hardrive, without writing anythinhg to Windows system folders and to registry?  Can anyone post detailed guide how install Ubuntu on external hard drive?

What I want is to create a bootable pen drive that shows GRUB menu and I can select any of the several bootable systems from there to install/run. I have several ISO images that I want to install in the USB like Ubuntu, Fedora, System Rescue CD, Windows XP and Windows 7 (The windows versions are optional, mostly am looking for a multi installer for Linux distros, specially Ubuntu version)  The default Startup Disk Creator only works with Linux Images and only 1 at a time (At least for the mean time. If it allows more systems and multiple ISOs it would be awesome)  What method exists that I can use step by step to create a bootable USB Drive with multiple images than can be booted from the USB and selected from GRUB. It must support Windows Images and Linux Images.  Alternatively, is there also a way to have multiple versions of the Ubuntu installation ISO on same USB Drive, such as, when booting from it, I get to choose what Ubuntu version and architecture to install, for example:     BOOT MENU   Ubuntu 12.04 32 Bit   Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit   Ubuntu 12.10 32 Bit   Ubuntu 12.10 64 Bit   UPDATE: Wanted to add that the English version for the post mentioned by daithib8 is here:

I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 12.04 on my ASUS UX31A alongside Windows 7; I tried to launch os-prober in my terminal and the only option I get is:   /dev/sda5:Windows Recovery Environment (loader):Windows1:chain   while Windows 7 (mounted on dev/sda3) is not shown.  This is what I see in my Disk Manager in Windows 7:    C: basically is the partition with Windows system's file, while the D: one is for data), while this is what I see when I launch GParted:     May it be because Windows is installed on SSD? How do I know that? Is it safe if I proceed with the installation for computers with UEFI, SSD and HDD? I'm not sure that's my case.

I have no idea how to do this.  I have 7 iso's that I want to be able to easily boot from using a USB Stick and they are:   Windows 7 Ultimate x86 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Windows 8.1 x64 Hirens BootCD Ultimate BootCD Windows XP Professional Ubuntu   Basically, I want to be able to boot my USB stick and instead of it just loading a single OS (like it does at the moment) I want a list of options ^ like above that I can choose and it will load that OS/ISO.  Any ideas how this can be achieved?

I wanted to take a sneak peek at Windows 7 so I thought of installing it. I have Windows Vista on my laptop which came pre-installed with it. I didn't want to mess with it.  So I created a partition (20 GB) in my USB external hard disk and tried to install Windows 7 on that partition. But when I booted from a Windows 7 DVD and selected the target partition on USB hard disk, it said it cannot be installed.  Is there any way to install Windows on an external USB hard disk?
