I want to install a new Ubuntu on a drive where a previous Ubuntu system is already installed beside Windows7.  The first option says that only Ubuntu will be replaced.   The second says that all will be erased.  I only want Ubuntu replaced with the  new one while keeping Windows7 untouched.  Is the first option (“Erase Ubuntu16.10 and reinstall”) the good one in this case?

I am about to install Ubuntu on my new laptop, but I don't have access to a USB drive of any sort and it doesn't have an optical drive. Would it be possible to boot into the Ubuntu installer if I save it to a new partition on my hard drive and boot from there via the BIOS?  In case you need it, , which lists my system specifications.  Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide. :)

I am already using Windows 7. I want to install Ubuntu 13.04 along side Windows 7 in a partition that I already made in one of my hard drive but I am worried about losing the data on my drive. Is there any possibility of data loss?

I have a dumb problem that I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction on. I'm trying to install ubuntu 16.04.1 on a windows10 machine. I've followed all the steps correctly (I think) all the way up to the point where I am supposed to go through the install program on the thumb drive. The first problem is that it does not show the option screen that has the partition the hard drive options (see here: ). The next page (here:) only shows that my "device for boot loader installation" is the thumb drive itself.  I'm confused. I've made sure that there is in windows a free partition with no drive assigned and every other step up till the point where I reach this dead end I've followed correctly seemingly. Can anyone tell me what's going wrong?

I installed Ubuntu through USB. Instillation was successful.  But when I restarted my laptop it didn't boot. So planed install it again when started selected install from USB. it booted my previous installed Ubuntu. So after went Ubuntu boots no need of that pen drive, so in short, every time I want to start my pc I need that pen drive to boot.

So basically as it stands I have a laptop which has no cd/dvd drive, and I don't have a usb drive.  The laptop has windows 7 installed with ubuntu 11.04 installed through wubi.  What I want to do is remove windows completely, and make ubuntu the only OS installed on the system.  Is there a way to do this without re-installing ubuntu? (i.e. can I take my wubi install away from windows?)  or is there a way to from inside ubuntu have it run the ubuntu iso somehow so I can just wipe the system and install it fresh? (even if it means I need to have an e.g. 2gb partition just for the image to reside in).

All my system is functioning ok right? I have every feature like a normal ubuntu user cause I installed it right??

After I finished installing Ubuntu 13.04 from the USB, it went straight to Windows 8 without Grub showing to ask me to select an operating system, how can i fix this ? I don't have UEFI or secure boot.

I am a newbie in linux. I wanted to install ubuntu to my desktop. I currently have two partitions, Windows 8 in installed on one, and i have some important files in another partition. While installing ubuntu, if I chose "Replace Windows 8 with Ubuntu", do I lose the other partition too?   And are there other ways to leave the other partition as it is, and install ubuntu in the partition  where windows was installed.

I'd like to fully install Ubuntu 12.10 onto a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive, not create a LiveUSB, but to treat the flash drive as an external hard drive.   I've read it's possible and I know my computer can boot from it. However, it doesn't work when I try. I've booted a LiveUSB from another flash drive and installed Ubuntu onto the 16GB one. It finished successfully, but when I try to boot from it and it takes me straight to Windows 8 instead. I feel I've done something when installing the boot loader.  It'd be great if I had some step-by-step instructions for:     how many partitions to make,  what kind,  how big, and  where to install the boot loader.
