Yep i still have hope for linux to run/work for me but its still doesnt.
i have 5 hard drives
device 1 partition 1 ? Well ill call it partition 0 because there is only 1 partition on it
So
Dev1 part1 Windows 7 (what a load of $#|T if u ask me lol)
Dev2 part1 Games
dev3 part1 Files
dev4 part4 Programs
dev5 part1 Storage
dev5 part2
dev5 part3
dev5 part4
Here is a thing.
dev5 is 500GB HDD so i split it in 4. 1st partition is for Storage for windows and other 3 are for linux
Mount point is as follows:
dev5 part2 mount point /
dev5 part3 mount point swap
dev5 part4 This partition used to install boot loader
Why i install boot loader there ?
Well because i dont want to touch windows boot loader.
Windows is my primary OS and i dont want to mess with its BOOT (please dont argue, my reasons beyond your understanding)
I install bootloaded for ubuntu to a separate hard drive because i can select which hard drive to boot from, so when i do it boots to windows as if dev5 had no boot information at all.
It seemed to work before when i tried linux while having XP installed, but not now
Do i have to have dev5 part1 for boot loader ? That would make sense actually. Or maybe dev5 part4 needs to be NTFS before ubuntu bootloader can be installed there ?
Can someone help ?
I also noticed that even now with 2.5 there is no such option to "JUST INSTALL IT". I dont relly want to waste time to load so called "LIVE" it takes time to load and its slow regardless of your computer SPECS (its running from CD, its like watching a video which is 4 GB size and 10 seconds long from a DVD. Ever tried it ? DVD just cant spin fast enough to give u 4 GB in 10 seconds, plus it has to be loaded into RAM first so i dont see much use for life but i do see the need for option "INSTALL RIGHT NOW")
Thanks in advance guys
