This appears to be what is desperately needed to the seriously lacking Mint install guide where the partitioning screen isn't even shown let alone described in any detail. Problem here is, all the images are missing making this of way less value. :( Can the OP update his first post? Thanks, yes I d...

Are you talking about a cache or hosts problem?

I am sorry was away for few days hence unable to reply, I can see the pics/images very clear, let me know if it works for you now or not?

How do I do that? I'm not stupid, but I need a lot of hand-holding. Download linux iso and use the unetbootin or universal usb installer to create bootable usb linux. Boot from the usb and u will have access to all your partition linux and or windows to copy back your data. Here is a link which mig...

I wud suggest to make a live usb of your choice of linux, boot from it and access the linux partition and copy your data if you can do that

About a few months ago, I purchased a new laptop, after the last one suddenly "went west." I had Mint 11 installed on that laptop via Mint4Win. The installation through windows was great, with a smooth and hassle free installation. Having liked 11, I decided to do the same, and install Ma...

I want to make a windows 7 partition on my computer (since it originally came with win7). I do not have the disks, but I do have the .iso and a flash drive. I would prefer to keep my current partition of linux mint 15 with kde, but just shrink it and create a new partition for windows 7. Is that po...

I am using Samsung mobile to connect to internet while traveling thru a data cable. It works fine with data cable but I am not able to connect to the internet if I wud connect my mobile using bluetooth instead of data cable. It only provides me with access to my data card if I wud use bluetooth. May...

if i run mint 9 from a live cd, is it possible to save any changes i've made to a usb memory stick, when shutting down, so next time i use it , all the changes will reload automaticaly, similar to "puppy 5" o/s. thanks in advance, sue. Yes it is possible if you are using a Live USB and no...

Hi I've downloaded mint 9 DVD iso file and I've created a live usb by Ubuntu live usb creator. When i boot from the usb, it runs untill the logo of mint with small blinking circles in the bottom, and it just stays there. When i press F1 i see this message: (process:270) Glib-Warning **: getpwuid_r(...

Nisha, I was struggling with dual booting installation of Isadora over Win7 and was stymed by the partitioning problems and lack of directions in the guide to the point that I was going to give up. Then I did a google search that led me to your tutorial. You are fabulous. Very professional done. Ig...

No need to go thru this much length. I am using Acer too and I follow the simple procedure below and it works great even on Skype In the terminal do: * killall pulseaudio * sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio * sudo apt-get install esound * sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio restart the PC and enjo...

Your tutorial is adequate as far as it goes, but it is in no way a complete dual booting guide. I never wanted to make a complete dual booting guide as far as u said Linux first and windows next is concerned since I am yet to learn how to fix grub2 again. I am a total newbie and learning new things...

A little suggestion...you might want to do a tutorial on a dual-boot system instead, with manual partitioning explained in this scenario, if your goal is to help out life-long Windows users with manual partitioning. vincent, i have also explained dual boot process with-in this tutorial and I hope i...

You do know that the Mint User Guide goes over the exact same steps, with screenshots included as well? I don't see how your tutorial is any different, except you've gone into a bit more detail on the manual partitioning stage. That is what makes the difference. A life time windows user mostly give...
