I have been trying to put Ubuntu on my 8gb flash drive, while already having it on a 4gb and not having enough space. I don't want to deal with it any more. When it said I could install Ubuntu alongside my windows, I don't know how that works. Can I chose which one I want to boot, when I go to the F12 menu? Or does that even work?

Problem, I'm not sure if it's working with my Windows 7 starter. It gives me a error message after I click continue, when it makes sure I have enough memory and internet, etc. in the install for Ubuntu. The error message: ubi-partman failed with exit code 10. Further instruction may be found in /var/log/syslog When I click "continue anyway" it goes strait to the "Where are You" Setup, without asking if I want to install Alongside or etc. Jan 14, 2014 at 2:06

Yes, you can install Ubuntu alongside windows and choose which one do you want to boot on startup.

I just found out that you don't HAVE to use cd's. I can do the same DaulBoot setting install through my flash drive. I can do that, right? Jan 13, 2014 at 3:54
