Yesterday, I faced the problem while I was trying to install ubuntu with Windows 7 for dual-boot.
The problem is ubuntu cannot see any partition on my hard disk even I’ve parted it to 3 partitions
and 1 of 3 partition has been installed Windows 7 already.<\/p>\n
I’ve tried many ways to solve this issue and google for more than 3 hours to find the solution.
But bad luck for me, there is no any solution and the root cause is not out there.<\/p>\n
Finally, I’ve found the root cause myself.<\/p>\n
The problem come from the day before that I tried to install Mac OS X on my dell laptop and in the installation process, it change my hard disk to be GUID Partition Table (GPT).
And this partition type cannot install windows 7 32-bit on it. So when I tried to install windows 7, the windows has change structure of hard disk to be some thing that ubuntu installer cannot read the actual partition. And if I use ubuntu to part the partition, the Windows 7 installer will not be able to install on any partition.<\/p>\n
SO the solution is to use GParted in ubuntu Live CD to change the partition table to be Master Boot Record (MBR) and then everything works like a charm.<\/p>\n
Very easy, right?<\/p>\n
Hope this can help anyone who faces the same problem as me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
