How can I create new partition for dual boot (Windows 7/Ubuntu)?

My Z580 came with 4 primary partitions: the Windows boot partition; Windows OS & data (C drive); a "Lenovo" partition which seems to have the drivers and software pre-installed (drive D). and an OEM partition that is used for key recovery.

I want to create a dual boot system, as if I had on my old laptop, so I guess I need to delete one of the existing partitions and create an extended partition. The best candidate seems to be the 'Lenovo' partition with the drivers and applications. Can I backup the data on this partition and transfer it to the C drive... or put it on a new logical partition?

Alternatively, it would be preferable to save the OEM DVD recovery partition, and then delete and create a new extended partition? I guess that means abandon OKR, but I'd still be able to recover Windows of DVDs (?).

I would appreciate anyone's help. I am far from being an expert or computer whizz, so if you can help, please keep it simple!

In fact, you can get if you only change the size of the D: drive. I guess that your D: drive occupies about 25 GB. You can delete this partition and shrink the C: drive as 100 GB (or any size you like) and you can create a new D: drive. This way you can use OneKey Recovery and install the second OS on a larger partition and yet once again, I suggest you create Factory Default disc before you do all this

    According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
    Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

    Best regards

    I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

    I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
    So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

    However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

    By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

    Hello

    How can I create new revision by RIDC Api... I want complete example please.

    Thank you

    The point is not in the service, the point is that you meet a single parameter of the databinder by dataBinder.putLocal ("IdcService", "CHECKOUT... ") and then immediately (without appeal to the service) rewrite you it with the setting of the new service dataBinder.putLocal ("IdcService", "CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL");... dataBinder.putLocal (key, value);... dataBinder.addFile ("primaryFile", tf); which is then called ServiceResponse response = client.sendRequest (dataBinder, userContext);

    I recommend you to familiarize with the tutorial - you can get more information about what actually makes CRMI.

  • How can I partition my hard drive for dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP?

    I installed Windows 7.  How do I get a partition or virtual hard disk the hardrive and then install a different OS, so that I can dual-boot between 7 and XP?

    I only know of the VHD, 7 has a "virtual machine" option or is a long process that requires a third-party software?

    Not longer than the partitioning of the HARD drive and install XP - actually quite a bit more fast I should think and gives you the ability to move from one OS to the other without having to reboot the machine.

  • create partition for dual boot XP and Vista

    follow the guide step by step to install XP already installed Vista I chose option 3 and created a new partition unallocated
    of the main C: partition
    Install XP from my CD does not work, the 'install' option is disabled (write transparent)
    I tried to assign an E: to the "new volume" and followed the footsteps of th GUI, but when it came to 'Finish', says assistant "it will change the primary disks selected dynamic disks, which are unable to accommodate any other operating system than the one existing". When I confirmed, I had the opinion that "this operating system admits no dynamic disks". Close.
    Now did I have to distribute and formats the volumen again?
    How can I install XP-Home Edition my CD and after that, go to the step by step guide to create the dual boot?

    Hi Sescenti and thanks for posting.

    There are a few problems with the senario that you describe. First of all, you can not install XP on a dynamic disk. You will need to format the dynamic disk to basic disk and install from there. After loaded XP you can then convert the basic disk to a dynamic disk, but you have to be careful because if you convery the OS main partition as dynamic you can never return to the base.

    The second issue with your senario is that you first loaded Vista. If you do not load XP Yes, you can start, but because Vista was on the system, first you will need run the Vista startup repair whenever you start to XP (if you don't have some kind of Boot Manager).

    I hope this helps. Let me know id, you have any questions and let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.

  • How can I create dynamic events for a group/list?

    Hey,.
    ATM I'm programming request a bit where I add items to my center pane.

    Simpyfied I got:

    -Center pane: here are the items that appear on right click in the lower pane. This component must serve something like a playground where you can drag and drop and associate items in the bottom pane
    -Low component: here, I got approximately 180 items which are quite equal. It's smth like a menu of items that you can use. I realized the java classes extended from a parent with v.f. dispute class.

    What I want:
    I want to create an event handler for EACH of the items 'menu' dynamically. Just sth like:
        for (int i = 0; i < basic_menu_list.size(); i++)
        {
          final Element el = hbox_bottom.getChildren().get(i);
          hbox_bottom.getChildren().get(i).setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
          {
    
            public void handle(MouseEvent event)
            {

              }
            }
    
          });
        }
    But as I expected, it does not work...

    Now my question:
    How can I solve this problem? Y at - it no option to listen to all the elements of a group without hard-coding every single listener?

    Thanks for your help,

  • How can I create two TTS for 1 slide?

    Hi all

    I want to create two text files in slide 1.

    When I add a new TTS for a slide, it adds to the original audio file? I want two audio files separated into a slide.

    Thank you.

    You cannot have two audio audio tracks to slide, and TTS leads to drag

    audio. You can use TTS on another slide to create the audio clip, then

    delete this slide. The audio clip will remain in the library, you can

    Use with Auido play or attached to an object.
