Is it possible to install Windows 7 and Ubuntu on the same partition?

I'm a grad student and for my studies I need to ubuntu and Windows the long withit. Unfortunately in my laptop that only one partition is free. I would like to install Ubuntu inside Windows. Is this possible?

No, this isn't a plausible scenario, the two operating systems use different file systems, Windows 7 uses NTFS and Ubuntu uses ext4.  Even if they use a common file system, it would still not be recommended.  If you have enough free space on the disk, you can shrink the partition, and then create a new partition on free space for Ubuntu, note that it still may be a bit difficult to implement correctly, you must have a knowledge base of the operation between the MBR and the boot so that it works correctly on the same hard disk.

Have you considered installing Ubuntu in a virtual environment in Windows 7?  I think that this may be a better option.  Personally, the engine virtual without going I prefer VirtualBox , but some prefer VMware Player , which is also very popular.

    Hi, CPC,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
     
    You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.
     
    You log in to vista, you may not use any of the XP application and vice versa.

  • Can I install Win7 and Win8 on the same partition?

    I have a 500 GB partition I want to use to install windows 7 and windows 8. I have windows 8 already installed, I want to know if I can install Win7?

    You must have another partition to install windows 7 on! but you can install windows 7 on the same partition, if you create a virtual hard drive partition and install windows on this VHD file. This way you can dualboot n/b operating system.

    Hope that helped, thank you.

  • Is it possible to run vCenter Server and AUVS in the same database?

    Hello. My client has vCenter Server and VUM installed and running in the same database. Yes, the same database (not only same server database) and the same ODBC (ODBC VUM is 32-bit only).

    My question is whether it is supported or not and I would like a source VMware information, not only "it works fine for me".

    I can't find any definitive info on this VMware. Only something to wave in the installation and upgrade guides about or not to run in the same database ' ' (I guess they mean 'server') and it seems that the recommendation is to separate them for the 'large environments,' whatever that means.

    The environment vSphere 4.1 is currently, and there are about 20 guests and 150 virtual machines.

    If it is not supported, I guess the best way to go is to reinstall both from scratch?

    Thanks in advance!

    / Anders

    Yes, it is a supported configuration.  Since VUM and vCenter using different tables, you can share the same DB

    The database of the update manager that you use can be identical to the vCenter Server database. You can also use a
    separate database, or you can use existing database clusters. For best results in a large scale environment, you
    must use a dedicated Update Manager database that is located on one computer other than the
    the vCenter Server system database.

  • Windows 7 and XP on the same machine.

    I have a computer running Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) and I need to run multiple programs in Windows XP Professional. Set up the computer so that the two operating systems so that I can choose the one I want to start? If so, how can I do it? Mode XP of Windows 7 is not a true XP environment because it does not have the Microsoft JVM program (Machine Visual Java) or installed it will be format FAT 32 discs (this does nor appear to be the same as exFAT). I need to restore files backed up using a program that does not recognize NTFS formatted. Can someone help, please?

    It's been a while since I used XP Mode and I don't remember all the details, but I remember that you will not be able to attach a USB device if it is connected to the host computer using a USB 3.0 port.

    You can share a USB device that is attached to a USB 3.0 port (or at least, you can do this with a flash drive USB;) I don't know about printers or scanners).

    I don't know about you, but I suspect that unlike a printer or a scanner, USB flash drive must be attached to the virtual machine rather than share the XP Mode and the host operating system.

    You connect the scanner to the same USB port that he was using before move you things?  If you unplug the USB port on the scanner, look at the plastic insert in the port: if it's black, it of 2 USB and click OK. If it's blue, it's USB 3.0 and it will not work in XP mode.

If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it.

  • Firefox started running slow after the removal of my story. I tried to reinstall a new profile, and finally a new installed Windows. Now, I have the same problem

    I have tried everything I can think of, even to reinstall windows to correct the problem. Nothing solves the problem. It all started after clearing the cache of the browser. Text appears at least 15 seconds after I start typing, pages take a long time to load, if I click on something, it takes 15 seconds to show any response. If Firefox is on the screen, the mouse moves more slowly. Everything worked perfectly right, until I deleted the browser cache. Anyone have any ideas?

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • Can I have Windows Defender and Avast on the same computer?

    If I have Windows Defender, I need avast on my computer too?

    Hello

    Yes, Windows Defender is an antispyware program if you need an antivirus as well.

    --------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • I use firefox on a computer with Windows XP and Ubuntu, with the card-Firefox profile in a separate, partition do not have to remove the 'blocking of parent' whenever I want to use Firefox.

    I have Firefox in the Windowspartition of my computer and the Linuxpartition from my computer, I have a third partition where I store my personal data, such as my Firefox-profile-map and my download card.
    If I'm not manually delete 'Parent Lock' Firefox will not start it is already an open session.
    It would be better not to have this system of parentlock.

    It would be better to use two separate profiles for each operating system and synchronize data between the two, because there can be other problems as well with the caches that use current versions of Firefox and other files that store the paths of dependent files of the OS.
