Dual Booting Problems :(
zachman61
Well when trying to dual boot via a USB it loads fine but it trys to install over my windows 7 when trying to save it along side.
It also just shuts down the computer randomly which doesn't happen on my Windows 7 so its not a power supply problem.
Any help?

No problem. I advise you get all the additional software (that is if you're installing Ubuntu 11.04, and it says it in the installer). Not it's not necessarily software, but it'll install flash, and everything so you don't haft to. Also I recommend installing the updates to while you're installing the os from the cd, or flash drive.

Hi, it seems that my laptop's charger is what keeps shutting my computer off when installing because if it stop charging for a single second it seems that Ubuntu Shuts down to stop installing?

You're having a hardware issue, not a software issue. I haft to leave my charger plugged in otherwise my battery will die withing 2 minutes, cause it's old. Just get your battery replaced, and you should be good.
