Hi All,

I have just reinstalled windows and now I want to install linux and ubuntu.

Should I install it on same drive as windows or a different one ?

What are advantages and disadvantages of both methods ?

I am waiting eagerly for the reply as only then I can proceed further.

Thanks

Thanks Bro,

Actually I think linux has been already been unistalled /deleted as I have formatted the internal drive.

So it is a clean install.I have installed Windows on C drive,should I now install linux on the same C drive as that of Windows or another drive ?

Please do reply soon as I am waiting.

Bro, you can use Wubi installer and if you are using Wubi installer follow the guide which I've shared.. and if you are installing on your own install in another drive

In my opinion it's better to install linux on separate Drive. I Don't like Wubi method. If you want to run Linux inside Windows by using Wubi then why don't you use Virtual Box instead. It is much better and safe way than Wubi.

But if you want to run linux with full potential then install it separately.

Thanks for your opinion.

I think I have already informed in my previous post few days back that my internal dvd drive is not working,so I have to rely on the asus usb external dvd drive.

So which option to choose for booting from ubuntu dvd ?

I will first try to install Lubuntu in a seperate internal drive as suggested by guys earlier.

Thanks for the suggestions.
