I just came browsing, Really nice tutorial for whoever wants to dual boot on their PCs. Clear and to the point ! I, on the other hand decided to stick with Windows on my personal computer, and Linux on the work computer :D
Abhishek, I have followed your Linux Installation instruction videos and it is Amazing its all good. You tell us the Truth, there are some videos which gives all bogus stuff but you are an Amazing guy, thank you Abhishek keep it up
Those who are getting grub install error, do one thing aditionally create a efi file of 100mb while creating portion in root directory. Everything works fine for my hp laptop. It's been 2 days since I tried to install ubuntu while windows 11 on dual boot mode with ssd and hdd side by side. This guy's video worked but I had to create a efi file before creating root. It works fine for me.
@@Itsfoss Hey, I've followed every step that's been done here, but after removing the installation medium and downloading ubuntu, I still am not able to see the GRUB menu and the laptop opens up the windows OS. How do I fix that?
Nice tutorial. As we know everyone is upgrading to SSD, can you please make video on how to move dual booted (windows 10 + ubuntu 18/20 ) from larger HDD to smaller SSD in the best way keeping the Data Partitions on HDD and moving only system partitions(GPT configuration) I'm currently adding smaller SSD. Any suggestions here?
Yes you can, just go to the partitions window and free up some more space, then, select where you have Ubuntu and just expand the storage with the freed-up space
Hello bro , i have a question , i have windows 10 in ssd and and i want to install ubuntu in hdd , i maked the partition of 35gb in hdd and i want to install it in , since my windows 10 is in ssd and also its boot loader also , what and how many partations (/ , /home, and swap , boot loader) i have to make in my 35gb hdd partation in order to install ubuntu and dual boot both os ??? Please help me , i am really confused and really need help 😢❤😢❤❤
You said that the swap file is directly under the root partition in newer Ubuntu versions, so we don't need to separately create a swap file. Does it stand true for Linux mint also?
I’ve a 128gb SSD (20gb free only) and 1TB HDD built in my laptop. Can I go with the 2nd option of installing Linux completely on HDD ? Linux mint is light OS so the OS itself will run smooth right ? If good, then can you please tell me the guide to do so ?
After spending 6 hours now installation is successfull👍🏻.. I take long time because after restarting USB option is not shown but after spending few hours in BIOS setting now I will get success.... Thank you so much for this Video🙏🏻 .... Sir please a make a separate Video to troubleshoot this problem 🙏🏻
No option is coming as use device in the menu... also tried from boot menu and ther also bootable usb is not shown.. it may be related to secure booting settings , how can i correct it ?
Bro so i wanna install some games on ubuntu and want them to run on ssd so that they are faster but u made the home partition in hdd. What to do if i want some storage on ssd as well
Get this error after using a month dual boot ubuntu not booting up " sda7 clean 456666 blocks" and laptop doesn't have any graphic card it runs on internal Intel HD graphics Windows is running fine only problem with ubuntu
In my case, I've already dual boot on a single SSD, then I want to upgrade my laptop by adding HDD, now how can I configure that. (SSD for is, and HDD for storing data is common sense)
You want the HDD to be for data storage only and use it between the two operating systems? You can go to Windows and add the HDD as NTFS partition. Now, you should be able to access this NTFS partition from Linux as well. You'll have to do special effort for auto mounting it though.
Hmm... that's too small a space for both Windows and Ubuntu to function properly. I mean Windows itself will take 25-30 GB. You may try creating an additional /boot partition for Linux with 6-8 GB of space on SSD. Keep / and home on HDD. I haven't tried it myself but this should give you some boost while booting Linux.
The attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in SCS12 (0,0,0), partition #2 (sdb) at /boot/efi failed. You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu. I'm getting this error
I have linux installed on SSD (both boot and home directory) . Do I need to re-install entire linux to do the steps said in the video? Or can I use GPart on Linux to set disk space manually itself? Pls guide me
Ubuntu not detecting partition during installation, so I haven't done installation. Please help me with this. I followed whole process as you explained.
I have one clerification- What is the use/necessity of selecting drives on both disks (HDD & SDD) in "device for boot loader installation"? It looks like we are consuming some space on both disks for a single ubuntu installation. What will happen if You are selecting drive from only one disk on which windows is not installed (1TB disk in this case)? Please reply. .........Thank you...
Installed Ubuntu on another empty partition of harddisk where windows was not installed but chosen bootloader on sda1. Now bootloader is showing win10 while loading bootloader bit, windows is not booting. Is there any way to replace bootloader from that place to another?
I have a laptop of 256gb ssd and 1tb hdd,so i am thinking to follow this video to install linux,but i have a doubt regarding the part between 7:30 &7:40,where you switch the device for boot intsallation from 128gb to 1tb disk,but i am told that we have to keep device for boot installation unchanged to the disk where windows os is installed or else it will create another efi on hdd that will Slow your boot ,Make debugging hard later if something goes wrong and we would have to go into boot menu to boot ubuntu,please guide me regarding device for boot installation
Thank you for this video. I have purchased a new laptop which has a 250 GB SSD (disk 1) and a 1TB HDD (disk 0). The laptop is preinstalled with Windows 10 in the SSD. I want to Install Ubuntu (I prefer 18.04 LTS) in the HDD (disk 0). My plan is to make two ntfs partitions (say D and E drive) of 500 GB for windows OS in HDD and make an unallocated space of 500 GB in the HDD where I will install the Ubuntu (root and home in the HDD). Actually I do not want to disturb the C drive (or SSD). Will there be any issue after installing Ubuntu on the HDD? I am a bit worried whether, after finishing installation, I will be able to see the black/purple grub screen with the option to boot into Ubuntu and Windows. Could you please answer/explain me . Best regards.
What if window is installed in ssd and linux is installed on hdd because for me its not working i guess its because This problem depends on how you use an SSD and HDD on one computer. You can install OS and Apps on the SSD while setting the HDD as storage. If you want to have a faster loading speed, you can choose an SSD. If your computer needs more space to store files, you can choose an HDD

in my both disk(ssd and hdd) ubuntu is completely installed by mistake and i use only linux on ssd drive and i want to remove ubuntu from hdd and want to merge this hdd drive in my home of my ubuntu i used in sdd for space.
Well... here's what I advice to do. Copy the useful content of home directory from Ubuntu on HDD to that in SSD. When you are logged on Ubuntu on SSD, run update grub so that this Ubuntu controls the Grub. Have a live USB of Ubuntu ready with you (in case you have to fix boot). It will be a good idea to make sure that Ubuntu on SSD is controlling grub and is the main OS in grub. When you are in Ubuntu on SSD, use Gparted or some other tool to delete the Ubuntu partition on HDD. You then add it as ext4 partition to store additional data.
Thanks for the amazing tutorial! Just and question.. what will happen incase I update windows, or some BIOS update from my windows dell provider. Will it remain as it is?
Usually, yes. In some rare cases, Windows becomes default again. In that case, you can go into the BIOS settings and boot into Linux and then update grub. But that doesn't happen often.
I just want to install the linux in my hdd. Cause I don't want to interfere in Windows boot which is installed on ssd. Can I completely install linux in the hdd and can change linux distro later without interfering Windows partitions in ssd?
