Take the 2-minute tour ×  I just attempted to install Ubuntu
12.04 on my other computer. I downloaded the .iso file, burned
it to a disc, and booted from it. Before I continue, I might add
that I already have an OS on this computer (Windows 7) and was
attempting to install Ubuntu alongside it.  So, I selected my
language, and clicked "Install Ubuntu" when the screen popped
up. The window changed and said that I didn't have any operating
system installed, what did I want to do? It gave me the option
to wipe the disk and install Ubuntu, or "something else." I
clicked "something else" and setup two partitions on my hard
disk for Ubuntu, one for the system files and one for the swap
area. These two partitions were created in Win7. I just changed
the file systems and mounted one of them with "/."  Then I
clicked install, everything was going well, and then it said I
had to restart my computer to use Ubuntu. So I restarted, and
then the Windows logo appeared for a second, then it started the
startup repair tool. So
