Sorry, let me clarify what I meant - that specific version of Ubuntu from Sourceforge comes with utilities bundled with the Live CD which we need (specifically the GParted Utility). When you attempt to install Windows alongside and existing Linux installation it will delete your Linux partition(s) and format the entire drive for itself. We use GParted utility with this Live CD to divide and make a separate partition for Windows NTFS filesystem to dual boot Windows without erasing Linux first.

why the need to download the other ubuntu iso from sourceforge?

Running Windows 7 in Linux Mint 13 and Ubuntu with Oracle Virtual Box

This video shows you how to run windows 7 in Linux Mint 13 or Ubuntu using Oracle's Virtual Box. //www.the-wordpress-warrior.com.

It's going to automatically create the virtual box on the same hard drive that linuxmint is installed on. Plus you need a genuine copy of windows 7 to install it in the virtual box.

John Cardell commented on 30 Nov 2012

It works perfect and very clean. The only flaw is that you seem to have to re share the folder every time.

How to Install Windows or Linux on a Netbook

How to Install Windows or Linux on a Netbook In this video I will show you how to install Linux Zorin OS 7 on your netbook or notebook These laptops don't ...

Rave Yoda commented on 15 Aug 2013

In some ways yes. One of Zorin's nicer features is it has an in system desktop switcher which makes the environment look a lot like Win 7, OS X, or Ubu with Unity. Its larger Iso size is a bit of a turn off for me personally. I've only tried it out once and thought it a bit bloated. Zorin is designed to try to fit the needs of a newbi coming from Windows so if you are one then it might suit you. I'd recommend trying Linux Mint Mate edition rather than Zorin....

ubermacher commented on 15 Aug 2013

Hi Brian, I have a question that you most likely know how to answer. I have this netbook that I was fixing and all went fine, but netbook always starts with media partition instead of going straight to windows and I have hard time to figure it out how to make it right. In bios or disk management there is no option to make windows booting first preferable. Any ideas?

Ikram232 commented on 16 Aug 2013

Hey, Brian. Forget the video I asked for, you can make it if you want but I don't need it anymore, I have replaced Windows XP with Zorin OS. But, how do you boot to Zorin automatically. It keeps on asking which should I choose. Boot Zorin, Advanced Options for Zorin, MEMTEST (I think). I want Zorin to automatically to boot!

kjemradio commented on 10 Sep 2013

Zorin looks cool, but I am not a fan of Linux distros that make you pay/donate for business class or gaming set ups. It's why I hate Red Hat, and SuSE distros because they got away from the FREE world (yes I know there is Fedora and a free version of SuSE, but they are stripped down).

Ikram232 commented on 15 Aug 2013

yeah, but 2 reason i don't wanna just create a partition and install it on that. 1) once I select Install alongside Windows, it thinks it is Windows 8. 2) I heard that some people are saying 'once they installed Zorin, It showed Windows but I would not work'! So I don't know

Ikram232 commented on 15 Aug 2013

I want to do this, but the problem is that when I select install alongside windows, it thinks it is Windows 8. But I use XP. That's why I want to see a video on how to dual boot Windows XP (XP!!) and Zorin OS.

Talgat Sakhtaganov commented on 27 Aug 2013

Hey Brian why don't you use Daemon tools in order to virtually clone driveand then install any operating system. It worked for me. I think it's easier. Like this please so that everyone can see this

Waltraut Riegger (Traudi) commented on 09 Nov 2015

Thank you, your YouTube video was helpful and very easy to follow. It is so straight forward and easy that unless you're a total idiot this video makes it very easy to follow.

danielgartin6993 commented on 15 Aug 2013

How long did it take you to download Zorin,because I just got my copy today and it took 5 hours,failed then I tried again with another mirror,it took 1 hour and worked!

ricky magoo commented on 15 Aug 2013

heres one for you .... how the hell do I install Linux distros ona dell studio 1909 with NVidia graphics ,it just doesn't wana do it,tryed every Linux and every method

Russell Cox commented on 15 Aug 2013

Possibly the most mentions of the word 'little' in a Youtube video that I have seen Enjoyed it though, currently in the middle of building a linux desktop machine

Rave Yoda commented on 15 Aug 2013

XD Mint is legit good. I'm currently running an Ubuntu base install with my own selection of software rather than go strictly Ubuntu. It works quite well. =]

Stevia Lov commented on 15 Aug 2013

I put Ubuntu on my netoook. everytime I close lid and lift it up again the screen goes funny colours so I have to restart the computer up again.

Graham Dean commented on 01 Jun 2015

Thanks for your help - I managed to install Linux on my Acer Aspire One 722 alongside Windows 7 even though I'm not technically savvy.

TheMrBorderless commented on 15 Aug 2013

If you want to install linux, LinuxLive is probably the best for you. Windows also provide a tool for you. Thks for the tuto.

AnimeBeefChannel2 commented on 15 Aug 2013

Depends what you want/like. Search up "Elementary OS Luna" and watch the vid to see if you like,

Britec09 commented on 15 Aug 2013

OK I see if I can do a video on it. Safe way is to make another partition and put Zorin on that.

How to Install Windows Wireless Drivers in Linux

Look simply put, Linux driver is free. The Windows Driver is proprietary. Linux is not going to load a proprietary drive unless they want to get sued. In most cases the driver has nothing to do with wireless working well or not it is the Distro u choose. There is a huge difference between Slack-ware, Arch Linux and Ubuntu... Ubuntu takes alot longer to load because u have OS that comes with a bunch of pre installed drivers that is why boot time is slow. I imagine that effects the wifi card.

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 02 Apr 2012

Ubuntu doesn't provide driver support. I mean they do in there own respect by adding in the additional driver tool, but all driver support comes from the Kernel itself, not the Operating system. That's why older Linux distributions using Kernels 2.6 and lower have a hard time running on newer hardware. Also, as for slow boot time, I have no idea what you're talking about. My Ubuntu 11.10 gets to the login screen in about 5-10 seconds, after password I'm in Unity in about two.

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 08 Mar 2012

@blackoutworm Yes, but you have to remember when it comes down to open-source vs. proprietary, proprietary will usually win. Simply because Open-Source programs are made by people in their spare time, proprietary is made by people as a full time job who get paid for it. Your system should be working as good as possible right now. If you really care about maximum usability and performance, switching back to Windows might be the way to go for you.

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 06 Mar 2012

@blackoutworm Because they can't. When making an open-source operating system they have to use open-source drivers. It's a legal thing, and an open-source thing, they can modify the open-source drivers wherein they can't modify the proprietary ones. But I find my Internet and in most cases the Windows drivers work better than the Linux drivers. Don't ask me why, just how it is.

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 11 Mar 2012

@shafnet Thank you! The mic quality was really bad in this, and I recorded it at 3AM, so it wasn't the best. Hopefully I'll have better screencast's soon. I think I'm going to wait until Ubuntu 12.04 comes out to make more, because that's when everyone is going to be coming over to Linux in opposition to Windows 8.

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 08 Jul 2012

Hardly. I don't even use Ubuntu anymore, I have been waiting on the release of Elementary Luna for ages now. I really believe it's going to one of the best Linux distro's around. I would use Mint, but I still think Cinnamon needs more work, it's a bit heavy in comparison to Cinnamon as well.

BlackoutWorm commented on 06 Mar 2012

@Live4TheGame1 Yes everything works fine. But I want my system to be as good as possible. And I also find the internet to be faster on windows in virtualbox than in linux. Isn't that odd? I mean, windows recognize the drivers via virtualbox, right?

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 31 Mar 2012

If you're a distro hopper, here's an idea. Instead of just immediately jumping to a distro, use your current distro's wireless ability and check it out in a virtualbox. Or partition a newer section of your drive for it using gParted.

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 30 Mar 2012

I'm not sure why that would be, but try hard-wiring the laptop/desktop, then remove the Windows wireless driver you installed, afterwards open 'Additional Drivers' and install the Wireless driver that appears there.

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 25 Sep 2013

Depending on the age of the laptop, the kernel may no longer contain drivers for your wireless card built into the laptop. Your best bet may be to hardwire it into your modem or seek help on the Ubuntu Forums

BlackoutWorm commented on 05 Mar 2012

Why do they preinstall linux drivers if the windows drivers work better? That's just stupid. I thought the point of making an operating system was to making as good as possible.

SomeHippyFromNV commented on 06 Mar 2012

@blackoutworm Check the additional drivers section to find any proprietary drivers your hardware might need. Other than that you should be working a-okay. :D

Jordan Koehn commented on 31 Mar 2012

the problem is i would rather not carry my desktop/monitor/cables down from my room to my basement every time i want to try a new distro.

i get this error help plz Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

Nice video! I'm considering this as a solution for my problem... ...I'm on elementary OS Freya, and can't get a Canon Pixma MG2410 scanner to work, only the printer part of the device is recognized and works well but the scanner won't be found, I tried with the Drivers from the official site and nothing. Do you think Windows XP (on the virtualbox) will recognize peripherals such as my canon scanner?

ScratchyScoot Swikerdoodle66 commented on 01 Dec 2015

I don't know how this works. I got the Ubuntu loaded up right now. Its just doing the .... thing right now. Will it take a while before I can install XP? or did I do this hole operation wrong? Please someone, anyone please tell me if I did this right.

gnaviselarom commented on 20 Sep 2012

Hi, I noticed that when you created your XP VM through virtual box you didn't set anything for networking. I'm having issues connecting to the network through my host. What was your default setting for your virtual box networking?

Ben Murphy commented on 27 Apr 2013

In ubuntu 12.10, I managed to get xp to connect to the internet simply by switching to 'Bridged Adapter' from 'NAT' in the network settings on virtualbox.
