how can i install two linux distros in my hard drive beside windows
Hi, these are my partitions https://photos-3.dropbox.com/t/0/AAA...80&size_mode=2
the first one for windows xp, and the ext4 for ubuntu, i installed linux mint in the free space, but when the pc booted it only asked me to boot with ubuntu or windows, should i make a dev/sda3 partition? or how else can i have ubuntu, win and mint? thanx and sorry for my bad english q: |
Dropbox I can't access without an account. Can you paste the output of fdisk -l?
If it's an old MSDOS partition table, you can have a maximum of four primary paritions, and Windows must be on a primary partition. Linux does not have such a restriction. What do you mean by install Mint in the free space? In the free space of a logical partition? Maybe installing/updating grub when you installed linux Mint failed. |
boot in Ubuntu then in terminal type
Code:
sudo update-grub Once is done running reboot your computer and post back how did it go. |
Did you update grub2 with an entry for Mint? If not, you will not see it as a choice.
You will need to boot into ubuntu to update grub2. |
thanx it was solved by
