Thread: No option to install Ubuntu Alongside Windows 7 (installing each OS on separate SSDs)

-

hi y'all,

here system configuration far hard drives go:

1 128gb crucial c300 (~90gb of 120 used windows, applications, etc)
1 128 gb samsung 830 (0gb of 128 used)
3 hdds, 500gb, 1.5tb, 2tb (for media , documents)

, here's rest of system:
i5-2500k
p67 ud4
16gb ddr3 1600 cl9
2x ati 7970
blue ray drive (this how i'm installing ubuntu)

got samsung 830 yesterday, , excited put ubuntu on it. plan c300 hold windows , 830 hold ubuntu 11.10

first, tried disconnecting drives except 830 , installing ubuntu itself. worked great, when attached other hard drives again, kept getting "read error" failures. no biggie; googled problem , seems should keep hard drives installed way boot loader can load on c300 (since primary drive according bios).

connected , went install ubuntu. @ point, still had "install alongside" option. however, let me choose 1 of hdds install on. there no option @ install ubuntu on 830.

unplugged of hdds, hoping force installer choose 830. well...then lost "install alongside" option! options write on windows 7, , custom one. after reconnect 3 hdds system, still no longer have "install alongside" option.

did wrong?

edit: additional info. installing using ahci, not ide.

update: on whim, decided burn .iso installer.

got option install alongside back!

but...it let me install ubuntu on 1 of hdds. try click on looks dropdown has 500gb hdd selected , highlight text in orange. think clicking there woudl allow me choose other drives? :/ what's going on?

how to devide a circle into equal parts

-
how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
