Thread: issues with dual boot after windows 8

-

back story:
-im using windows 7 right now, , wish dual boot ubuntu
-ive used ubuntu before through wubi. off machine of
- have live/install cd ubuntu on made
-i had dual boot of windows 8 , windows 7, windows 8 gone, partition it
-ive been on irc, not 100% sure how resolve issue

after taking windows 8 off machine , running windows 7, put ubuntu disk in, , following options "install ubuntu alongside of windows 8, replace windows 8, advanced options" think boot issue, question this: if choose "install alongside of windows 8, loose current/only os (windows 7) or grub calling windows 7, windows 8?

not want loose windows 7 os , data

ok, i'm guessing bit, have seen several times ubuntu side of things incorrectly identifies windows install. on machine, instance, grub thinks vista install windows recovery. suspect seeing windows 8 in fact win7 installation.

boot live environment cd , use partitioning program gparted have @ drive. post screen shot here people can have @ , offer advice.

if can boot win7, , can see 1 windows partition in gparted, pretty sure thing the installer identifying wrongly.

don't need tell idea important before install. idea in case, in situation more so.
