Hi all,
I’ve just purchased an Acer Aspire E3 that came with Windows 8.1 with Bing.
I have a good bootable USB stick with 14.04 on it, from which I have installed
several times on different machines.
Here’s what I did:
Created unallocated space on the HDD within Windows
Booted from the USB
Clicked on “Install”
Chose “Something else” in the next dialog
Created a / partition, a “Home” partition and a Swap area.
Clicked on “Install”
The install went just like any other install that I’ve done over the last few
years.
When it finished, I clicked on the “Restart” button.
The machine restarts, and goes straight into Windows. No sign of the Ubuntu
install at all.
If I examine the HDD in Disk management within Windows, there are no formatted
partitions in the unallocated space at all.
AFAIK Windows 8.1 with Bing is no different at all to “normal” Windows 8.1 so
can anyone tell me what’s going on? (I’ve tried both with Ubuntu 14.04 and
Xubuntu 14.10 - both had the same result).
Can anyone shed any light as to what’s going on?
Cheers
Gordon
