Experience summary of installing Linux-ubuntu into a mobile hard drive __linux

Want to play Ubuntu, but also inseparable from Win7, the landlord has two pieces of mobile hard disk, learned that can be installed to the mobile hard disk, the landlord can't help but want to try. After a day of tossing and going, finally got it. On the Internet to see an article let me go a lot of detours. To get to the ground, I'll just say the procedure roughly. Because the landlord did not have screenshots, had to search on the Internet some other people's diagram used, anyway, does not affect the explanation.

Make u disk Startup disk I use the soft disk pass UltraISO, this software has installed version of also has the green version, I downloaded is the green version. I started my mobile hard drive on the Win7 before I turned on the soft disk. My hard drive has 320G, but I just want to take out 90G space to install Ubuntu, the rest of the space when the storage disk, so I first in Win7 the hard disk into two parts, part of the 90G size of the "unused" (as if this name, the landlord remember not too clear, anyway is idle meaning) part , this part is not recognized under the Win7, that is, you double-click on the desktop "computer", do not see this section, this Part I will be used to install Ubuntu. There is also a portion of more than 200 g, still NTFS-formatted, Win7 under recognition. See my other blog post how to win7 the hard drive with its own features.

Open the soft disk, open Ubuntu's mirrored file (. iso), and then "start"----"Write to Hard disk image", the diagram interface appears, "Write to" select "Usb-hdd+", and "easy to start" option fourth, that is, "write new hard drive master boot record (MBR)----" Usb-hdd+ ", (landlord began to see an article on the Internet, must choose to" write new drive boot Sector "-" syslinux ", otherwise there will be errors, but the landlord test, this will make mistakes. Even adjust the BIOS boot sequence, u disk installation interface are not going to, will report "Boot error", so go a long detour, maybe the reason for computer hardware, anyway, in my computer to choose the fourth successful. Then click "Write", wait for write completion, U disk installation disk on the successful production. The same is true of the setup disk that made the Win7, but XP does not support this installation. Therefore, do not install XP in this way. If you install XP with a U disk, it seems to be using PE, the landlord basically did not use XP, so XP is not familiar.

Below, it's time to go to the formal installation steps. Plug the U disk into the computer, first adjust the computer's starting media priority, that is, into the BIOS adjustment (different computers, enter the way may be different, please enter according to their own computer. Usually when the computer starts, frequently press F2, F12 or delete key, press F10 will save, exit and restart, after reboot, if there is no accident, will enter the U disk, began to install. For reference, click to open the link here. I'll just talk about my experience.

In this step, it is important to note that the system is installed on the entire hard disk or installed in a specially designated 90G space. If you mistakenly select the entire hard drive, the program will divide your entire hard drive (I guess the data will all be lost), part of the swap area you've specified, the USR area, and so on, and the other part is all that remains. If you want to install in the deliberately reserved 90G space, you must select that part, at this time, this part will have +,-number, + number on behalf of the creation of new partitions, such as you can

Assign size to USR, allocate size for swap, and so on. This is a critical step, you will lose the data, the entire hard drive is formatted. So, if really not familiar with the words, you can take a U disk when the mobile hard drive to practice practicing again.
