My ThinkPad t430 has installed two systems, win7+ubuntu11.10. Due to the needs of the project, 11.10 systems and related environments need to be retained, but also want to install ubuntu12.04, the original hard disk capacity is tight, so bought a 120GB mSATA interface SSD, installed on its ubuntu12.04 64bit, during which encountered a lot of problems.
1, new SSD identification problem. Installed on the SSD, found in the Win7 in the "computer" is not shown in the USB boot disk in the win PE can not be displayed. This may be the reason why the new disk is not formatted. Workaround: In Win7, start the Disk Management in Computer Management to format the new hard drive.
2, installation disk production. Two methods, one is to burn the system ISO to a CD-ROM, then run with light drive boot, the second is the USB boot disk. I am using the latter. Linux-based USB boot disk maker Uui here.
3. Problems encountered during installation.
One, grub rescue problem. Install 64-bit system, reboot after installation, no entry system, appeared "Error:invalid Arch indepent ELF Magic." Grub Rescue> ". At this point, Yasuteru This tutorial, reinstall the GRUB2 from the USB drive.
A second problem was encountered after rebooting: Minimal bash ..... After rebooting or stuck in grub, this time shows the Minimal BASH like line editing is supported. for the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.
