Hard Disk installation before Ubuntu7.10 Installation

1. Download Ubuntu7.10 ISO and solve it by yourself. 2. download the boot file after downloading the Ubuntu7.10 CD image in a partition root directory (FAT32 or NTFS format can be, tested) (such as D: \ later, then download the boot file initrd.gz and vmlinuz,: http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/Ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/cu

1. Download Ubuntu7.10 ISO and solve it by yourself.

2. Download the boot file

After downloading the Ubuntu7.10 disc image, place it in the root directory of a partition (both FAT32 and NTFS formats are supported and tested) (such as D :\),

Then download the boot files initrd.gz and vmlinuz installed on the hard drive ,:

Http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/Ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media

Http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/Ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/initrd.gz

Http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/Ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/vmlinuz

Download the above two files and place them in a partition. Here we place it in C :\

C: \ initrd.gz
C: \ vmlinuz

AMD64 load here try: http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/Ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/
(Not tested, because I am not amd64)

3. Prepare the partition to use software such as the partition magician on the hard disk to separate an ext3 partition (preferably greater than 5 GB, and mine is 12 GB) as the linux Root partition,
Split a swap partition with a size of 2 times the memory (512 m is the swap zone if the memory is) as the virtual memory of linux. The most basic difference is: one/swap, one/

4. Prepare grub and boot the installation program.

Then download a grub for dos ,:

Decompress menu. lst, grldr, and grub.exe in this file to C :\,

Use Notepad (or the "WordPad" that comes with Windows) to open the menu. lst, delete the text and add the following code ("#" can be included or excluded, and "#" is used for annotation ):

Note: The (hd0, 0) in the command is not absolute. It depends on the partition and directory of your file.

Edit boot. ini. Open my computer/advanced/start and repair/set/system start/edit/

[Boot loader]

[Operating systems]
Multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \ windows = "Microsoft windows xp professional"/noexecute = optin/fastdetect
C: \ grldr = "Start Grub"

Add c: \ grldr = "Start Grub" to the last line to save and exit

Here, there are five files added later in C: \: menu. lst, grldr, grub.exe, vmlinuz, initrd.gz

After restarting, select start grub in the boot menu and then select install ubuntu to start hard disk installation.
