A reason I originally had this in absolute beginners forum.... I don't know how to install other than to insert the disk into the drive. I put the DVD in the drive and click F12. Sometimes it works....

I have tried and tried to install Win7. I keep getting the same message (#9).

Next I tried to install VirtualBox again. I had to reinstall Ubuntu to make sure I had the 64 bit, since my DVD says...

It says "No such file or directory"

Putting in previously mentioned code requests my password, but it is not accepting it. I know what my password is. When I go to the boot/setup section (BIOS...

I have the 64 bit Ubuntu 12.10. I added VirtualBox from the Software Center. I added Windows 7 using the recommended nsettings. When I click on it I get the following message

I was certain I had the 64 bit installed and that's what it says in System Settings Details, but all I'm finding is a 32 bit disk. The version I currently have is from the updates, and frankly, it's...

There's no free space because it's in Ubuntu format and yes the format button actually is grayed out.

1.) After a lot of clicking, I finally was able to get to a place where I had the option to format, but I didn't really have it. It's nonfunctional.

There is a reason I'm asking about this in the Absolute Beginners Section.

I want to do a clean install. I want to put Windows 7 back and install Ubuntu as WUBI because I have about 4 programs...

I have several programs I need to use and they do not have Linux versions and there is nothing more I can try to get them to work on Ubuntu. I decided I had to re-install windows, but when I tried,...

Cute little computer is useless because it can't update my old xp disk and it won't install my current Windows 7 disk.

Won't install 64 bit OS which is what I have, but I discovered I still have my XP disk, so I'm installing that and it seems to be working!

OMG!!! A little computer on my computer! It's working!!!

Switched to 7-32 and got past that point. It didn't automatically go to the CD-ROM drive but I selected it and now I'm getting this message!

I'm trying virtualbox again, so we'll see.

Weird things continue to happen, though. My auto updates started up again after a week of need to update manually. But last night when I went to check to...

I need to use some programs that simply won't work with Ubuntu. Specifically at the moment, my Dragon speech recognition.

It won't work in Wine. I've tried several times to install it with that...

I can't find anything to...

DUH!! Solution = reboot!

Finally had my brother, visiting from the opposite coast, take a look at it. He put everything on the drive into a folder and now it's fine. Apparently there was an auto run on the drive and it ran...

I tried to do a search for this, but everything was about Windows, not windows (what else do I call them?).

I had a folder and my mail set up side by side, a la Windows 7, and now I no longer am...
