Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to install Ubuntu on top of Windows 7 on my intel X-25 M G2 SSD.
I bought the SSD a while ago and installed Win 7 without partitioning it.
Soon, I got sick of worrying about the wear and tear, and chucked it into my drawer.
Instead, I installed Ubuntu on my HDD, and forgot about the SSD.
Now that I need to dual-boot because of some obscure VM-bashing ActiveX plugins,
I need to install Ubuntu on my SSD.
However, I'm overwhelmed and confused. I just have no idea how to do just that.
What steps should I take to install Ubuntu without messing up Win 7 on my SSD?
I need general pointers like align your drive, manually partition for ubuntu, and the like.
I think I can plough thorough howtos and find out necessary details.
I've been searching, but my effort was fruitless mainly because I didn't know
what was involved.
Can anyone give me a broad overview or an outline of things I need to do?
Thanks!
