Hi team, as you see, I´m new here, I´m thinking to install ubuntu 12 in my laptop, I´m now running win 7.
I have the disk encrypted, and I don´t want to have problems with the current info that I have, and well, just asking:
1_ I was reading about some issues installing Ubuntu with win 7, can I install it from live USB and have a multiple boot (I will erase the WIN 7 partition after have the UBUNTU with all the tools that I need to work), any idea to do not fail?
2_ I have NTFS disk and PGP installed, any problem on that? what about the boot selector, will be this after or before of the PGP.
3_ I saw that I can modify the disk and use 50 Gb of the current disk, is that part dangerous for my current win 7 installation? I need my PC working with win 7 during some time.
4_ Can I install the linux and then, destroy the win 7?
Many thanks for all the help that you can give me here, I hope that in the future, I will be helping others!!!!
