Hello friends,
I recently purchased a new Toshiba Satellite, which comes with the hideous and horrible Windows 8 pre-installed. I am not too sure exactly what "pre-installed" means in this case... it is true that the Windows 8 operating system seems to load very fast upon starting the computer.
Of course, I immediately created a live USB with a 64 bit Ubuntu ISO and very happily attempted to install Ubuntu with the idea of not deleting the stupid Microsoft product, but instead to use a Dual Boot.
Dual Boot has worked beautifully in many other computers which I have used before... nevertheless, in this case the problem is that the Ubuntu installer DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE EXISTENCE OF WINDOWS !!!
Then, what does this mean? If I install Ubuntu will the Windows be deleted? How is it possible to install a dual boot?
What are the experiences of other users regarding this issue?
Thank you !!!
