I have an old laptop Asus G74Sx originally Windows 7 upgraded to Windows 10
Disk /dev/sda: 256.17 GiB, 275064201216 bytes, 537234768 sectors
Disk model: Crucial_CT275MX3
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x1db352ee
The Ubuntu installer does not recognize the Windows installation.
In Linux I have tried a straight dd transfer of the iso to the USB drive.
I tried in Windows using Rufus to write a MBR USB bootable disk but this fails with a kernel panic about `init` not found.
I want to keep the Windows partition because this is the only Windows machine I have. 2 desktops and 2 laptops all Linux. Then this one
Is there anyway to make this happen.
Eventually I want to move it all to SSD. Is it possible to clone the Windows drive to a SSD and create a gpt partition for the Ubuntu installer.
What options do I have?
