Line 77 shows sda1 as esp, line 90 shows it as a vfat filesystem and sda is your 279GB drive. Line 97 shows an EFI partition on sdb2. Line 107 shows a FAT32 (vfat) partition on partition one of...
Your output shows sda1 as /boot/efi and as a vfat filesystem. If you have windows installed in Legacy mode, there is no reason to have an efi partition. A default install of windows on a Legacy...
The link below explains using ppa-purge. If you have a name of a specific package you installed from a ppa, you can simply comment out that line in the file: /etc/apt/sourdes.list by putting a hash...
If the files you want to copy are on sda1 as iyou indicate above, then you also need to find out which drive/partition the new Ubuntu is on if you are still using the DVD. If you can boot into the...
You will need to explain what you mean by the above statement, what's different?
Writing/copying to any location outside your /home/user directory generally requires root permissions, use...
Reading the official Ubuntu Documentation on the subject at the link below before trying to install again should answer your questions.

The ls info from Grub does show the Ubuntu drive as (hd3,gpt5) so use the method you describe in your initial post to boot Ubuntu. Remove any flash drives and run sudo update-grub. The output you...
If your root filesystem is on sdc5 then that is the correct entry. Grub2 counts hard drives from zero so sdc would be hd2 and partitions are counted from 1.
Your boot repair is minimal and is...
Have you tried going to a root shell prompt as show in one of the images you posted and running the ppa-purge command suggested in an image you also posted?
The first link you posted simply shows how to create a bootable usb of Ubuntu. In the 2nd link it explains how to install. In step 7 of the tutorial, did you select the Something Else option shown...
You can be sure of that by copying and pasting the following into a terminal and looking at the otuput:

How many hard drives do you have attached?
Could you post the output of either/both commands below which will show actual information on the drives?

I have two HP laptops, one about 4 years old and one is a few months old. Both are UEFI. I have never updated the firmware on either and have had no problems installing various Linux Operating...
Need more space for what? Your windows system partition is 232GB and your Ubuntu system partition is over 306GB plus a second Linux partition of over 370GB. sda3 and sda7 are contiguous so you...

No. As pointed out above (in 2 separate posts) what you set using GParted is irrelevant. You need to use the manual option (Something Else) and select the partition you want for /home in the...
The first step would be to boot into windows 7 and use the disk management tool to shrink the largest windows partition to leave unallocated space for Ubuntu. If the computer BIOS is Legacc (not...
Apparently, the OP has left but for those who come acroos this thread in the furture, the size of the drive shown with software used on the system is generally less than what is shown by the...
If the error you are referring to is the one above, that is in reference to the flash drive you are using and is unrelated to your hard drive with windows and Ubuntu.
You can rename the entry for...
No, it isn't. My post stated spedifically that "the windows installer will give you an error message if you try and inform you that it will not proceed". You go on to talk about windows to go which...
After doing this and rebooting, were you able to successfully boot into windows 7? A newer version of windows will generally overwrite the boot files of an older windows.

Windows is designed by microsoft not to install to a USB and the windows installer will give you an error message if you try and inform you that it will not proceed. An OEM license for windows is...
20-30GB should be enough for / (root filesystem) but that all depends upon how much new software you install. Thee /home partition will contain most user data so is generally a larger partition. ...
