was trying to install lubuntu 16.04 on my brothers acer aspire 5253-bz846 with amd radeon hd6250 graphics, amd dual core c-50 processor yesterday but had no option to install it along side windows 7. haven't ever seen that happen before. it ran perfectly fine without installing it and ran much better than windows 7.
i haven't messed with resizing or partitioning in ages and didn't really want to risk losing his stuff. i did try it some what though but windows reported it had errors and to do a chkdsk, which i did both the quick check where it only checks 3 stages and the full check where it checks all 5 stages. it didn't find any errors though! i did a chkdsk using the live dvd also and it found nothing too.
don't really know what else i can say or do about this, but after seeing how well it ran using the live disc, it would've been really sweet to have been able to install lubuntu.
as a side question, what ever happened to that wubi tool that let you install linux using that?
any help would really be appreciated although i have to give him his laptop back today.
thank you
