Hey guys, thanks for joining me. Today, We're going to be installing Ubuntu alongside
our Windows installation, on our actual hard drive. So, you're gonna need a few
things for this, first you're gonna need a USB disk drive, I recommend 8 GB's
or larger, and you also need a program called unetbootin. So, to get that
program open a web browser and type in unetbootin.sourceforge.net. When
you to this page
download the Windows version, and I'm going to select open. Now, while this is downloading I
want you to plug your USB drive in. Once it's in, right click on your Start Menu icon,
this should be the same for every version of Windows since Windows XP, when
you right-click it you should get a menu and there should be disc management in that
menu. So, click on that and we're going to format our USB drives in order
to be able to install the ISO image of a Ubuntu on it, which we downloaded in
the first video. So, you're gonna see a lot of things, actually you're probably
only going to see a few things because you haven't yet done any formatting to your
hard drive. So, what you should see is a few smaller, a few smaller partitions at
the beginning of your hard disk, and then a very large C drive, which should be
in NTFS. That's your Windows partition.
Mine has already got some partitions here from previous Ubuntu installations. We're not
going to worry about the disk 0 right now, because that's not what we're focusing on.
First, we need to find our USB stick, you can usually find that by the size of the
device, and right click on it and click format. You can name it anything you
like, the important thing is that the file system must be FAT32 in order to
boot from the USB stick. So, make sure that selected, leave everything else and
I recommend checking to perform a quick format, otherwise it's
going to take a while. So, leave that checked. No it's going to format, it should
happen pretty quickly, and then what we're going to do is once it's done, you
actually need to unplug it. So, remove from the USB port, and then put it back in. What this is
gonna do is mount it so that unetbootin can see it. I got a notification here that
says it's the F drive, so it's already selected. So, I don't need to do anything
here. I need to select disk image because that's going to specify the ISO image
that we're gonna burn to the USB disc drive. So, hit this button over here and browse to the
file you want to install. Mine is in downloads, Ubuntu.
This is the same ISO image we downloaded in the first video, it's the
same one that we installed in VirtualBox, and we're gonna be using it now as well. So,
select it and hit open. Now if your drive is blank because you took the disk, the USB disk out
and put it back in, all you have to do is toggle this over to hard disk, and then
back to USB Drive it should find it. You should have a list here, make sure you
choose the appropriate one, and then hit OK. It's going to start the burning process onto the
USB disc, and this is gonna take a little bit, it should take five minutes or so. I will be
back when mine has successfully burned. So, when it completes you should see this screen
and it's going to prompt you to reboot now, or exit. Now it's important to do one
thing before you reboot your computer. Windows does has a feature called fast
start-up, that's gonna interfere with your ability to access the Windows drive.
So, we are gonna need to repartition the Windows drive, so we need access to it
from Ubuntu. Now how fast start-up works, is basically when you shut down your
computer normally, your computer doesn't fully shut down, and so there's still
things running or at least in a saved state. So, it's like hibernation. So, we need to
change how that works. So, what you're gonna do is right click on your battery icon,
and click power options.
Gonna go to change plan settings here, and then on the bottom click change
advanced power settings. That's not where we need to go at all, sorry about that.
Cancel out of here, all right here it is. So, on the left hand side
choose what the power button
does, and then change settings that are currently unavailable, and this will
allow us to change the settings down here. Now this should be checked unless
you've manually turn off already.
What you want to make sure is that this is unchecked, and then hit save changes. So,
feel free to either
reboot now, or exit and manually restart the computer.
