Shift windows data onto the installing Ubunto
- Thread starter Ryhan
- Start date
Cheers for the reply.
It started that I turned off the power via the power button. Sometimes I had to do this to get certain things to work correctly. Anyway, once restarted it would go to the 'safety mode, start windows normally' screen, I would select one of the options and itwould just loop and go back to the same screen. The copy of windows was a counterfeit xp/vista.
I freaked out for a day or so cause of losing my stuff, but then my mate suggested Ubuntu. So I downloaded this off of another computer and wrote it to disk and then put it through my computer, it all uploaded successfully and read my Windows hard drive, bit can't really 'use' anything cause presumably I haven't properly installed Ubunto yet. So first thing was first was to upload everything to my external hard drive, which I'm currently doing but it's being seriously slow, like 350 hours for my music... So I'm transferring something else now.
So I wondered if I did a joint installation with Ubunto, I could still access the Windows hard drive. And not completely lose my data.
I can't even access the Internet on it cause its having a problem with working withthe wireless dongle thing I have
