Troubles installing Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04 in Inspiron 17R SE
Hi folks,
I get my new Inspiron 17R Special Edition just a few days ago. And I need to install the Ubuntu to do my researches for the university. Since I needed to change the partitions I decided to install the a copy of the Windows 8 I have here.
But, something happening, when I was change the partitions installing the Win8 I couldn' t see any partition and get the error "We couldn' t load any drivers blablabla". After that, I solve this problem searching on the internet and change in the BIOS in the advanced tab the "SATA Operation" from "Intel Rapid Sto.rage" to "ATA" . Then I install the Win8 and I am not able to boot anymore. Smart as I am, I try to do "in my way" and I deleted all partitions to make my own configuration. I don' t need to say that anything else is working now.
I tried to do three 3-step restore of the Windows partition "System Reserved", but it didn' t work. Also, I tried to install the Ubuntu, but I am not able to record the bootloader in any partition.
Right now I have the partitions as follow:
HDD
350MB - System Reserved Windows
100GB - Windows Partition
750GB - File Partition
40GB - Ubuntu 12.04
8GB Unlocatted (Will be the linux SWAP)
SSD
32GB - Partition I create to try to avoid the Windows to try create the "System Reserved" partition here (I'm thinking that the boot is in the HDD).
Please, if there anything that someone could tell to help solve my problem, I'll be really thankful!
Thank you!
