Attempting dual boot - adding Windows 7 to existing Ubuntu laptop
Sooooo. Here's my frustration.
I have a laptop with Ubuntu 14 installed on a SSD.
I have a second drive 1TB, with nothing on it, that I want to install Windows 7 to.
I've partitioned and formatted the 2nd drive with Gparted to be DOS and NTFS, flagged one partition as BOOT.
Restart - boot from WIN disc. Follow the instructions up to picking which partition to install to. NONE of the partitions will let me install to them. OK.
SO I found tutorials on how to format and partition the drives in the CMD window. Did this. Followed all the instructions. STILL Windows will not let me install to any of the partitions in the choice window.
I get the error: Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.
Help please?
