Well I always use the last option, it's just that it's a little more technical than "install alongside windows" , but if you're familiar with partitioning your harddrive and all that sort of thing, you can select the last option

Thank you.

What is wrong guys, I can't install Ubuntu along with Windows 8.1 on my HP 650.

I have disabled fast boot, yet still getting the pix below.

Pls help.


Is ur PC firmware UEFI? If it is, u might have problem with dual boot. No thnks to Microsoft! If the firmware is BIOS, then things are pretty simple. I really can't read ur pic properly to see the contents as I'm typing on mobile. Wht do get from choosing "install along with windows"? Are u familiar with partitioning?

I'm having the same issues as you are. I want to dual boot my HP650 with Windows 8.1 already installed on one partition.

When I tried installing Linux Mint the installation process couldn't recognize the other disk space.
(See attached photos)

I've also tried using GParted, yet same thing.

Has anybody successfully dual booted HP650 please give me tips on how to go about this.

I'm guessing the partition table is gpt, not mbr. If you're sure secure boot is not enabled in the bios settings you can install gdisk, apparently it's a tool that can convert gpt partitions to mbr. You can install it from your Linux bootable disk

I'm installing from a USB flash drive. Can I locate the gdisk on it?

You mean you couldn't install Ubuntu alongside Windows in you HP650? So what OS are you using on it presently: Windows or Ubuntu?

Ubuntu.

It is a nice OS. If you must do this make sure you backup your Windows 8 before doing this.

Sorry for the late reply. If you have internet connection, you can install gdisk from the internet : apt-get install gdisk

Create unallocated space while on Windows then use the partition manager during installation to create your partitions.

A dual boot is possible. You'll probably need to run bootrec after you install Ubuntu to access your windows partition without hiccups

Re: Ubuntu Linux by 4llerbuntu(m): 6:16pm On Apr 22, 2016
I've been running 16.04 since Beta 2 was released.


what do you mean by 'Clean Install with previous version'?

clean install = Wipe /System partition at least.
its called clean because you clean the hard drive of previous system files. its a brand new install
