How to make dual boot without usb? I downloaded unetbootin but when i make my harddisk as bootable disk it only shows Ubuntu version 20 series or below, but i have Ubuntu 22.04 downloaded

[@yaseensd518]

@@sanjaybalnad4180 No problem, Just leave the distribution option and check with disk image option and proceed

[@ahsanulhasanturzo8015]

This messed up my windows boot manager from bios, everytime i have to boot into windows, i have to first load ubuntu bootloader, then select windows. please make a video to fix this issue.

[@ScoutBullet]

You my friend, just made any remote working programmer wet dream come true

[@SavvyNik]

Glad to hear it

[@robertbob-manuel6327]

Really? How tho?

[@yeezybreezy9350]

​@@robertbob-manuel6327 Linux is better for coding, but lacks compatibility with a lot of windows programs, namely videogames. So if you want to play games on a Linux laptop you may have to jump through some obnoxious hoops, and some games may not even run. But with dual booting you can use Linux for coding, windows for leisure and it's a goated set up

[@mertkeles5617]

damn im using docker and i fucking hate windows already

[@AbsurdScandal]

​@@yeezybreezy9350 Eh, wouldn't undermine the amount of games Linux still supports, even if Windows supports much more - you can play quite a number of games on Linux technically speaking. Also, Linux is also good for leisure and everyday usage too, it's just Windows can do more things and can run professional programs that Linux doesnt support as of yet. Plus it's propietary software like Office has more features than Libre, though many people dont strictly need those added features either.

[@Sofien_Steve]

So clear,I've watched more than 4 videos today,this one was the clearest thank you

[@SavvyNik]

Awesome, thank you!

[@user-vz9uh3qw2o]

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH! I have been trying to install Ubuntu or Zorin, and I watched about 7 videos, but they were not clear... Then i came across yours, and it......... WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot thank you enough! Best youtuber ever!

[@coolperson8423]

If anyone gets the error "No EFI System Partition was found" when trying to install, you have to first allocate a small portion (256MB) for the EFI. Just add it before making the big partition at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="655">10:55</a>. Make sure to select EFI as the mounting point for the small partition. Then create the big on like in the video with the remaining space, and the install should work just fine.

[@Optimuseq]

No bullshit No street/cars/fridge/noise in the audio Good microphone Straight to the point THATS WHAT I LIKE :)

[@SavvyNik]

Haha thanks glad you found the vid

[@AbdoZaInsert]

fridge noise had me laughing for some reason... lol

[@GreyStreet14]

Life saver! Just well built video and clear, straight-forward explanation. Very easy to understand. Thanks!

[@SavvyNik]

Glad to hear it. No problem

[@Caprica-Approaches]

Wow, thank you: this is totally awesome, super-good, well edited to be so efficient - I think you showed me what I did wrong myself last time :-)

[@SavvyNik]

You're very welcome!

[@Nagi195]

I usually don't comment, but your tutorial is working perfectly. Thanks dude.

[@Ben-kx7rj]

I appreciate the video, I followed each steps and both OS are working properly.

[@SavvyNik]

Great to hear!

[@sheldonkupa9120]

I can heartly recommend refind for uefi machines as a bootmanager for dualboot/multiboot. Sudo apt install refind.... Awesome piece of software, lets you boot from usb or go to system setup, nice gui. I install it on every computer i get my hands on😉 Thx to Roderick Smith who made this.

[@SavvyNik]

Thanks for sharing

[@devrusso]

Just do sudo apt install refind and works out of the box?

[@552kent]

The only frustration i never install ubuntu is i will have to erase my entire disk with loads of downloaded files and software when ever i try installing and it erases windows. You made it so clear man. Thank you

[@SavvyNik]

Np

[@arshiali5108]

This really helped a lot! 🙌 I was really getting confused with all those articles and other stuff. Your video was very simple thorough and understandable. Thanks 😄

[@SavvyNik]

No problem

[@mihawk95]

As an Admin Sys Windows who is learning to use Linux (and needs Ubuntu for Cisco training) Thank you very much for your video which is very clear (especially the Ubuntu Disk part 🙏)

[@SavvyNik]

No problem

[@Ledo5256]

Thank you so much for this amazing explanation!, you did not hesitate to explain the something else option, which many others did not explain. Keep going like that, you earning is well deserved.

[@SavvyNik]

No problem

[@silasmccord5924]

can't thank you enough. such a great help for people starting to transition away from windows lol.

Well I can’t play any games so good luck if u use pcs for gaming

[@jdr5445]

Great vid, thanks! I tried to follow the methods of a few other youtubers unsuccessfully. Your tutorial was the most concise that actually worked. 👍

[@SavvyNik]

Glad it worked out for you :) you're welcome

[@jdr5445]

@@SavvyNik I'm posting this reply from within the linux OS in fact. It's very snappy. The only thing I miss from Windows is a lot of the apps that I found indispensable and not available for Linux...at least yet. I'm scouring the Linux app store and doing Google searches for alternatives. :-( All I need now is an effective and ESPECIALLY "easy to use" dual boot software.... because the swapping between Win & Linux is a bit of a pain. I have to keep pressing the F12 key repeatedly to bring up the boot order menu on my Lenovo desktop. I tried Refind and another one (forget the name) that claimed to have a easy to follow GUI interface with no success. Thanks again for your very detailed tutorial. PS. I miss just pressing the win & period keys on windows to bring up the emojis. Apparently, it doesn't work on Linux. :-(

[@SavvyNik]

Thanks for sharing the experience. It definitely takes some getting used to.

[@garyposs9064]

Excellent, Professional Tutorial. Worker perfectly on a HP All-In-One 24 r014. Thank You for taking the time and energy to share and produce the video :)

[@SavvyNik]

Glad to hear it

[@sujeetgandhi4580]

Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. You got a new subscriber. I was doing the dual boot on Alienware and the BIOS was unable to detect the mounted USB when plugged in USB 3.0 port, changing the port to 2.0 worked.

[@SavvyNik]

Awesome to hear! Thanks for the sub

Essay, simple, and to the point. It just shows the minimum knowledge to install Ubuntu on a different directory. Now, I installing ubuntu 24.02.

[@MihawkElmasry0.1]

This video i followed its steps to the end ❤ and it worked successfully thx

[@ISeeThree3]

Just make sure you keep making your videos as clear like this. Most especially the commentary. Especially the commentary and explaining why we select certain options.

[@lwa.dev74]

Hey SavvyNik! great walk thru as per usual, really helped out on a dualboot fresh install with Win 11 & Ubuntu 22.10.. Nice 1 🙂

No problem glad it helped :)

Under "device for boot loader installation" /dev/sda1 windows boot manager Not showing what is the problem

[@soltaniabdellatif5677]

Hi thanks for the video. I have a problem if someone can help me with. when I get to the part where I have to choose a device for boot loader installation. I don't get the option of windows boot manager. Also when I tried shrinking the storage I did not have an EFI partition nor a recovery partition. I'm stuck if someone can help it would be very cool thanks :)

[@AboHemed]

Did you find a solution for that problem ? as it has occurred to me too

[@nycdotnet4751]

Learned about shrink partition - nice!

[@buriedbits6027]

Excellent! At around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="713">11:53</a>, I decided to explore installing Ubuntu on my 12-year-old Mac since the current macOS on my machine is outdated. While I aim to keep macOS for specific purposes, I partitioned the SSD in macOS and encountered some challenges recognizing the partition in the Ubuntu installer. Disappointingly, the disk selection stage in the Ubuntu installer seemed cumbersome with its greyed-out checkboxes, lacking informative metadata for decision-making, and an absence of a help button. Compared to Apple’s user-centric design, this stage in Ubuntu’s installer appears less intuitive.

[@michaelbrady6646]

Really well presented without all the drivel some people put in their videos. We dont need to see your cat or know what you had for breakfast. Possible the most detailed yet to the point video on youtube. Worked Great.

[@SavvyNik]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@ajais4]

Great tutorial. Installed ubuntu alongside win 11 and is working fine.

After a traumatizing bootloader disaster, alongside a chkdsk bug that made my windows drive a raw data partition temporarily, I decided that I needed a tutorial just in case 😅 thanks a million for the easy follow along.

It works thanks. Make sure to shut down and then plug the USB back in before going into the bios otherwise it might not detect it

[@meshackkoontse3460]

But we just installed it, why do we need USB?

[@nichobrooks]

Hey Nik, great video and I'm about to do this on a new laptop I got because I want to run Fedora 36 on it but don't want to format just yet because of warranty (just in case they cry foul). you should do a tutorial on how to revert back to single boot (either Linux or windows). thanks! and I subbed 👍🏻 Nevermind, found your older video explaining it 😆

[@SavvyNik]

Glad you figured it out haha! Hope the new laptop works out for you.

[@nichobrooks]

@@SavvyNik thanks man, just received it, so far so good 👍🏻

[@nichobrooks]

@@SavvyNik one question, how small would you leave the windows partition

[@SavvyNik]

Depends on what you need. I'd give at least 32GB past the amount that it takes for Windows to get installed.

[@nichobrooks]

@@SavvyNik I just want to keep windows as it came for warranty reasons, I want to install Fedora with the max disk space possible

[@bobd5119]

I am going to install ubuntu (22.10) on its own SSD, i.e. not on an SSD shared with Windows. Would I choose "Something else" in the "Installation type" dialog? Would "Device for boot loader installation" be "Windows boot manager"?

[@AndreAndraos]

Thanks, nicely done. What does the Install along Windows do differently than what you did manually, relative to partitions and selecting the boot loader partition. I'm wondering if I can make the drive space (shrink), and then let the ubuntu install wizard take care of the manual steps.

[@miro3230]

Works like a charm, you got my sub.

Just wanted to drop my thanks as well for a working dual boot setup! ❤

Great video, I followed everything step by step and it's working fine on my PC Only one problem is that it does not connect with my WiFI and asks for a password again and again

Thanks Man!!! Thank you so much.... The only thing which was missing was your explanation of the "device for boot loader installation" option, for which I has to google. But overall, thank you for the guide. I installed correctly (Dual Boot).

[@SavvyNik]

Glad it helped

[@Pilazing]

what did u do in the device for boot loaderinstallation, my windows boot manager does not show up

[@onuryildiz8299]

I did everything right. But after press enter and remove usb. My pc started with windows. It did not asked ubuntu or windows.

[@libera9519]

same, solved?

[@onuryildiz8299]

@@libera9519 i solved this with adding a path for ubuntu boot manager but it caused a different problem. i saw over 100 firmware address. i could not reach linux again. after that, deleted every path for linux manually. i decided to remove linux and install a virtual machine. but I'm not happy with this.

[@sohamkulkarni5781]

Man you saved me I almost selected wrong partition 😅

[@afnanrizwan5302]

Is it necessary to select disk C where windows is already present or you can select an ssd as well ?

[@SavvyNik]

Glad you liked it!

[@ashissoback]

Hey Nik, for some reason I can’t shrink my C drive more than like 1GB?

[@SavvyNik]

Typically that means there's some data still in the back end of the C drive and that the partitioning tools doesn't want to allow you to overwrite the data. IF you don't need anything on the drive you could potentially reformat or figure out how to remove the data.

[@tymz-r-achangin]

I have a pc with Asus Z97-A motherboard, Intell i5 4690k processor, 16gb DDR3 ram, and 3 internal hard drives. My 1st hard drive, I already have Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit on it and been using it for the past few years (no, I do not want windows 10 or 11) My 2nd hard drive is for installing Linux Mint 20.3. My 3rd hard drive is a 3tb thats just for back ups. for Windows and Linux files So what are the steps for installing Linux Mint 20.3 onto my 2nd hard drive and optimizing the settings for multi-boot?

[@danielmoses718]

This was so on-point.... #perfect sir

[@shanker4094]

Hi i have a doubt in this since it is my first time installing a OS at first I clicked on the Ubuntu menu to install alongside Windows boot manager but it seemed like ubuntu was not installed so i did again but this time i set the location of memory to be used which i kept has a partition from the c:/ drive so my doubt is where there a same OS could've been installed twice ? Thank u....

[@shanker4094]

so if another OS is installed on the c:// along side windows it would've created a partition by itself right ... :)

sda2 or the 16MB partition is probably the Windows "swap" so Windows doesn't crash when you run out of RAM

[@nithishneelesh630]

If u have unusable space then do disk partition by change this dynamic disk to basic and change one more time vice versa this is how i cleared this error
