 Dual-Boot Ubuntu 15.04/14.10 And Windows 10/8.1/8: step By Step Tutorial With Screenshots

 There are many of us want to use Windows and Ubuntu both at the same computer but dual booting does not seem easy to everyone. In this article I'll show you how you can dual boot your computer with Windows 10/8.1/8 and Ubuntu 15.04/14.10.

I assume that you've already installed Windows.

• First of all save all of your important files so that any a does not loose any relevant files.
• Save data either in pen drive or any external hard drive or whatever source you use to save your data just save it.

STEP 1: Now our first step starts with inserting Ubuntu bootable DVD/Pendrive. 
              If you have pendrive then make sure you've set your system boot from Pendrive. 
              If you have not set it up then open BIOS setup. From BIOS, goto Boot tab and select boot                       preference and select your pendrive at primary boot. 
              Now save settings and reboot your system.

System should bootup from Ubuntu Bootable Pendrive. Just wait untill you get option to “Try Ubuntu” or “Install Ubuntu”. 

STEP 2: Click Try Ubuntu and you will be booted to Ubuntu Live. Here you can test several features and look and decide further to install it or not. Now you see an icon on the desktop “Install Ubuntu”, click it.

STEP 3: A setup window will popup asking for language selection. Select your preferred language from left sidebar and click 'Continue'. The next screen shows couple of options to select. If you are connected to the internet, click the checkbox 'Download updates while installing'. This option downloads and installs all available updates (skip this step if you want to download & install updates after Ubuntu installation). Click second checkbox 'Install this third-party software'. This options installs third-party software such as codecs and more. Although you can install codecs after installing Ubuntu but if you install here then you can play everything just after installation is done. Now click Continue.

STEP 4: Select your preferred

STEP 3: Download and install updates

STEP 4: It is the most important step. You have three options available first is 'Install Ubuntu alongside Windows' , second is 'Replace Windows with Ubuntu” and third option is “Something else”. If you want system to partition the hard-disk and install Ubuntu alongside Windows then selectfirst option. If you want to remove Windows completely and install Ubuntu then choosesecond option and third option what we are going to select in this tutorial is “Something else”. This is the very convenient option. I can partition hard-disk as I want without removing Windows.

Choose 'Something else' and continue. The following screen would have all the partitions available at your disk, including the Windwos partition and free space. (Be very careful before you select any partition). Select free space and click '+' (plus) sign below left side of window. Now it's the main part but before that let me tell you what partitions are needed to install Ubuntu. We need to create minimum three partitions namely '/' (root), swap and /home.  

Root '/'

root is the partition that contains all of your system and applications file. For example, when you install any application, the related files are stored into root partition. Nothing from this partition can be deleted without root user permission. root partition is symbolized as '/'.

root partition should be more than 25GB. This size will not cause trouble for you in future. You can easily install large applications.

Swap

swap is the partition that is used as RAM (Random Access Memory). In case your RAM is full, system will use swap as a RAM. swap is also used when user hibernates the system. The hibernate session is saved in swap. swap size should be double the size of RAM but if your RAM is 8GB or more then keep swap 8GB. It's should be enough.

/home

/home is the partition that contains all users data. Like in Windows users have different partitions to store data and one partition has OS. /home is like the partitions that contains all users data, such as, documents, music, movies, games setup etc. You can specify any size for/home depending on your use. If you have large amount of files then make it large.

Now that we know what root '/', swap and /home partitions are, let's move on to the main step. First create root partition where we'll install our Ubuntu. Enter size in MB (1024MB = 1GB). Click 'Primary' and click 'Begining of this space'. Choosing Begining of this space creates this partition first and rest of other after. From drop down choose 'Ext4 journalising file system'. There are couple of other filesystems but Ext4 is faster and work perfectly fine with Linux. In last, choose Mount point as '/' root from drop-down menu. And click 'OK'. You've created root partition.  

Create the last '/home' partition in the same way as above partitions were created. Select free space and click '+' sign and enter size of /home partition. Jump to 'Use as' and select 'Ext4 journalizing file system, select 'Mount point' as /home and click OK. You're all done!

Click continue and it will give last prompt to check if all the partitions are okey. Click Continue if everything is fine. 

Select rest of the free space again and click '+' (plus) sign. You'll get the partition creation window. Enter the size for swap and and select rest of the options and select 'swap area' fromuse as drop-down menu. This selection will hide the last option 'Mount point'. Click OK and you're done.

If you followed everything correctly you should get to select Time Zone. Select Time Zone and continue.
Select Keyboard layout and click Continue.

Complete all fields in the next window. Your name, You computer's name, username, password(twice) and select if you want to login automatically or require to enter password to login. Click Continue and istallation will start. It should not take much time. Just 5 minutes or so. If you're downloading updates then this may take more time depending on your internet speed. If you want to skip downloading, expand the status bar and click 'skip' multiple times.

When installation is completed you'll get popup to restart Live Ubuntu to Ubuntu or Continue Testing. Click Restart and you're all done. Plug-out Pendrive or eject DVD and now whenever you boot, the grub menu will give you two operating systems to select, Windows and Ubuntu. Select Ubuntu and you are done.

Congratulation! You now have two operating systems installed. Select anyone from grub menu and work without any problem.

Clean and boost your PC/laptop in any Windows PC  with Disk Cleanup

During the normal use of your computer, you will accumulate a number of unnecessary files (temporary setup / internet files, recycle bin, etc.). You can remove these files with the built-in Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) utility inside of Windows . When it comes to computer repair, I use it all the time on my clients systems. And it can be run a couple of different ways and withdifferent options.

Running Disk Cleanup on demand

There are a couple of different ways to run Disk Cleanup on demand. The following procedure cleans up files associated with your user account. You can also use Disk Cleanup to clean up all the files on your computer.

Windows 8 Disk Cleanup dialog box with standard options

1. On the Start menu, swipe in from the right side of the screen or press the Windows logo key  + C to bring up the Charm bar.
2. Left-click on Settings button in Charm Bar.
3. Left-click on Tiles in Settings.
4. Drag the Show/hide administrative tools slider to the Yesposition.
5. Left-click on background of the Start menu, making the Charm bar disappear.
6. Once the administrative tools appear, left-click on Disk Cleanup.

or

1. Swipe in from the right-side of the screen or press the Windows logo key  + C to bring up the Charm bar.
2. Left-click on Search button in Charm Bar.
3. Left-click on Apps in Search.
4. Type Disk Cleanup in the Search field on the Search pane.
5. In the results on the left hand side, left-click on Disk Cleanup.

After you select the drive you want to clean, Disk Cleanup scans it for possible files to delete. It then allows you to select which files to delete. When you click the Clean up system files button it restarts with a More Options tab. This tab includes two additional ways to free even more disk space:

Windows 8 Disk Cleanup dialog box with more options

• Programs and Features. This option opens Programs and Features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs that you no longer use. The Size column in Programs and Features shows how much disk space each program uses.
• System Restore and Shadow Copies. With this option, you can delete all but the most recent restore point on the disk.
  System Restore uses restore points to return your system files to an earlier point in time. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by deleting the earlier restore points.
  In some editions of Windows 8, restore points can include previous versions of files, known as shadow copies, and backup images created with Windows Complete PC Backup. These files and images will also be deleted.

Running Disk Cleanup with predefined options

You can also run Disk Cleanup from a command prompt. This gives you the option of predefined settings for running Disk Cleanup as scheduled task in Task Scheduler or a shortcut on your Desktop or Start menu. Click here for more information on how to open a Command Prompt with Administrator privileges in Windows 8.

Windows 8 Disk Cleanup run at a Command Prompt with sageset option

You can start the Disk Cleanup tool by running cleanmgr.exe. Disk Cleanup supports the following command-line switches:

• cleanmgr /d driveletter: - This switch selects the drive that you want Disk Cleanup to clean. Note that the /d switch is not used with /sagerun:n.
• cleanmgr /sageset:n - This switch displays the Disk Cleanup Settings dialog box and creates a registry key to store the settings you select. The n value is stored in the registry and allows you to specify different tasks for Disk Cleanup to run. The n value can be any integer value from 0 to 65535. To get all the available options when you are using the /sageset switch, you may need to specify the drive letter that contains the Windows installation.
• cleanmgr /sagerun:n - This switch runs the specified tasks that are assigned to the n value by using the /sageset switch. All drives in the computer will be enumerated, and the selected profile will be run against each drive.

To run Disk Cleanup with the /sagerun:n switch in Task Scheduler or in a Desktop or Start menu shortcut, you would use something similar to the following:

C:\Windows\System32\cleanmgr.exe /sagerun:n

OFFICIAL TRAILER

REVIEW

Fallout 4’s HUD has alerted me to an enemy, informing me in red capital letters that I’m facing GIANT HERMIT CRAB long before I’ve even had the chance to see it. My perception is apparently so great that I can identify an unfamiliar species through the walls of a house. As I skirt around the dilapidated building, I still don’t see the crab. Is it behind the rusty truck I’m facing?

No, it’s in the rusty truck I’m facing. It’s using the truck as its shell, in fact. The crab scuttles toward me—if something so huge can be described as scuttling—and when I begin to empty my incendiary minigun into it, it retracts into its metal shell and begins flinging its young at my feet to be chewed up by my spray of hot lead. Mother of the year.

Hermit crabs aren’t the only giants in Fallout 4’s Far Harbor expansion. There are enormous mutated praying mantises called fog crawlers, truly towering mirelurk queens, deathclaws (naturally), and a host of giant frog and lizard monsters inhabiting the expansion’s new landmass. The island itself is big, too, and has a sizable main story to match. It begins when you listen to the Valentine’s Detective Agency Radio signal, which summons you to Diamond City to learn of a new case involving a teenage girl who has gone missing from her home. 

Atom psalm

Has she been abducted? Is she a runaway? Honestly, she’s mostly just an excuse to get you to Far Harbor, where you’ll quickly forget about her and become embroiled in the tumultuous relationship between the island’s three factions. The island is shrouded in radioactive fog, which poses a threat to Far Harbor’s human residents and fishermen. Also on the island are the radiation-worshipping Children of Atom, who are big-time fog fans and would love to see it smother the life out everyone else. Meanwhile, there’s a colony of escaped synths looking for a fresh start while hoping to broker a peace between the other two camps.

None of this can happen without you, as the population of these three groups stand around doing nothing to help themselves, seeing as how they’re weighed down by the thousands of caps they’ll give you to retrieve missing items, clear out monster nests, solve petty squabbles, and investigate minor mysteries. The main quest involves the resolution of the feud between Far Harbor and Atom, and the discovery of the true nature of the mysterious synth helming the robot refuge. I’d suggest bringing Nick Valentine with you—some of the story concerns his own mysterious origins.

I played in a fairly moral fashion, and did my best to arrive at diplomatic solutions, though in the end I still wound up feeling a bit dirty, which is as it should be. There’s no sunshine and roses here, and no one, myself included, really comes out of it a hero. There’s just the best of some grim decisions, but I’m pleased to report that most story missions could be resolved through not just violence but with dialogue. The only detriment to the story is that the Children of Atom, being moronic religious zealots, aren’t that easy to sympathize with as a whole (though a few individuals in the cult are perfectly likable). In other words, players with less stringent morals who won’t mind a few innocent casualties probably won’t have the toughest choice to make or have a problem with resorting to mass destruction to bring about peace. 

While I enjoyed most of Far Harbor, one major misstep comes in a story mission where you need to enter a computer simulation to recover some protected data. It’s set up like a puzzle, where you have to place blocks to bridge gaps, station sentry guns to battle automated defenses, and reflect a beam of light through certain cubes to gain access to the files. It’s not a bad idea—I like beam puzzles and goofy computer simulations—but it uses the same first-person object placement system as Fallout 4’s settlement building feature does, and we all know how clunky and irritating that is. The visuals of the simulation are completely dull and the AI doesn’t always work properly: thankfully, there are only a handful of levels to suffer through. 

The island itself is perfectly enjoyable to explore: gloomy, marshy, shrouded in mist and prone to radiation storms. It’s a spooky and atmospheric setting, weird and evocative even in broad daylight. It’s not that heavily dotted with locations, but there’s enough exploring, combat, and mission running to keep most players busy for 20-plus hours. There are also plenty of raiders (here they’re called trappers), supermutants, ghouls, and some new weapons to kill them with, such as a harpoon gun and a lovely giant hammer equipped with an afterburner to help you swing its radioactive head. There’s also a new companion in the form of a grizzled and salty old coot, and a few new settlements to build (if you haven’t already had enough).

Far Harbor is a bit pricey but worth it for those looking for a good amount of new content and a real departure in setting. More dialogue-based resolutions are also welcome: I feel like I did more talking, and likewise more listening, than in Fallout 4 itself.
