I have previously installed windows to the SSD and 'migrated' the User's folder to my 1TB data drive (without manually setting up a partition or anything). I hope to share the data stored on the 1TB hard drive between the two operating systems, but if this is not feasible then splitting the 1TB hard drive into two or more smaller partitions would be fine. I additionally have a 1TB hard drive that I want to use for data/storage.įrom what I have read, I understand that I will need to partition the drive(s) or use Logical Volume Management to set up the dual boot environment that I envision.
I have a 120GB solid state drive on which I want to locate the windows and linux OS, as well as other applications that would benefit from the SSD. I have already read through a lot of material, but found nothing for quite what I am looking to do, and I am not sure how or where I should start. I am new to linux and Ubuntu and wish to create a system that can boot both Windows 7 (for windows specific applications) and Ubuntu (I wish to become familiar with linux and Ubuntu for work).
