Thank you so much for this, simple step by step. I kept getting stuck on other people's videos and walk throughs as they assumed I knew what they meant! Many thanks and all the best to you
You used 4 partitions while others have done this with 2 or 3 partitions. If I understand correctly Linux has its own boot partition and the windows boot partition was not modified by the Linux installer (others boot directly to Grub). The root and home are different partitions, separating the operating system from the user data (which I do on my Windows installations). This partitioning scheme insures that if there is a problem with the Linux installer or the Grub boot loader Windows will still boot and run normally. In the end we still boot to the Windows boot loader to choose our OS (like duel booting 2 versions of Windows). This looks like the safest way to add Linux without potentially damaging the Windows installation. It is more familiar and less intimidating to a Windows user trying to do their first Linux install.
I always get an error The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk ; [Errno 5] Input/output error This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive .....
I'm trying to dual boot mint with windows 10, followed the steps mentioned and created the partitions as instructed. After clicking install now I'm getting a pop up "No efi system partition was found.... Proceed at your own risk" please help.
@@demonkillerr That's correct, changed my boot priority to legacy first (it was UEFI prior) and was seamlessly able to install mint. Thank you for this installation video and quick response :)
very useful video, I installed as instructed, but it failed when I restarted and tried to enter Linux Mint 20, it says "No floppy Cannot find ANG0 in all drives...". How should I correct it??
Sir I have issue windows 10 is not in boot menu and boots straight to mint I failed to notice that before installing Linux mint but windows was never in the boot menu how to fix this
if you use entire disk then dual booting won't be possible as Windows (or any other operating system you have) needs its space for files and the os itself
For the /sda5 part when I create a new partition it doesn’t make that /sda5 directory. Instead it makes something else since I’m using my main ssd to do it. The name of the partition created is something called /nvme with a whole bunch of random text and numbers. Is that something I should worry about?
Bro it is working but after 2-3 days it is showing that boot partition is full, what should I do, it working fine btw but still can u suggest something
My last attempt I was unable to activate GRUB but I try again. I dont know what I did this time, all is well until 15:36, the Linux Entry is unaccessible. I got a bit angry and accidently deleted the Windows boot. I sweat so much trying to recover the Windows boot by button smashing in the BCD program. Suddenly I now have 3 Windows boot. When I restart the pc, now I can choose which OS to start including Linux. Overall, it did work, thank you very much !!
Hi demon how are you? I would like to install Linux in dualboot with Windows 10 on the Sony vaio 500 gb it is a pc with legacy that is mbr but being that it is a large hard disk I do not know how many gb to give has Windows and I do not know how much it has Linux would you recommend me? Then another information regarding the manual partitioning can you tell me the exact commands to put? For mbr then for when it concerns the programs As soon as installed I uninstall them with the programs without leaving a trace then I right click on the disk and I clean and I do the cleaning then in temp prefetch then I have a memory of 4gb I saw that in the video you put a partitioning in ram manually to create the ram to be dedicated has linux me having 4gb what number should I put? thank you very much and good day carlo
Another tip: If you don't want to install BCD on your own and want the default linux grub screen, don't make the boot partition. Let the installation continue without any boot partition. It will automatically install it in default EFI partition.
@@fictionaddiction4706 Only create the "/" root partition for keeping your os files, swap if you want a swap partition. Boot partition is not necessary. Select the root partition you created and press next.
In installation type: This computer currently has no detect an operating system. There is no option to install linux mint alongside windows 10. What should i do?
I did the same and i have a legacy bios mood but it says "no EFI system partition was found please go ....." What did i do wrong and is there any solution for this problem
@@maybeikraam3820 check a few things. 1) In disk partition, is there an existing EFI partition? 2) In the installer, makr sure you are selected MBR and not GPT

So should we follow this method or designate the boot partition to the windows one?

Very helpful... Thank you😊😊😊
This video is very helpful. But, how to make extra partition as EFI System Partition? Is it Primary or Logical? Beginning or End of the space? Thanks
can we use the entire disk than shrinking from the disk?
if you use entire disk then dual booting won't be possible as Windows (or any other operating system you have) needs its space for files and the os itself
@@ryn1192 yeah but what if you have two hard drives for instance I have 2 separate 1TB hard drives will it be possible then?
Unfortunately there was no 'swap area' option available in the drop-down menu. The installation failed.
are you on uefi or legacy? I just released a newer version of this video
if I want to delete linux forever what I have to do?
Did your hard drive change from Basic to Dynamic disk after you made those partitions for Mint?
@TeamUpHubGames that's not the answer I was looking for, but thanks
