Why doesn't Ubuntu 12.04 recognize my Windows 7 partition?
(these are just a couple of the articles/threads I have read) however none of the solutions provided seem to solve my problem.
I have a Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite with a 128GB SSD with Windows 7 64-bit installed. I created an unformatted partition where I intended to install Lubuntu to.
I then created a USB boot disk using unetbootin, now when I boot to this and hit 'install Lubuntu' the Lubuntu splash screen appears and then the screen simply goes blank. I got round this by changing the settings to 'nomodeset' which then take me to the standard Lubuntu install/setup. However the installer does not detect my windows 7 OS or the partition I created and sees the SSD as just one partition.
I have tried clearing any RAID data - I have read that this can cause issues, and tried using sgdisk/gdisk to 'zap' the partition however the installer still cannot see windows 7 or the partition.
The strange thing is I used the exact same USB to install to my PC which had no problem with a black screen or detecting my windows 7 installation. The only difference being that I have multiple HDD so installed Lubuntu to a HDD of its own (no partition nonsense - except for the swap area).
Any help you guys can give me would be appreciated as I am out of ideas.
Thanks
