HOW TO: Install Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on Inspiron 1420

October 7, 2007 - 11:41 pm - Posted by cereal87

Purchased Dell Inspiron 1420 about 2 months ago. It came with Vista Basic, wasn’t quite satisfied with it. Upgraded it with original Vista Business Edition. After about 1 month plus using it, it still failed me. I used Dell Recovery wizard to restore my laptop to the original factory stat. To my dismay, the backup I made with windows easy migration before the disaster, was not able to restore my backup. Thus, I booted from the Vista CD, shrinked by Windows partition by 10GB to fit my Ubuntu.

The whole rationale was, I might need Windows due to the nature of my university that most softwares used are either abandonware, trialware or freeware which only support windows. Most of them don’t even support 64-bit version of Windows. So having the NTFS partition left there will be used as a cross platform to share data between both OSes.
