[19:06] <InfoCentral> Hello
[19:07] <InfoCentral> I want to install STUDIO onto my Windows computer using a new HD
[19:07] <InfoCentral> How should I go about doing that and what formatting should be done?
[19:12] <zequence> InfoCentral: You format during installation. What you need is know how of the installation basically
[19:12] <zequence> The two most important parts are partitioning, and deciding where to install the boot loader. For UEFI machines, it's different though
[19:13] <zequence> i.e. a laptop with Win 8 preinstalled
[19:13] <zequence> Windows doesn't support the default filesystem used by Ubuntu (ext4), not without third party drivers at least
[19:14] <zequence> Ubuntu does support ntfs, but installing into that I would not recommend
[19:16] <zequence> InfoCentral: Installing UBuntu Studio is much the same as installing Ubuntu. So, you can look up any resources on installing UBuntu. Like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Installation
[19:17] <zequence> Ah, that was actually on installing Ubuntu Studio.
[19:18] <zequence> Usually, you decide to install the GRUB boot loader on the main disk, unless you want to manually choose the disk from BIOS
[19:18] <zequence> GRUB would replace the Windows boot loader
[19:19] <zequence> If you want to take the easy and safe route, just remove the WIndows drive, insert the new drive, boot from an installer, and choose the easiest install option with automatic paritioning
[19:20] <zequence> That would install everything on the new drive, including the boot loader.
[19:20] <zequence> Again, if you have an UEFI machine, you'll need a different route
[19:59] <ViTr0-z> hi guys, anyone got any experience with intel ac 7260 wireless card on ubuntu 14.04?
[22:38] <InfoCentral> So what I was thinking was booting from the DVD which I have an older version of Ubuntu on and then telling it to install and format the new HD.
[22:39] <InfoCentral> Then download the new version of Ubuntu Studio and have it install that.
[22:42] <InfoCentral> Apparently, you have to choose how you want the drive formated at this point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN0zqzNWiNU
[22:44] <InfoCentral> The options appear to be default {?}, encrypted, or LVM.  Not sure which option to pick at this point?
[22:53] <InfoCentral> went to the hepl.ubuntu website and when clicking on the 64bit iso version I get a 404 error message
[23:55] <InfoCentral> Got the iso and burned it to DVD.  Tried installing and loading without installing.  Both lock up after about a minute.
[23:56] <InfoCentral> I guess you get what you pay for but I really wanted to switch over from Windows to Linux.  I guess I'll stay with MS...
