Unfortunately, my colleague did not back his data from the windows side before installing Ubuntu. the result was a loss of all his data after he installed Ubuntu. I thought Ubuntu would have dual booted with the windows side??<br><br>I feel quite upset about this as i am always singing the praises of Linux. I accept that the cardinal rule is to always back up your data before any installation or repartitioning etc. I was not with him at the time, but I can't help feeling bad about it.<br><br>I have not installed Ubuntu alongside a windows partition. My PC is a pure Linux setup so I am not sure how it should have behaved. I have googled and read the documentation on the Ubuntu
website and apparently it should have dual booted without any problems. From what I understand is that he accepted the automatic option rather than the manual. He used SUSE before so he is not entirely new to Linux.<br><br>Any thoughts from anyone who installed a dual boot option? <br><br>Cheers<br><br>Mo<br><br><br><br><br></div></div><br>
