I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.In the comments on my recent posts about installing Linux on a netbook for a novice user ( see my recommendations and my own results), someone mentioned that figuring out the disk partitioning was very difficult and particularly intimidating for new (or prospective) Linux users. If I go to Device Manager, it has something like 15-20 Unknown Devices which includes a lot of stuff.įor any of you guys who were able to clean install or dual boot install W7 with UEFI, am I doing something wrong or is this normal? Did you deal with the same stuff here?Īlso, I though because the installation was on an USB with UEFI, should'nt I be able to (after the installation) enable back again the security boot/fast-boot/ and disable the CSM thing like it was before? Or will I have to leave these options forever as long as I have W7? I don't get it. GEEZ) and so at least I have WiFi, but I can't do much still.
How to install linux dual boot windows 7 drivers#
I was able to download the Intel AC WiFi drivers (I downloaded it in W10 and copied the file to the partition of W7 while on W10. I don't have Ethernet, USB, Trackpad, Sound, etc. I had to enable Mouse Keys from Accessibility to move around or use the TAB button which is a PITA. Heck, I don't even have a mouse (since the USB ports don't work, I can't plug in an external mouse either). There are a whole bunch of OTHER missing drivers too, that are NOT found nor detected. Once I'm there, it's like the USB problem all over again. If I don't enable the CSM compatibility option, I still see W7 in the boot manager but it hangs on the "Starting Windows" screen and never starts up. But then I realized some things about the installation:ġ. After installation, I get to see W7 and W10 in the WIndows Boot Manager. I got to run the Setup and was able to install it successfully. I erased that partition and used that to install W7. For those of you who have this laptop, you are aware that there is a D: DATA partition disc that comes from the factory. It's kind of contradictory.Īny way, going forward. I have to set the CSM to enabled and choose UEFI USB. **A note here: it's strange that when CSM is disabled, the boot menu does see the UEFI: USB option but doesn't work. But anyway, I found a program that adds some Intel USB 3.0 drivers to the USB installation and was finally able to run the setup and continue with the installation. I then realized that, once in the the Win7 Setup, it didn't detect the same USB I used to open the setup. Then I set the Boot options to: NO-SECURITY-BOOT/NO-FAST-BOOT/ENABLE-CSM on the Boot options and In that I have also been able to boot from the UEFI USB (Yes, by choosing UEFI USB, and not the regular USB).

I've followed several tutorials on how to create a bootable UEFI DVD or UEFI USB (GPT partition, boot圆4, etc etc) and I succeeded.
How to install linux dual boot windows 7 iso#
I have Windows 7 圆4 ISO file (The one you can actually choose which version to install).
Thus, I am starting to believe that my situation is specific or something's wrong. But almost all how-tos say the same steps which sound very easy. And I swear I have read quite a lot of forums on how to resolve this. I know this subject has been discussed extensively in this forum as well as in others.
