Hi there,
I am very new to Linux although I have tried a few Live CD's.
This time I wanted to set up a dual boot system with Mint 12 and followed the instructions in the magazine.
Unfortunately, when running the installer from the desktop, I only get two installation options - neither of which is to install Mint alongside Windows 7! The 'something else' option would be okay if I knew what I was doing.
I do have a Partition Manager but I am not sure how to proceed. Any help you could give would be appreciated, preferably in simple steps.
My machine is an Acer Aspire 5750 Laptop with an Intel Core i3-2310M processor, 4Gb DDR3 Ram and a 320GB HDD, running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Thanks in advance
Gary
