My question is: how do i get the installer to ask us to install ubuntu side
by side as it used to?
Confirm that there are only 3 partitions (or less) existing - you need
two new partitions for Ubuntu (system and swap). You would maybe
expect to create an extended partition as a fourth primary partition,
and add the two ubuntu partitions inside that as logical partitions,
of suitable size. If ther aer already 4 primary partitions you cannot
add more partitions (for Ubuntu for example).
A few occasions I found when the installer did not proceed included
when there were errors in the windows file system which were
previously not noticed. From windows, I did a chkdsk.
As a routine:
- a good backup first, and one you can be confident in (you may have
to use it!!)
- With ubuntu live session confirm that the various aspects work in
the hardware - display, audio, camera, wireless, etc
- with Ubuntu live session, check the hard drive is ok use 'disk
utility', there should be no errors at all
good luck
