Thread: dual boot windows 7 & ubuntu // mount issue

i want new laptop (dell studio pp39l) dual boot win7 , ubuntu 10.4.

burned ubuntu 10.4 disk
-- checked errors
-- checked md5sum
-- looked @ - physically -- , ok

used disk 'try ubuntu 10.4 without installing'. worked fine... until... windoz 7 installed updates. after updates ubuntu disk not mount:

busybox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
enter 'help' list of built-in commands

(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: input/output error
can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs

...

what suggest move forward install of ubuntu 10.4?

at point, suggest don't move forward.

dells notorious coming preloaded maximum limit of 4 primary partitions -- making ubuntu installation nightmare.

see if yours case, open terminal (from livecd mode) , run "sudo fdisk -lu" (that's lowercase l, not one).

if see 4 partitions, in major work install ubuntu (or other linux distro).
