Hello experts,
                    I am trying to install Ubuntu on my desktop PC.I have downloaded ISO from Ubuntu official site. I have made a bootable usb drive. Now i want to install it in pre-exist C drive. A year ago i was installing it on my PC and unfortunately i lost all of my data. Installed Ubuntu in a whole Drive. I am scared of installing it. So asking here if it is possible to install Ubuntu in C drive alongside windows. is it possible to install it?

Are you serious?!.. Of course you can't!.. Either one or the other. If you want a dual boot then you'll have to set a partition for each one of them. And given that you're not all that competent, I would suggest to get an other hard drive for Linux. This way, the chances of messing up your Windows system can be minimized. OR, install it in a VM.

I was also trying it in a Oracle Virtual Box but unfortunately i am unable to start a session it is always giving me error.

Code: (Select All)

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Ubuntu.

The virtual machine 'Ubuntu' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).  More details may be available in 'C:\Users\PCName\VirtualBox VMs\Ubuntu\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89}

What the 'C:\Users\PCName\VirtualBox VMs\Ubuntu\Logs\VBoxHardening.log' file is saying.
Otherwise, google 'VirtualBox E_FAIL (0x80004005)' for help and make sure you're using the latest VirtualBox.

If you're on Win7, check if there is no conflict between that system and the version of VBox you're running.

Good luck!
