I've made a Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit install DVD. When I boot it on my Lenovo laptop I don't get the dual boot option, only 'Replace' or 'Something else'. Help!

I chose 32 bit because the laptop is a 32 bit machine - is this the right choice?

I don't think I have any drive partitions at present. Thanks guys :)

  • The something else option would let you dual boot. How comfortable are you editing partitions/setting up drives? Slightly off topic but any reason why you chose the 32 bit version? – Holloway Dec 05 '14 at 11:25
  • When you choose Something Else, you're being presented a partitioning utility. Please add a screenshot of this as edit to your question. – s3lph Dec 05 '14 at 11:25
  • The reasons why you do not get the "Install alongside Windows" could vary. While trying Ubuntu, open a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l. This will tell us if you already have too many primary partitions (max. 4). – To Do Dec 05 '14 at 11:54

Use 'something else'.
