I have my new laptop :

  • Lenovo ideapad 330 15AST
  • Processor is AMD A6
  • With Windows preinstalled

Questions :

  1. Now I want to use Ubuntu and Windows also. I tried to dual boot my pc. While dual booting, my pc displays a message that, there is no os installed on selected USB drive. How can I solve it?

  2. I contact to Lenovo adviser and they told me that, if you run Linux on this laptop, it can corrupt your pc or Windows too. Is this right?

You have to download the iso image for Ubuntu and then make your pendrive bootable. Then try to install Ubuntu (while doing this you'll get an option to install alongside windows). To make a bootable pendrive you can use Rufus or Unetbootin.

From ubuntu.com:


2 GHz dual core processor or better
4 GB system memory
25 GB of free hard drive space
Either a DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media
Internet access is helpful

It is possible to corrupt Windows if you don't install the dual-boot properly. I would suggest wiping the drive & installing Ubuntu first, then Windows afterward (your laptop should have come with a Windows installation disk to restore your data, which you can use to install Windows on its own partition). This way, you can set the disk partitions properly & use the GRUB bootloader to pick your OS on boot.
