I'm currently installing windows 8.1 on my laptop to take up the whole partition. While that's being set up I want to see how I can dual boot ubuntu 14.04 LTS with it. My computer has a BIOS so UEFI shouldn't be a problem.

Any tips on what I can do? I'm very excited to start learning linux and getting on a good solid UNIX base for programming. Any help on how to dual boot would be so helpful.

If you want Windows to take up the whole partition, you can install Ubuntu on a USB stick (that is large enough) from within Windows 2GB minimum if you don't plan to save data to it.

Download Pen Drive Linux's USB Installer

  1. Select 'Ubuntu' from the dropdown list.
  2. Click 'Browse' and open the downloaded ISO file.
  3. Choose the USB drive and click 'Create'.
