Dual boot on Hp Envy Ultrabook
- by phodu_insaan
I just bought a HP Envy ultrabook 1002TX. It comes with a Win7 Home basic and a 32GB SSD + 500GB HDD.
I started to install ubuntu and in doing so went and deleted all the partitions on my HDD and recreated them the way I wanted.
Then when I tried to install ubuntu it didn't recognize my HDD. To solve this i typed dmraid -E -r /dev/sdX where the 'X' was my SSD drive. After this ubuntu can install but windows for some reason does not install. Also the Intel Caching feature is lost and SSD is just sitting and doing nothing.
I want to know how to solve this problem. Ideeally I would like to use the SSD for caching, either in windows or ubuntu.
How do I get the SSD back to working as an Intel rapid cache?
How do I get windows to install properly? It tell me that windows is unable to configure itself to my hardware, and my PC came with windows pre-installed so this is not possible.
Sorry for the long question and thanks for your answers!
PS:
At one time when I booted I pressed Ctrl+i and went to the intel rapid cache menu. I think i screwed up something in here, because only after this the rapid cache stopped working, and each time I booted the PC thought the BIOS was my primary disk.
