Hey guys...
A little peeved this morning.
Went to install Ubuntu in a dual boot setup with Windows 7...
Well... It completely trashed my second of 3 harddisks. All of my Steam Games, Origin Games, Microsoft Office, E-Mails, EVERYTHING is gone now.
The way I set my PC up is this...
Disk 00 - 120GB Vertex 3 MaxIOPS for OS, Drivers, and Important System Utilities such as Antivirus.
Disk 01 - 240GB Pyro SE - Applications such as Microsoft Office, all my games, etc.
Disk 02 - 2TB WD Black - Storage and Backups.
Before installing Ubuntu I created another partition on Disk 00 of 30GB JUST for Ubuntu... But NOOOO... It didn't use that... It skipped it completely and went over the Disk 01.
When installing Ubuntu I clicked on the top option to "install alongside Windows 7" or whatever it was.
How do I install Ubuntu in a dual boot without it trying to completely take over my Second Physical HardDisk and trashing everything that'll take me a month to redownload (Much less the irreplaceables like my E-mails!)?
Any input would be great.
