So I have been running a Gateway laptop with Vista for the last 3 years. And I love it. I also have been starting to play with ubuntu on it as well. But my ole girl has seen better days. And I want to get a faster computer.
So I found a great deal on a Toshiba Satillite C855-S5192. It came with Windows 8, which I really do not like. And my 500 gig HD is down below 400 with all the crap installed on it.
So here is what the problem is. I tried to install Vista and it will not allow me to run both OS. Tells me that I do not have enough space on my HD for both. I tried to reformat and just run Vista but it will no boot from the disc. I am guessing that I am going to have to find software to completely erase the HD and start from there. Anyone have an advice for me? Any help would be great! Thanks!
