So i cant install any other os other than 7 and vista because ill get a bootmrg missing error. Currently im trying to dual boot 7 and ubuntu netbook remix 9.10. I have used unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive for the install of ubuntu and i already have windows 7. So ive tried everything and i cant install any other os because of that stupid error. I have a Mini 10v and my bios is at A04. I NEED HELP BECAUSE I WANT SOMETHING OTHER THAN WINDOWS 7. everything ive tried doesnt work. ive installed it on VMWare but its slow. so i need help. URGENT HELP!!

Did you set the USB device with the Ubuntu installer as the device to boot off?

To boot off a USB drive, you need to set the computer to boot off the drive.

When the "Dell" splash screen appears early in the boot, you need to press a button (F12?) to access the BIOS boot menu, then select the USB drive to boot off. If your USB drive got created correctly, it should boot up the Ubuntu installer (I'd make sure any important files on your Windows install are backed up before installing Windows).

Instead of F12, you can use the F2 button instead, to access the BIOS setup menu, there you can permanently set boot device priority (USB before onboard, CD before USB, etc). But I'd just use the one-time menu, since you won't need to boot off the USB drive frequently.

oh...ive done that and i get a bootmgr missing error but ill try again. Im using unetbootin to make it bootable since the one that came with the os doesnt seem to work.
