Installing Ubuntu 16.04.1
Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2017 6:17 pm
I am trying to install Ubuntu as per all the instructions from the knowledge base and everything goes fine until the final installation screen where I get this message :
The Partition / dev / sda1 assigned to / starts at an offset of 2560 bytes from the minimum alignment for this disk, which may lead to very poor performance.
Since you are formatting this partition, you should correct this problem now by realigning the partition, as it will be difficult to change later.
To do this, go back to the main partitioning menu, delete the partition, and recreate it in the same position with the same setting.
This will cause the partition to start at a point best suited for this disk.
At this point there are 2 options on screen, go back or continue.
If I click on continue, it just goes back to the screen quoted above.
If I click on Go Back, it brings me to the main installation screen where I'm not sure what to do because I have BIBM installed on the first HD, with unlimited Primaries.
BIBM is on the first Primary, with XP, Vista, Win7Ult-64 (old) and Win7Ult-64 new on their own partitions.
I created the Ubuntu partition and swap file partition as per instructions from the BIBM article, just created and not formatted, added the Ubuntu item to the BIBM boot menu, booted to Ubuntu as per instructions ( failed as article says it should ) and rebooted to the Ubuntu DVD.
So I cancelled the installation for now until I can continue with more information on what to do, like where do I delete the partition and recreate it, from BIBM or Ubuntu.
At least everything is still as it should be re BIBM and the OS's, everything still works.
