Here’s my updated partition as in 2020 I allocated most of the space to /home cuz I will have my Dropbox and most of my side projects here. /home: as large as possible, especially when you installed your Dropbox here, and have a lot of files # if you don’t want a seperate home, just merge it with root./boot: 250 MB ~ 1 GB # sometimes required, but do not use the same one for several Linux distros.

If things go well, after select USB in the boot menu, you should be directed to a menu with the list of “ Try Ubuntu”, “ Install Ubuntu”, … Since I haven’t tried them all myself, I strongly suggest you verify before actually start:Įnter esc + y to save and exit. There will show a line in white color: Entering Boot Menu. After the Leveno red sign shows on screen quickly press it before the sign disappears. Know your shortcuts to enter the boot menu. PLease also check Ubuntu official guide 3. Remember to choose Partition scheme to MBR and File system is FAT32(Default). This USB will be formatted so remember to back up data. Write downloaded Ubuntu ISO to your USB stick. If a Windows pc uses UEFI, it will only support GPT. Usually, we associate MBR + BIOS and GPT + UEFI together. Also, GPT can supports up to 128 partitions while MBR can only support four primary ones. GPT disk can support larger than 2TB while MBR cannot. But as “But the new is not always better than the old.“ I quoted here, they all have their own pros and cons. So what’s the difference between MBR and GPT? Well, MBR is old and GPT is new.

There are 2 ways of partitioning drive: MBR(Master Boot Record) and GPT(GUID Partition Table)(To check your format, go to disk management and right click your disk 0 to see properties, mine is MBR). Some common installation issues are caused by the tools you choose.īefore we start, I wanna emphasize one thing: Always check your disk file format.
