    uestion about dual booting and Linux Mint 3.0

    I recently downloaded linux mint, but when I came to install it I created a partition in my D Drive, yet it still managed to completely wipe out my windows software instead of dual booting... any thoughts on why this happened, and do you have any suggestions?

    Did you determine where to install? Also are you sure windows partition is deleted? Maybe it is not in the boot loader.

    When you install Linux Mint you have to choose "Set up my partitions manually" then choose a partition instead of a whole drive, because by default it will wipe a whole disk if you don't give it a specific partition.
