installer failed detecting existing OS

[vint]

My one year anniversary installing Linux Lite is almost here, I dual boot Windows 7 home premium and Linux Lite 5.8.  I followed the instructions from the online manual verbatim and the install was without error on the first try, at the time I had never used Linux.  I had just installed a new WD 320 gb HDD, re installed Windows 7 home premium, then Linux Lite 5.6.  My laptop was almost 10 years old 4 gb of ram 2 ghtz intel celeron processor.  Everything worked on my machine right away, all but the printer as no driver was available within Linux or Ubuntu, but to my surprise everything went as was described in the online manual.  I have had a few glitches come up in regards to the time and date between Windows and Linux Lite but I found a solution on the forum to fix it.  I haven't had any other big problems dual booting and until I can get my Canon printer /scanner working with Lite I plan to keep dual booting for now.

Follow the instructions in the manual to the letter and all should work.
