I've created a standard USB stick from the 14.10 ISO file and it boots<br>
OK in the new computer but doesn't 'see' the existing Windows<br>
installation. It does see the two existing NTFS partitions OK though.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any idea why the Windows installation isn't<br>
recognised and/or how to get xubuntu to install as dual boot?<br>
