[Bio-Linux] Installing bio-linux

[Tim Booth]

Hi Darren,

Off hand, I don't know what the problem might be, but there are some
things you can check.  If you boot from the USB to the live desktop,
does it recognise your existing Windows drive (under the places menu)?
Can you see the files?

Do you have anything unusual about your Windows set-up - eg. encrypted
disk, unusual partitioning setup, RAID configuration?

Cheers,

TIM
