I am dual booting on my Lenovo t420 windows and Ubuntu. I am using both Os and find it annoying to switch back and forth...I was wondering if I could have Ubuntu on my Virtual Box and copy my information from the Dual Boot to the windows partition. I have lots of stuff on my Linux, mainly because of eclipse and android stuff.
look at this link:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9323
it is possible that this may not work because when an OS is installed, it loads only the files to make it run on your specific machine. the simulated hardware in virtualbox might be too different that what it uses now.(I know this because I tried this with win xp)
If you're running Windows 7, you can use 'Windows Virtual PC', which is built in to Windows 7, to run a Linux OS as virtual machine. See http://answers.oreilly.com/topic/366-how-to-run-linux-under-windows-7s-windows-virtual-pc/ for more info.
I'm T420 with both Ubuntu(12.04 64bit) and Win7 too. Normally I can see Win7 partition be mount to Ubuntu and I can copy data from Ubuntu to Win7.

I installed Ubuntu-20.10 on my computer. So now there are two operating systems on my computer, Ubuntu and Windows 10. But I turned on the computer and found that the computer automatically entered the Windows operating system without entering the selection interface of operating system. And there is no Ubuntu startup item on the boot option in the BIOS.
My guess would be the installer didn't make a boot partition. Could be allot of reasons.
Does your bios have UEFI ? some bios will launch a usb installer not from UEFI with can screw up the installer. other times it's just a wrong button pressed.
usually people have the opposite problem. Make sure your bios is up to date and when installing again check the partition summer before you hit install to make sure its making a bootable partition or including it somewhere.

I recently upgraded to a 64bit Windows 10 based PC. I installed my older VMWare Workstation 11.1.2 on it and created a Ubuntu Linux 64bit 16.4 LTS. It appeared that the VM creation went through successfully. However, when I attempt to start the VM, I receive an error as below:
On inspecting the Task Manager, I observe that the VMWare Workstation is started as a 32bit process and could be the reason for this. Does this mean I can't run 64 bit guest OS on this PC?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
It says right there in the error message what the problem is, Intel VT-x is disabled. Have you checked your bios settings?

I have Linux both command line linux, and Ubuntu, but my computer is Windows 10 based. Also the hardware is not what it used to be. I.e... No working USB port, No DVD slot (But I do have a Micro SD slot if I can boot it from there) but I was wondering if I can install and boot linux directly in Windows? And I was wondering if Windows 10 would be active still, and if I an switch in between the two? I have never worked with Linux or booted it. How can I boot linux in windows without anything but a micro sd card?
you can not boot linux on windows. you can make Bootable USB and use live linux or use virtual machine like VMWare
Use a virtual machine. They allow you to run multiple operating systems at once, and as long as your machine supports virtualization, they work perfectly for the situation you are describing.
My preferred virtualization software include:
VMWare
and
VirtualBox
From there, download and install the Linux .iso file of your choice to be able to open and switch between operating systems at will. Also, make sure to enable virtualization in your BIOS settings.

I have prepared partition, Mint iso and Windows 7. Can I easily install Mint directly from Windows without using pen drive or CD?
You should not do that. You create another partition and put a Linux live image there. Then you boot this system and install Linux Mint like you would from CD or USB
You shouldn't have many issues.
During the install on Mint, you will be allowed to select install options. If Mint detects a preexisting OS, it defaults to "install along side OS xxx."
I believe from there you can select your partition or create new ones.

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1) Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2) Choose your language settings, and then click 'Next."
3) Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact admin... bla bla bal.

I get this error when i try to install Windows server 2008 x64 via VirtualBox.
I have All Virtual settings enabled in BIOS and my CPU is an Cor i5 vPro, the host system is Windows 7 x64.
Youtube Screen casting of the error
I had the same issue and found a solution.
Open up bios and make sure vt-x is enabled
If it wasnt, you'll need to delete the VM in virtual box and make a new one.. Now you will see an option for windows 7 and windows 7 (64bit).
It was only AFTER i delete and rebuilt the VM did it allow me through. Changing the settings in the existing VM didnt seem to do the trick.
