Answer #7
Uhm I think because when installing you have 2 hd’s, your normal hd and the sd card.
I’d say: go into your bios and disable your HD, now just boot up the setup and when installing you should only see 1 HD(Your sd card).
So just install Ubuntu, now when you want to boot Windows just go to the boot menu(BIOS) and select to boot your HD, and when you want to boot Ubuntu just select your SD card.
Try that

Just download unetbootin and its pretty straight forward

But the problem is not installation problem, it’s a configuration problem.

Ubuntu should load perfectly. It loads to memory and doesnt touch your hard drives…

Answer #12
Have you been able to boot anything from SD card? not all laptops CAN boot from SD card. Can boot from USB though…
When your laptop is booting you should be able to change the boot options or enter a boot choice menu that will allow you to select the boot device. If SD card isnt their then it just flat out isnt possible without either a bios upgrade OR custom bios installed for your laptop. If them options arent available then you can either install to USB or not install it….

Answer #14
I can’t see anythign online about booting from SD card TBH, maybe someone with a bit more experience with this sort of laptop might be able to help. I’m currently using a Samsung N110 and don’t think that can boot from memory card either…
