WindowsDualBoot. This page describes how to set up your computer in order to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows.
Although this may seem obvious, it is important to back up your files to an external backup medium before attempting a dual-boot installation (or any other hard drive manipulation), in case your hard drive becomes corrupted during the process. External hard drives, USB flash drives, and multiple DVDs or CDs are all useful for this purpose. Some computer manufacturers that pre-install Windows provide a Windows recovery/re-installation CD or DVD with the computer. However, many companies no longer ship a physical disc but instead create a hidden partition on the hard drive in which the recovery-disk information is stored.
A utility is then usually provided which allows the user to burn a recovery/re-installation CD or DVD from it. You may need to request a physical recovery/re-installation CD or DVD directly from your computer manufacturer. Install Ubuntu Automatic partition resizing (not recommended) MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation. As with all wiki documentation, this page continues to be updated.
The partitioning options require additional testing. This information will not work for iMac (11,1 or newer) users installing recent versions of Ubuntu (e.g., Maverick, Precise, Quantal...), for this you may try this guide Ubuntu 12.10 on 2011 imac. The presence of the bios-grub partition that the Ubuntu installer creates by default (e.g., sda3) causes a conflict that prevents syncing the GPT and MBR partition tables. Deleting sda3 does not help since grub2 requires that bios-grub partition, nor will it use either sda or sda4 aborting with the error: "This GPT partition table has no BIOS boot partition; embedding won't be possible! ". So installing Ubuntu with the bios-grub partition fails and installing without it fails. Slightly adventurous Intel-based Mac ("Mactel") owners seem to often be afraid or confused about installing Ubuntu alongside OS X, but it is not very difficult.
