This will be a story for those who did not get the expected result while dual booting Ubuntu along with Windows.
Since i was completely new to tech-stuffs i took my time , referred various websites and watched many Youtube tutorials to get a grip of what i was about to do . After a while i decided to execute what i learned . At first the process went smooth until i was at this page where i need to choose between "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu". Since it was obvious that i need to install Ubuntu i clicked that option but only i was shown a tab stating that this system uses Intel RST which needs to be turned off before installing Ubuntu. So the i followed their instructions and went and turned off RST. After i applied changes I closed the Bios menu and then i thought my system was loading but then, it showed "YOUR PC RAN INTO A PROBLEM . WE WILL RESTART IT FOR YOU". After that my system restarted ,again that message was shown on the screen . After which i turned off my PC . On opening my laptop a screen opened showing Automatic repair and gave two options Restart and Advanced Options. Since restart didn't work well i chose the other option "Advanced Option",then i was shown three options namely
1.Continue
- Troubleshoot
3.Turn off your PC
Since i knew neither of the option 1 and 3 was not going to work i clicked the Troubleshoot option, after which i was shown 4 options namely
1.Refresh your PC
2.Reset you PC
3.Microsoft recovery and diagnostic toolset
4.Advanced Options
Since this system was very new and not many important data was stored in my system so i decided to use the option "Reset Your PC ".I know it may sound lame and stupid to erase all the data in my PC instead of using Advanced options, but the thing is that i didn't know what to do further and decided to play it safe . So i decided to factory reset my PC and after nearly 40 mins i got my system back to how it used to be . That night i researched why my Windows didn't work and i found out that my windows was no longer able to boot the moment i turned off RST in my BIOS menu. After which i consulted my seniors who sent more resources on this matter after which i did some research . After a week i resolved this matter and was successfully able to dual boot Ubuntu along with windows .
But the most important thing to remember is that keep a backup of your data as your system may crash multiple times .
The thing is that try patiently, even if you get errors multiple times and learn from your mistakes .
