Answer» I had installed linux on hda6 and hda7....and Windoze was on c partitions ... Correct me if i'm wrong but you can't format partitions.............can you?yes. yes you can.i had installed linux on hda6 and hda7(ie e and f partition)...For some reason i couldnt boot into linux(i guess i had a 192MB RAM ,but at this time i had the option of choosing the dual bootup..windows and linux)..so i logged into windows..there i clicked start-control panel-administrative tools-computer management-disk management-ther i cud see the partitions along with the e and f partition..i wanted to remove linux ..so i parttioned these 2 drives... when i rebooted system my system showed only a black screen with GRUB> on it(like in command prompt)... Now what do i do.. i want to use windows only... <<>>When you start your computer, do you have any options to choose from? Can you choose to boot Windows or is there just a black screen?Giving up on linux already? Boot your computer with the windows XP cd and choose the restore option. Then type in fixmbr when you get a command prompt. Restart. man this is real funny Quote from: naren_arsenal on June 20, 2007, 05:57:51 AM I had installed linux on hda6 and hda7....and Windoze was on c partitions ...I would advise you to get a good book on how to set up linux from your local library or something. Either that, or you do more research on the distro that you have on the internet. I suggest that you try www.linuxquestions.org. Their forum is friendly to newbies and they even have a newbies section that you can browse through and find more helpful answers. Don't forget about their tutorials section, too.michaellewis... im not givin up Linux 4 life... i just wanna know the basic troubleshooting stuffs thts all....Alright. Good choice. Don't take any crap from contrex, either. I also don't EXACTLY recommend looking at the linux manual for newbies. It can be difficult to understand at times and a lot to wade through. For example, how is someone, who know dos better than linux, going to know that the rm command deletes files? Your not going to type in "man rm", you'd probably try "man delete" first, and then "man del" and still have no idea what to do. Find yourself a command line list and print it out. It will be an invaluable resource. I already know the command line INTERFACE commands(..Konsole commands.. i shud say)....Quote from: naren_arsenal on June 22, 2007, 12:25:08 AM I already know the command line interface commands(..Konsole commands.. i shud say)....Okay, good. Now memorize them and start exploring the FILESYSTEM. Familiarize yourself with all the config files and especially vim. Ok... now wat is VIM and can u brief me bout config files... Is vim a text editor like Vi or something...Quote from: naren_arsenal on June 26, 2007, 12:23:05 AM Ok...I think vim is just "vi improved". config files are everything. you've got your xorg.conf, httpd.conf, smb.conf, etc. Look around your system for them and figure out what they are. I won't be of much help right now, as I don't have a system with linux anymore. (incompatable hardware) Pretty much everything that you can configure with the gui has a config file somewhere. Find them and learn them. |
