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. |

Solve : help me anyone? |
Answer» I recently downloaded Fedora Core 6.. I already have windows Xp on my 256 MB RaM and P4 system./ I want to install linux with windows..I have installed windows on C drive and want to install linux on F drive(i have C D E and F drives)...i also should have the option of choosing linux or windows when my computer boots..plz tell me how to go about doing this... if anyone can tell me a step by step installation guide it cud be better.. Step by step 1. Set BIOS to boot from Linux install CD 2. Insert CD 3. Reboot computer 4. Identify correct drive when asked for install location. Linux install CD will do the rest. But i did exactly what u suggested,before i asked this question... the problem is sometimes the linux installation suddenly reboots when i try to install the second CD.. Now the computer boots automatically when i install the 1st cd itself...(the installation progresses for sometime and it suddenly reboots) I THINK i dont know where to mount / and /boot.. and also where to install the boot loader(whether i shud use it on master disk or the first sector of the HARD drive..)Quote from: naren_arsenal on June 07, 2007, 12:07:38 AM But i did exactly what u suggested,before i asked this question... Suse linux reboots just once between the first and second CD. I don't know about Fedora, but it sounds like you might have a hardware fault with your computer. Quote I think i dont know where to mount / and /boot.. and also where to install the boot loader(whether i shud use it on master disk or the first sector of the hard drive..) Partition your F: drive, and mount /, swap and /boot on it. You need to put GRUB/LILO (the bootloader) on the first sector of C: Make sure you put it on /dev/hda not /dev/hda1 as it needs to be on the first sector of the disk rather than the partition. If you do it wrong its a pain to have to use the XP recovery disk to STOP your system getting stuck in a loop.I am able to mount / on F drive(ie Hda 7) ,but how can i mount /boot on the same drive(F drive or hda 7).. and where do i use the swap partition.. Im really confused... Quote from: naren_arsenal on June 11, 2007, 12:05:22 AM I am able to mount / on F drive(ie Hda 7) ,but how can i mount /boot on the same drive(F drive or hda 7).. and where do i use the swap partition.. Im really confused... Ahhh, if F: is /dev/hda7 then you mean that you have C: D: E: and F: partitions (not drives). Partly my fault too for FORGETTING that Windows creates a new letter for the partitions as well as drives. I'm not 100% sure if you can boot from an extended partition, so you might have to just define / as /dev/hda7 and forget about /boot and swap. Alternatively, what do you use D: and E: for? Could you make them into extended partitions, so that you can keep /boot as a primary partition and put / and swap as other extended partitions? (I was assuming you were talking about a slave HDD which you could partition up seperately)Atlast now u get my point... I use my D and E partitions for Music and other important things i don want to mess these partitions up... So now can u tell me how to install linux on F partition.. and where do i use the / thing...I am not able to use the SWAP partitioning(Is SWAP partition really important).. and also after i install linux i should have the option of Dual boot-up..I should have the option to choose either windows or linux...(i had partitioned my F drive as NTFS..if that is important)...Quote from: naren_arsenal on June 11, 2007, 11:54:40 PM Atlast now u get my point... Sorry about that - I'm a linux person and only recently started using Windoze Quote I use my D and E partitions for Music and other important things i don want to mess these partitions up... There are 2 ways to do this, one which might not work, and the other guaranteed to work. a) Try and see if Grub/Linux can work with extended partitions Load the linux CD, during the fdisk setup phase, tell it you want to replace F: with and extended partition, and then split that into F: G: and H: drives. Then you can mount /boot on /dev/hda7 (F:) / on /dev/hda8 (G:) and swap on /dev/hda9 (H:) Hopefully, if its not going to work Linux will tell you straight away that its not supported, without you having to go through the rest of the install and then watch it crash. b) Just use a single partition for linux Load the Linux CD, during the fdisk setup phase tell it that / is on /dev/hda7 (F:) and that there is no seperate swap or /boot. In both cases The NTFS on F: will be erased automatically to make way for linux, so don't worry about that. The bootloader(GRUB) needs to installed on /dev/hda to replace the MBR. Linux will automatically setup GRUB to give you the choice of booting from Windows on /dev/hda1 (C:) or Linux on /dev/hda7 (F:). (As I said earlier, make sure you don't put GRUB on /dev/hda1 because then when you select Windows it will find GRUB on /dev/hda1 and you'll be back where you started. So GRUB must go on /dev/hda)But During the Fdisk phase... when linux asks me where to install the bootsector ..it gives me only 2 options.. mASTER BOOT RECORD and LOAD ON THE FIRST SECTOR OF /dev/hda7... Im not gettin the option of loading bootrecord on /dev/hda....\ NOW WHAt the *censored* SHUD I DO... Quote from: naren_arsenal on June 14, 2007, 12:42:20 AM But During the Fdisk phase... when linux asks me where to install the bootsector ..it gives me only 2 options.. The MBR (Master Boot Record) is /dev/hda, that's the one you want.Ok..now i am able to use linux(fedora6) along with windows(dual boot)... thankx for all ur help... Now i have another problem ... i installed linux on hda7 and hda8... here,s wat i did during installation.... i mounted /boot on hda7(its some 996mb)and then i mounted / on hda8..and then i used swap partition on hda5...(hda8 and hda5 is almost 9GB)..... now when i login to linux im not able to view the files i installed on windows(i.e e and c partitions)...and when i log in to windows im not able to view the d and f partitions(i.e the partitions i used durin linux installations).... thts not all... im not able to read the cdrom in linux...(its giving an error like:not able to mount /dev/hda1 or some crap like that)..wat do i do NOW!!!!... i thought linux was user friendly.......... help: does konsole work only when i use the KDE environment... 'cause when i run Konsole on the GNOME environment it doesnt show up... im able to view the konsole only when i work in the KDE environment,,,,OH..wat an head ACHE i have...........You know, these problems are just the normal starting-off-with-Linux problems that most people have. I know that I did, and I also know that Google is a big help. Most of your problems that you have just described will be solved when you have a good understanding of the mount command. http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/mounting.html Linux is user friendly, but it does not hold your hand like a baby. Your problems are just because you are new, it will get better! Personally, I don't think Linux is suited to people whose method of "solving" a problem is to go to a forum and type "wat do i do NOW!!!!..." PS it's spelled "what".

Solve : Error With Fedora Based IPrediaOS & Installing Needed Files 2 Run UNetBootin?? |
Answer» Error With Fedora Based IPrediaOS & Installing Needed Files 2 Run UNetBootin?[/b][/u][/COLOR][/size] Okay, I need basically to know the exact files like if someone could link me to the 7zip for my fedora installation which I know that it is called IPrediaOS but it is based on Fedora I know I just do NOT know what verison of Fedora which is why when opening UNetBootin when opened warns that I need 7zip and some other files I cant remember so it can do what it does successfully and run right but I have found so far even the 7zip website doesn't TAKE me or direct me if you will to the needed and right Fedora files to get their program which was only one of like 3 missing programs I need to ensure UNetBootin RUNS correctly... Also my yum update and any yum commands do NOT work and always give this following error: Code: [Select]~]# yum update Loaded PLUGINS: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit http://download.ipredia.i2p/pub/iprediaos/linux/releases/1/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://download.ipredia.i2p/pub/iprediaos/linux/releases/1/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: (28, '') Trying other mirror. http://download.ipredia.org/pub/iprediaos/linux/releases/1/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://download.ipredia.org/pub/iprediaos/linux/releases/1/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: (28, '') Trying other mirror.

Solve : Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi B+: Problem with corrupted SD partition? |
Answer» Hello, I imagine that image wants to take up the whole drive, not just one partition. Therefore you would dd it to /dev/sdb - This will totally remove raspbian and replace it with your new image.I suppose that the command "dd" have to work with the whole SD card not with one partition. I try to make it work with one partition sdb6 and that`s why now i have a corrupted SD card. The weird thing in this procedure is that, the image i try to copy to the partition of my SD has Raspbian and the Lagarto Server. It should work but it did not. Raspberry Pis are not designed to run multiple OSs off of a single SD card, each image needs the whole drive to itself.With NOOBS I managed to re-install Raspbian. Now, if i write again "dd if=lagarto_rpi_0.8_2gb.img of=/dev/sdc" but this time to write the img to SD and not to a partition, it will work? Or i have to install all the parts of Lagarto (pyserial, ZeroMQ with the Python bindings and Barrel), so to be sure?If you write the image to the entire drive you should be fine.I WROTE the img to entire SD but now the Raspberry does not boot. Only black screen... Did not boot either raspbian or noobs ... What may was wrong?I brought back the correct image of the SD. And I try to install Lagarto step by step by this link https://github.com/panStamp/panstamp/wiki/lagarto#installation. I did the procedure twice, but it did not work. I can find where is the server files and i cannot run the servers. As camerongray stated, your should try the ISO on a blank SD card. If that works, you have a working solution. |

Solve : Logical Volume appears wiped! Need to recover? |
Answer» I used to run a VortexBox (http://vortexbox.org/) on my machine at home. I decided to abandon the vortebox installation on the machine and I installed Ubuntu. I specified the partitions on the machine so I know I did not format the logical volume that contained all my media, programs, etc from the vortexbox install. You need to find the type of the partition. Forgive me but that doesn't have anything to do with it. My logical volume is made up of 3 Primary Partitions on 3 Different drives. I am mount /dev/VolGroup/lv_storage to /storage. Sorry I was not help. If everything is the regular Linux file system, the DATA should be visible. |

Solve : Remove or uninstall intel graphics drivers from linux? |
Answer» OK so I have a HP dc7700 small form factor PC. Something is funny with its on BOARD graphics. Currently itis running xp. If I install the correct graphics drivers I downloaded from hp, the system will crash. This happens with all versions of windows after xp have an Intel graphic driver included with the install, they have the give the same problem. More specifically my problem is my PC with the correct graphics drivers will artifact badly, then the screen will flash and hang or windows will blue screen and restart. Sounds like the Integrated GPU is damaged. Adding a cheap healthy video card with correct drivers will cure this. I have had better luck with NVIDIA cards with Linux vs AMD cards. One last test before installing a new video card to replace the integrated from having to run graphics is a memory test using memtest86. Sometimes you can have a memory problem and because integrated video allocates like 64MB of system RAM ( varies depending on motherboard for MAXIMUM allocation) for the integrated GPU, it will cause problems... however artifacts are usually a cooked GPU.As this PC is hopefully only temporary, only a month or two, I don't want to stick any money into it. I have no issues with parted magics safe graphics mode, is there a way I can use this sort of driver by default on an installable Linux system? (probably ubuntumate)You could try using a generic driver instead of the driver intended for this system or lower the settings for the video, however if specific shaders are used for example that are damaged etc its still going to act up. I had a Geforce FX 5200 video card years ago that I wasn't aware that the small GPU fan stopped spinning and it overheated and permanently damaged the GPU. When doing everything but GAMING it was fine. But when gaming the games would start off ok and then parts of the game elements would be missing and I'd have artifacts that would build over time. Eventually it got so bad that the system would crash and reboot when specific video sequences were demanded of the damaged GPU. I ended up replacing the video card for $30 and installing this video card into the next newer system that I got. Are you planning on buying a new video card for the next system. Maybe you can get that card now and then move it from this system to the new system when the new system is bought.Quote from: DaveLembke on April 14, 2015, 06:23:05 AM I had a Geforce FX 5200 video card years ago that I wasn't aware that the small GPU fan stopped spinning and it overheated and permanently damaged the GPU.

Eventually it got so bad that the system would crash and reboot when specific video sequences were demanded of the damaged GPU.coincidentally, I had a similar problem, long ago. One of my first posts here; I found it worked when underclocking, then cracked it open and discovered the GPU Fan was completely busted. I was able to fix it with the fan from a PCI 6200FX I also had. Looking at those old posts, I just barely dodged the bullet- if I had registered a year earlier I don't even want to know what kind of stuff I would have posted... |

Answer» I recently installed eclipse and every time it loaded it crashed at the SPLASH screen so i saw (ON-THE-LINE!!!) that I should uninstall chrome and install Mozilla cause that MIGHT be the problem some how. Well like an idiot I FOLLOWED these instructions and not only eclipse still didn't work but now the new web browser I installed outputs no sound and I can't even re-install chrome now. Also my yum crashes and wont update because of something to do with virtual box (which I also UN-installed). The main thing is to just get the sound back in my browser. |

Solve : sendmail 8.14 FEATURE dnsbl seems broken? |
Answer» Hello, I am running three debian email servers and recently wanted to address spam coming in to them. One SEVER is sendmail version 8.14.4 the other two are 8.14.3. All three servers exhibit the same behavior. I added milter-greylist to each of them, it works brilliantly, stopping better than 50% of incoming spam. I then tried to install realtime dns blacklist checking using three popular free services with entries to my /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file. Two of the services, bl.spamcop.net and dnsbl.sorbs.net cause sendmail to reject every single incoming message as observed in my /var/log/mail.log file. The third black list service, zen.spamhaus.org when enabled, doesn't seem to do anything at all. I have tried all sorts of combinations, disabling greylisting, inserting the ipv6 workaround ( define(`DNSBL_MAP'...), using the enhanced blacklist feature "enhdnsbl" and activating only one blacklist at a time. Each time recompiling my sendmail.mc file and restarting sendmail. I cannot find any references to others that have had this behavior and I'm at a loss as how to troubleshoot it from here. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, they are greatly appreciated. My sendmail.mc follows at the end of this posting.

Solve : OUT OF ROOM? |
Answer» Greetings to the Group - My system is a DUAL boot with W7 and Ubuntu 14. I seldom use W but need to keep it for a few programs. So now I got this Disk Usage Analyser which is attached here. It looks like U is RUNNING out of room. So can I go to W and change some partitions to free up some room for U, or what do I need to do? As for the W side, there aren't many programs installed on that side because I hardly go there. According to this analyses, my videos and photos don't seem to be taking up much room. I really don't see much surplus to delete, but obviously there is a space problem. I guess I would like to know exactly where the U os is and how to identify it on the hard drive. I can also reduce the footprint for W to the bare minimum but need to know what that should be. All input is appreciated. There are ways to resize partitions, but its very risky. Before doing so i would backup anything critical to an external drive. Then go in and resize partitions. And from my experience resizing partitions 9 out of 10 times something breaks, and so be prepared to have to perform a total rebuild of both OS if something goes wrong. ...Something breaks 9 out of 10 times!? Really? That's not been my experience. I've resized partitions dozens of times over the years and have never once had a problem. It's always prudent to have a good backup when doing something like this but I believe that resizing partitions is not particularly risky. Yeah, I'm sorry Dave but I also have to take issue with that. I've manipulated literally hundreds (if not thousands) of partitions and hd's over the years and the only times I ran into trouble were in the very early days when I didn't pay attention to what I was doing. Is it possible to cause significant issues when performing drive level operations? Absolutely. But with today's utilities it's as close to foolproof as it can get (assuming the user takes his or her time, pays attention, and doesn't try to bypass built-in safety features). And I also agree with Strollin that when performing any drive level operation, if you create an image first you lower the risk level to close to zero.Quote Yeah, I'm sorry Dave but I also have to take issue with that. I've manipulated literally hundreds (if not thousands) of partitions and hd's over the years and the only times I ran into trouble were in the very early days when I didn't pay attention to what I was doing. Good to hear that partition resizing has gotten better. I have avoided this practice for many years. The last time I resized partitions on a dual boot Windows/Linux system was BACK around Windows 98 and RedHat 6 and it killed RedHat 6 and Windows 98 was still happy. Back then I used Partition Magic a lot and with Dual Boot Windows 98 and 2000 Pro it worked most of the time, but I think there was an issue with partition magic and Linux based partitions to where it wasnt very well at resizing Linux partitions and having them function afterwards. So based on my experiences over 12 years ago... my main concern was that they back up their data before resizing as for its not always perfect. Friends of mine who have used partition magic also have called me in a panic that they lost their data etc, and its very unlikely that they will have access to that data ever again since resizing, and not stopping there, but formatting over top of where data once was etc. The one time was to "short stroke" the drive taking a 160GB HDD and turning a single 160GB partition into 2 x 77.5GB partitions and a single 5GB swap space partition for a system with 2GB RAM. The idea of short stroking was that it would boost drive performance where the swap space would always be located in a small allocated partition space limited to very little fragmentation and fast data response times since the arm doesnt have to sweep the entire drive for scattered data, and the OS and games on the 2 other partitions etc. This attempt with partition magic was a crash and burn. He ended up creating the partitions he wanted from scratch all new and then installing windows to the 2nd partition on the drive with the 1st being the short stroke partition, and then the 3rd partition was for games and data etc. Benchmark results showed a slight gain, but it was still just an IDE HDD and if he upgraded to a SATA drive there would have been a better performance gain. Looking at the wiki I see this here with no reference to Linux compatibility: Quote Compatibility issues As well as Quote Additionally, it had somewhat limited support for ext2 and ext3 partitions. I've been running a VIRTUAL machine [VirtualBox] on my 14.04 distro and putting Windows...whatever...there. Makes it a lot easie to get to and no 'hard' partitioning needed. Works for me. Alan <>< |

Solve : how do I install the flash update?? |
Answer» I have Linux Mint Cinnamon and was using Firefox browser. It shut off the flash plugin because it said I needed to update it so I clicked the link to download the update but it did not automatically install. Instead it was some FILE that said "install_flash_player_11_linux.i386tar.g z" I clicked on that and folder opened that had "libflashplayer.so" and a folder called usr and "readme.txt". I don't know how to install that. Could someone help? Thanks I am totally new to Linux as a user and barely know how to do anything with it. I'm used to Windows but the Windows that was on that hard drive got erased by an error and I had no choice to install Linux because it was free and I could not afford atm another copy of Windows. I just wanted the computer to be functional to go online. It worked fine until suddenly today YouTube and such would not work and the browser said Flash was disabled because I needed to update it. I'm used to Windows that installs things automatically and puts them into the right folder or wherever they need to go. I did say I was being sarcastic there- The fact that Linux is plagued by these problems is a problem with the Linux ecosystem and unfortunately it's developer-centric nature doesn't tend to lend itself well to ease-of-use and configuration- having to put a .so file into some arbitrary location to install an update, as a user, is absolutely ridiculous for an Operating System in 2014.oops - SORRY! I misunderstood. I know that Linux is known as a program for people who understand much about computers so that's it's not as easy to use for those who need something designed for computer-illiterate folks, something easy. I had thought it was aggravation that a "noob" didn't know what to do lol. I will try to put the file into the folder you have mentioned. thank you (my friend was using the computer earlier so I could not try that out)okay, when I tried moving it there the computer said there was an error because I don't have permission to move it there. There is currently no other things in that folder. It's empty.Quote from: haus_kat on December 18, 2014, 12:44:23 AM I had thought it was aggravation that a "noob" didn't know what to do lol.Heh, Nope! Quite the opposite, really. I've always felt the "it's for the more technical savvy" to be a bit of a cop-out to try to explain away poor software design, and in this case requiring that the file be installed manually in this manner is very much that. I can't seem to get a straight answer from google about where it should actually go, either; the directory I provided was just one of many examples. I happen to have a Linux Mint Virtual Machine, so I searched for it myself. I found a libflashplayer.so in the directory /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins so that may be the actual location.

I happen to have a Linux Mint Virtual Machine, so I searched for it myself. I found a libflashplayer.so in the directory /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins so that may be the actual location. I ran into the same issue with Google search for a fix for this flash update for Mint 16, and just decided to give it some time and check back later and eventually there would be a fix out there for this hopefully in the next couple days, since others are running into same issues. In the meantime I have been selecting to keep running the flash whenever this pops up such as at youtube.where do you look for the fix when it is available?Quote from: haus_kat on December 20, 2014, 07:20:33 AM where do you look for the fix when it is available? Synaptic Package Manager, or your package manager that will be in your Linux distribution. It should show up if you use the menu to search for "package". I'd be skeptical of it showing up very soon.how do you search on the menu like you said? I'm a total newbie when it comes to linux |

Solve : Install Linux on old laptop with floppy drive? |
Answer» I have an old SONY Vaio PCG laptop with a corrupt Windows 2000 Pro installed on it. I don't really care about that because it is old but I would like to revive it with a small LINUX distribution. My laptop has 128mb RAM, I'm not sure about the HD size but I know it is several gigabytes. I also have a Linksys Wireless-N card, an external floppy drive that works well and an external CD drive that doesn't seem to work when I TRY to boot from CD (it is LISTED first on the BIOS as Atapi CD Drive though). I tried to install Debian from netinstall floppies but I only received a bunch of errors when loading the boot floppy. I like UBUNTU but the requirements may be too high. My best option would be to install from a floppy and do a network install of some OS (hoping the wireless card will work). What can I do???If you do this, you might come across this. Hopefully you can find some help there. |

Solve : My Transition Away from Ubuntu? |
Answer» Over the past several months I've been getting complacent with my Ubuntu install, for many reasons. The biggest one being that I felt like I had learned everything I could whilst using that as my primary distro. Over the past 5 years I've used a variety of Linux distributions; SuSE, Blag, Ubuntu, Slax, CentOS, Puppy, ClearOS, BackTrack, among others. However, I always went back to Ubuntu for some reason or another, mostly, though, because it was "easy". That all changed here a few months back. |

It should be helpful to KerryE. Quote from: indogo on October 20, 2010, 04:50:06 AM There are machines preloaded with linux though they tend to be netbooks....Two other options which might avoid the need to purchase another computer: 1) install Linux on an existing Windows computer in a dual-boot configuration. This allows you to start the computer under either Windows or Linux. 2) install the Linux OS as a Virtual Machine (VM), using VM software such as Orcale's VirtualBox or VMware Player. This allows running Windows and Linux simultaneously on the same machine.Quote from: indogo on October 20, 2010, 04:50:06 AM Don't ask for directions in France Why not?Thank you for the replys.

Solve : GRUB is not loading? |
Answer» I installed the fedora 11 on the D-drive of the Window vista business but now my GRUB is not loading .I am new at the Linux .Please Help..Try restore the GRUB with SuperGRUB Booting GRUB for DOS via the Windows Vista boot managerIt how you add an entry for grub/linux to a standard Vista menu. Its the least obtrusive method (handy if retailers throw warranty invalidation at you) and then you create a menu.lst in the usual way to boot whatever....note a recovery partition usually moves partition numbering up one as grub will see it. bcdedit is run from the console as administrator...see google for that one as even when logged in as admin you have to open the console with extra priviledges. Note {id} is the number returned from the first command..took me a while to realise that one lol. In your case if you wish to try this you need booting restoring to the standard vista method first.Hey Geek-9pm, does that work with IDE hard drives configured as master/slave on one ribbon cable? that's a great tip if i can take advantage of it.edit: Google search Yes. Go into your bios setup and look at all the options. If you have two or more drives in you system, there will a boot time menu after you hit the f12* key just before the HDD loader. This should be documented somewhere in the help area. On my system I can select from one of six drives just after POST. Floppy CD ROM first SATA second SATA first IDE second IDE This can be very hard to find in the DOCUMENTATION! http://biosagentplus.com/techsupport/award/awardmanuals/setup600.pdf * or some other key.Geek-9pm, my fault. SOMEHOW i hadn't noticed that the instructions you gave referred to vista, i'm using xp. would i still be able to do this? i'll be checking the link you provide anyway. i love those kind of tricks. there's alot of useful tools in the bios. i have nowhere's near the expertise that i wish i had. thanks.The BIOS boot menu can be used with any OS. In effect, the BIOS sets which device is the C: drive by a flip-flop on the motherboard. Geek-9pm, i didn't quite realize what you were talking about. after checking out the link i realized that you were talking about simply changeing the boot order. i've got a spare 'test' computer setup right now, so i figured i would just slap a distro on the center plug-in to see what would happen. at first it didn't work, because it wasn't detected. then i changed the jumper and it was detected, but it still wasn't booting to it. i went into bios and changed the boot order and it went into the other OS. while i was on a roll, i switched back and forth several times, just to become 'proficient' i usually prefer dual-boot setups (especially seeing the operating system on the grub menu to choose), but lately i've had graphic/display troubles that couldn't be resolved and had to reinstall. having bootable single-OS's on a hard drive has it's upside. thanks.We started talking about GRUB and then we got into BIOS boot options. As I MENTIONED earlier, it can be do in GRUB, but it takes awhile going through ball the things you have to do to get it right. Getting GRUB & Vista To Work Together The BIOS has both a boot order option and a boot menu. Om a DELL PC it can be F12. Or maybe F11. One machine in the shop has F8 and you have to be quick to hit it before windows starts. Otherwise Windows gives you yet another boot menu. Very annoying . Look in you BIOS manual. Geek-9pm, sort of like booting into safe mode with windows. there's maybe a five second window where you're able to get in by pushing f8. i don't mean to hijack the thread from the OP, wish i had a solution for him. it's good to be reminded of the capabilities of the bios/setup utility. anyone who has mastered it, will be benefit greatly. one step closer to geekdom. thanks again. |
