I have ubuntu lucid as the primary os on our main computer here at home. Due to some compatibility issues (wife), I need to install Windows xp instead of lucid as the primary os on this computer. I do plan to put ubuntu back on it as dual boot, beings that I don't particularly care for windows for what I use this computer for.I'm usually fairly competent when it comes to installing operating systems and whatnot, but for some reason this computer will not boot from my xp boot cd, irregardless of whether or not I select boot from cd.. It just boots straight to ubuntu.

I have a situation where I am trying to move some data from a Linux computer to a Windows computer. In all there is 700GB of data to move in about 1.5 million files, so I don't want to do this over the network.My first thought was to use an external USB hard drive and create an NTFS partition and copy the files from the linux computer to mount on the Windows computer. After 4 days of copying without completion I abandoned that idea. I thought the NTFS might be slowing it down, so I created an EXT3 partition. 4 Days later it was still copying. I did some calculations and there was no way the USB 2.0 connection was that slow. I then used ddrescue and cloned the drive to be copied overnight and it took about 12 hours. i was able to mount the USB drive under Linux and access the files appropriately. The only problem is that I can not access that USB drive on my Windows 7 computer. I have tried Explore2fs, DiskInternals Linux Reader, and Ext2 Installable File System For Windows, but none of them is recognizing the external drive.

View 3 Replies View Relatedit started with rooting my Motorola Droid. I got quite interested in the whole rooting/linux "world". The only problem is, my hands move A LOT faster than my brain does. I'm an "educated novice" at best when it comes to all of this and still learning slowly, but surely. I followed an online tutorial and before I realized quite what i'd done, I had dual installed Ubuntu linux 10.10 on my laptop. ISO'd this, partitioned that and realized....i'm in way over my head. Then I started researching how to just go back in time and get my "safe" windows vista back until I'm ready to make the switch to linux and just ended up getting more confused.

I can't boot Ubuntu or Window 7 on my computer. Here is what happens when I try to start my computer, this is what I get:P1010028 (COPY).jpg.It then restarts and does the same thing.I tried plugging an ethernet cable into the computer and then my printer. This is what I got: P10
Right now I am using a Live CD. How do I fix this?if I need to add anything.The last thing I did was setup my printer on Ubuntu, restart the computer, boot Windows 7, then later when I tried to reboot, this is what happened.
I admit it, Ubuntu is a good system, but I only installed it onto a Windows 98 because I wanted it to connect with a newer computer. It didn't work, and now I have to stand by so I can select my version. How can I remove Ubuntu now?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to have my Linux box (a QNAP TS-210 NAS) send the order to go to sleep (or hibernation) to my main Windows 7 computer.As the NAS is running Linux, I can't use psshutdown from SysInternals' PsTools. Is there any Linux equivalent? Or some "magic packet" that can order the Win7 computer to sleep.I know I could install a SSH daemon and trigger a shutdown command from the Linux box using ssh, but ideally I do not want to install anything on the Win7 computer. I can install Linux software on the NAS, no problem about this. PHP, python and perl are also available on it.

I am able to connect to my Win XP box shares but I cannot connect to my Win 7 (64 bit) box I get the usual 'Unable to mount location'. I can get to the Win 7 share from my other Win box so it is a valid share. I also cannot connect via the Remote desktop viewer. I am afraid that if I cannot get this going my Ubuntu experiment i over before it started.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI could be wrong, but I swear that when I first considered switching to Linux a few years back the gnome windows manager's main menu had an option to exit said windows manager. There is obviously no such option now. Looking at some other forums, it seems that you can START gnome properly... but to exit the windows manager you have to kill processes? If I want to close down the Gnome WM without rebooting the computer - say, to just try TWM alone, or some other WM - there must be a 'legal' way to do it.
