Ubuntu :: Setup Did Not Find Any HD Installed In Your Computer?

Jul 5, 2010

getting this message when trying to install XP."Setup did not find any HD installed in your computer." I have Ubuntu installed on another partition so it makes no sense that XP doesn't recognize my HD.

Ubuntu Installation :: XP With Existing Setup (Partitions) - Error "Setup Did Not Find Any Hard Disks Installed On Your Computer"

Feb 18, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and previously had a separate partition with another distro on it. I decided to delete the other distro's home and swap partitions and install XP in place of it. I've been following these instructions: [URL] and [URL] I have gotten to the point where I am booting to the XP CD and want to install it, but I get the message, "Setup did not find any hard disks installed on your computer" when I should be getting to the screen that asks me to select a partition to install XP on. This is what my HDD looks like in GParted:

I want to install XP in the unallocated partition, but I have a feeling I screwed up somewhere along the way and probably don't fully understand the whole thing. Even if I try to format the unallocated partition to NTFS I can't make it a primary partition (I assume because it's within sda2). The very last thing I want to do is delete my Ubuntu partition and start from scratch, but if that's my last option let me know.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Find A Way To Watch Videos From Main Desktop Computer On Another Computer?

Jul 9, 2011

I've been trying to find a way to watch videos from my main desktop computer on another computer I've plugged into an HDTV. I'm such a Linux newbie that I decided to give Mythbuntu a try. It was way to complicated for what I needed, and I'm sure that some more experienced people reading my first two sentences laughed to themselves at my naivety.

What I am trying to find is simple: browsing one computer's home folder from another computer, and playing the videos therein. If there's anything like Mythvideo that requires less than half of the skill requirements, I will telepathically send love to the person that informs me of it.

Ubuntu Installation :: OS From Computer With It Already Installed?

Oct 15, 2010

I was wondering if it's possible to rip the Ubuntu OS from a computer with it already installed? Since I downloaded Ubuntu many moons ago, I've lost the disc and my internet only allocates a certain amount of gig to be downloaded before being slowed. Which has already happened this month, so it'd take me 3-4 days to download Ubuntu again. And I need it today, if possible. So I would like to try and get the OS from the computer with Ubuntu already installed, so I can install Ubuntu on the other 2 laptops in the house.

Mar 29, 2011

I have a Toshiba satellite l505d-gs6000, it had a duel boot Linux mint and windows(although i have not used windows for over a year on my computer).

It had 4 partitions i shrunk my main windows partition again and made more space, i reformatted /dev/sda3 (windows restore) to ext4 and installed openSUSE, i used the same swap partition. openSUSE removed GNU GRUB and now i can only boot into windows and openSUSE, the partition that mint is installed on is still there (/dev/sda6) but i cannot boot into it. also wireless networking does not work on openSUSE.

Ubuntu :: VPN Server Setup - Using Computer Via Phone?

Sep 25, 2010

I'm trying to setup a vpn server so I can use my computer via phone. My phone only supports pptp, l2tp and l2tp/ipsec psk. I would like to surf the web, browse files etc. I've been using this guide [URL] but get stuck on the part.
Finally, disable and re-enable ufw to apply the changes:
sudo ufw disable && sudo ufw enable
I get the error:
ERROR: problem running ufw-init
So is there any simple way to get a vpn working on this thing? Or at the very least an in-depth guide that covers what would happen if something goes wrong.

Ubuntu :: Install/Setup For Computer To Be Sold?

Feb 15, 2011

I have toyed with the idea of building some systems with Ubuntu to sell locally. Most of the systems I see advertised in the local papers seem WAY over priced, so I thought I could make a few bucks by selling competitive systems. However, I would rather send them out with Ubuntu on them. Maybe the $100 savings over the other OS might get a few more people trying out Ubuntu.

However, I would rather have the system installed, but have it go through some of the questions from the normal install to set up the user accounts, computer name etc... I would not want systems going with with usernames and computer names that I selected.

I have done some searching, and have found "how to's" for making your own install disk (custom packages already part of it, back grounds etc...) but that is not really what I want. Plus, an install like this could then be an easy way for local computer shops to sell computers with Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Computer Insists That GRUB Is Not Installed ?

Aug 22, 2010

basically, I had Ubuntu installed and decided to reinstall windows on the same pc on a partition on the same hdd. Now i need to restore grub to be able to boot Ubuntu.

I've done this a million times, what ive done is that ive inserted my old ubuntu 8.10 disc and followed this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 but now that wont work since 8.10 doesnt read ext4 which I upgraded to a while ago. (at least I think thats why it wont work in 8.10)

I downloaded the newest ubuntu to the same thing from that disc but when I type "sudo grub" it simply tells me that grub is not installed despite the fact that it is (and ubuntu 8.10 seemed to recognize that it was, it would just stop when i typed "find /boot/grub/stage1".

Ubuntu :: Computer Freezes Almost Daily - 11.04 Installed?

Jun 10, 2011

my wife's desktop has been freezing almost daily, leading to a reboot. It's an HP Pavilion (specs here) and it has Ubuntu 11.04 installed since soon after 11.04 came out. There doesn't seem to be really any rhyme or reason to the crashes, except that it might happen more often when she's web browsing with Firefox. I tried looking at /var/log/syslog, but to be honest I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. I did notice that syslog would stop recording at the same time the mouse and keyword freeze. Has any one seen this problem or be able to give me some advice on how to find out what's going on?

Hardware :: Computer Not Boot Reliably (Ubuntu And XP Installed)

Feb 18, 2011

I'm having trouble getting this computer to boot up a lot of the time. It's an older AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+. Motherboard is (apparently, I'm just copying from the Sysinfo app) AMD K8 Athlon64 Opteron. I have Ubuntu Jaunty and Windows XP installed, but I don't know how relevant that is. When booting, it will simply stop around the stage where it detects the HDD and DVD drive, or right after. The last thing I see is the line with the DVD drive being found. I can't get into the BIOS, it does not make it that far before freezing.

If I keep rebooting, sometimes it will boot normally allowing me to access BIOS settings or make it to GRUB and start up the OS. If I do manage to boot the computer successfully, it is extremely stable. I often go months without a reboot. The problem is it's nice to be able to reboot once in a while without fear of the computer crossing over into the land of the dead. I can't figure out what's wrong, but the problem seems to be very early in the booting stage.

General :: Cannot Change The Default Setup Of The Computer?

Jul 23, 2011

I would like to run Windows (XP preferred) games and Linux on my MacBook Pro I got from school. However, there are some rules I have to follow. If I need to I will try to further clarify the rules, since they are in Swedish and there isn't a perfect translation. I cannot use Boot Camp. This is because Windows machines get viruses 24/7 and there are no viruses on Mac. Furthermore, we are using Visual Studio for about half the things we do through a virtual machine. Perfect for debugging, performance and "virtual machines don't get viruses", right? At least that's what my teachers think. I cannot change the default setup of the computer. In Swedish this basically tells me I cannot even start it up because then I will mount the drive, and make changes in RAM, and use the processor, and move electrodes from the battery and so on. They're telling me that that's way to specific, though, and that we aren't allowed to change the operating system files. I think we break that rule with each update, install or setting we ever touch. I may not use any program without first showing a receipt. The original casing, CD and the CD key isn't enough. A license like GNU is ok, though.

I basically need a way to boot into a USB drive or CD, with the ability to use network and DX9 to play games on Windows. Linux support isn't as crucial since OS X does have a lot of Linux support already. I've tried other ways of working around the rules like running games in Wine but I can't get DX9 based games to work and the FPS is terrible. They have the right to check the computer at any time to see if there is something bad there. Swapping a harddrive will definately be noticed.

Programming :: Which Version Of Java Should Installed On Computer?

Should I install 5.0 so that the examples from the book will work perfectly? Will I run into confusing situations or problems if I try the example exercises using Java 6?
