I just installed a Linux distro based on Ubuntu 9.04. It is very user friendly. I don't like the Start Menu, but that's easily changed by choosing the Gnome Desktop. I used a program called [URL=http://unetbootin.sourceforge.netUnbooten[/URL] to install on my flash drive. You need to check...

I've seen some discussion about flash drive installation of Win 7 but no actual metrics and cautions/advice. Here goes... I installed 7260 X86 on an Inspiron 6000 Laptop (no speed demon) in 17 minutes flat. One word of caution, you have to temporarily remove the flash drive at each re-boot...

That's the situation, I tried to do a backup, it would not let me save to the network folder I always use, because Microsoft has decided to force us to use passwords even if we don't need or want them. So, I tried to use the dvd option, it said incompatible media(?(it said dvd, I used a dvd but...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but every time I try to sync to a device, whether it be an SD card, an MP3 player, or even just a random flash drive, Windows Media Player seems to refuse to convert any of the files... It manages to copy the files that don't need conversion, but the files that...

After installing the windows 7 RC, the keyboard, trackpoint, and wireless were not working on my Lenovo X60 tablet (external devices would work, but I could not even turn the wireless device on). This is apparently a problem with many lenovo machines discussed on this forum, and I thought I'd...

Ok, so i tried installing Win 7 RC1 on an external HDD, but got following problems: 1. on eSATA it wouldn't see it, as i assume the drivers for the controller are loaded after booting, during windows startup (if any one knows a workaround for this, something as a startup flash drive for loading...

Hi. Yesterday I read (either in this forum or somewhere else, maybe in a torrents site) how to make the installation of Windows 7 build 7100 RC allow the upgrade from a beta. Now I need it and I can't find it... Thanks Found it (sorry) To upgrade from beta you need to: - Extract the .iso...

I have a flash drive that has been sitting around for awhile, I finally decided to do somehting with it, and low and behold, its FAT32. Obviously, Vista had some serious issues with FAT32 flash drives, but I had high hopes for 7. It worked the first time I inserted it, and then when I tried to...

Step by step tutorial. Took me about 6 minutes. Installs from a flash drive tend to take about 75% of the time it takes with a DVD. On my C2Q Q6600 it meant 20 mins instead of 29. This is for those who are having issues with running from a DVD, or just want to try it out/get it done faster...

7 won't recognize the driver for it, I actually put the driver on a flash drive, moved it manually to the drivers folder and it would not recognize it when I manually used that location for a driver. Any ideas would be useful, because I can't even get on the internet under it right now and I...

Hi. I just bought a new 8GB Transcend USB Flash drive. After opening the packet I went ahead and formatted it because I was told formatting would erase any spyware on the drive. Why I did that is not the issue. After formatting it, the computer recognised the drive is plugged into the USB...
