zion32: I have tried it and its working fine.My pc came with windows 8 peinstalled and now i have successfully dualbooted with ubuntu12.04 LTS.Two things are (1) disable secure boot (2) leave uefi mode enabled. with this two set in your bios you should be fine.The only PROBLEM is after installing ubuntu when you restart,it will take you straight to windows 8,To boot ubuntu restart and go to boot manager (on my hp 650 laptop i get there by pressing f9 ) you should now see your ubuntu partition,select it and grub 2 shows up.(you will need to do this everytime you want to boot to ubuntu.

everytime ke.. dat one go tire me oo.. na jst 2 virtualize be d next option

[quote author=dl_jbd]I must confess , I'm really considering change my system OS completely from Windows to Ubuntu . Didn't know I have been wallowing in oblivion using Windows all my lifetime ...Ubuntu is the light at the end of the tunnel and I need shades cos the light is kinda too bright right now . Guys, what do you suggest? I use a DELL N4050, i3, 500HHD, 4GB ram, 1GB dedicated graphic card...how would this perform ubuntuly? [/quote]4 me i dont like dual booting stuff. u ve got a nice pc spec.. get vmware work station and install ubuntu side by side..so u can actually boot ur windows and still run ur ubuntu os @ d same time.

guest na guest.. u have no access 2 dat windows folder... u nor get dat permission simple.....

Yahoo1: so how do i go about it pls?

Stop this easy bcd of a thing...You might just end crashing your system if you are not very careful.

there is no harm in tryin lol..na so everybody take start. take risk wen u fit bear lol

Donsammi: [b/] its not there ... But i discover an error wen i mistakely press f11 instead of f10 then recovery manger did nt boot .. It gv error i shld get a windows cd and repair it ... Error x00000025 .... Am formattinq the system as in factory restore .. It is disabled: said recovery media shd be used... So i hv backed up all important files got 3 DVD to create recovery media.. Doinq the 1st dvd burning and verifying section 82% nepa took the liqht i just hibernate the system.. Hope no probs with that.... So as to resume it later.. Briqhtk suqqestion to slipstream drivers will be beta into winxp..... I wan to do a factory reset and install both win7 and winxp .... Wit a clean system

naija nor go kill me with laf.. u de burn cd nepa take light u come hibernate lolololololol... me i nor know abt dat one oooo...let me ask u now did u see my previous post.. dual booting winxp and win7 is some how tricky.

win7 vs winxp is tricky cos if u ve win7 installed n u intend 2 install winxp hmmm winxp will try 2 overwrite the boot loader.. at the end of the day u will find only xp booting n u nor seein an option for win7..although there is a fix 4 it but i havent played with it cos d last time it happened, d owner of the pc was in a hurry.. and i just wiped d hdd installed xp first den win7 later.

unless u want 2 play around n mess up ur pc den u can go ahead n install xp with win7 installed first den u can look for the fix 2 correct d bootloader. i 4 look out 4 a way 4 u but i nor get d hardware 2 experiment 4 now....or maybe u can do a clean wipe of the hdd install xp first and den win7..


but my best bet is jst 2 run winxp along side win7 in vmware..i.e if u ve at leat 4gb ram or even 3gb..

carlitoz: I dialled d code *440*161# 4 d bbunlimitedon my android witout credit n it told me I wasn't eligible 4dz service......wat dhu I do....plz help

is it *440*161*4# or jst *440*161#.. ok u nor get choice since de say u are not eligible.. just subscribe as normal 2gb 1500... jst dial d normal code *440*161#

Dikachiii: Please how do I locate dell d610 ram?

i can remember there are 2 slots for ram.. one is visible (underneath the laptop) while the other can be seen wen u take d laptop apart... remove d keyboard---close 2 the touch pad i tink on the right hand side.... u will find it there.gudluck

deji2009: Given brighttk advice pls consider the following

Make sure u know what u r doing
before dual booting xp and
Windows together.

I dislike
offering tutorial on something
like this. its so complex and
u need to mk sure u know what u r
doing.

If u check prev msg today I advised someone
to boot to bios by using f10 or f2 and play around the bios until u see
native mode, compatibility mode, change it from ACHI to legacy or compatibility mode


In a nutshell achi orsata mode is fvista and windows 7

when installing xp u either change it to the second on the list
or disable it and when u want to boot windows 7 u need to go to bios and
reverser it.

i de quick de 4get tins dese days oo.hmmmm not all laptops have this option to change the sata mode from achi 2 ide or compatible mode.. pls play around with the options in ur bios 2 find out.. morealso there might be some hitches cos by default the file system of xp will overwrite dat of ur windows 7 boot loader... although there are fixes for this but i havent tried any of them..

the last time i did a dual boot. the win7 didnt boot up only xp.. there was no time 2 fix the bootloader since it was urgent.. so we had 2 install xp first and den reinstall win7.. abeg nor try experiment except u want to t end up crashing ur live system.. if u have enough ram in ur pc say at least 4gb just get vmware workstation and u can run xp side by side with ur window 7..

but if u have above 4gb ram...den u can actually use vmware 2 actually experiment dual booting win7 n xp all inside the vmware...at least u go learn

dr dams: D "follow cum" iyash blow!! D charger gets very stupidly hot.. D charge output is exactly 19v..
Dunno if its china (as in inferior) sha bt its not d 1 dat came with the pc..
N yea, made in china was written on it..

i once wrote a tutorial how u can use ur systems 4 ur yrs 2 come without actually repairing hardware parts.. only God knows d damages caused by this ur new charger..anyway..get a follow coem charger and a surge protector.... shud be around 4k excluding the surge protector-- abeg buy from reputable store.. back 2 ur pc.. try n power the pc without d charger. hope say ur battery still de work abi na desktop or ups u de use

Donsammi: bro start ooh . . . i gat winxp sp3 and sp2 .. iso downloaded all necessary files wit that mtn 7gband3gb repectively ... or u can give me linkz but simple tutorials as well .. no p

ok.. i will do a new set of cd.. i already posted the links for everytin u need.. jst get the normal xp cd in the market.. download the sp3 that u will integrate its abt 3 hundred n sometin.. both the sata ahci controllers and the inf utility are not up 2 30mb..i am going 2 upload a tutorial..last reminder. make sure u have .net framework installed at least 2.0 is recommended bt if u ve higher version no prob

deji2009: try it without charger plugged in

is ur charger original or china ?

is ur charger below 16v or more than 19v
check underneath the charger.

does ur charger get very hot

i skipped this one.. did u change ur pc charger recently check ur system 4 d required charger voltage( its written underneath the case.. if u cant find it there.. pull out the battery and u will see the description there..also try n si if it works well on batteries only

alexwizzy556: please my hp compaq system is showing red light and beep continuously. i have tried to change the ram and the processor is the giving the same problem. please is there any solution to this problem. reply

how many ram slot do u have.. and how many ram stick is on ur laptop..

if u have 2 rams.. i would advise switching slots with first ram.. if notin works out repeat it with the other... if it still has d same problem.. try n put ur laptops ram stick in2 another laptop and power it.. if it doesnt show up.. i guess ur sticks are bad..but if it does theres no harm in trying another set of sticks on ur laptop .(make sure they in working condition---test on other pc be4 insertin in2 ur own pc)

try another stick of ram probably same type 2 avoid mismatching.. repeat the same process above if it is 2 stick.. even with one stick u can still repeat d process..

now if the above doesnt work at all.. den i guess its time 2 take ur laptop apart.just try n above n get back........

if notin happen..den its time 2 take d laptop apart..try removing the processor and power d board ordinarily

KazeKage1: Well most Atom laptops usually ship with 1GB RAM or more and they run Windows 7 smoothly so YES, your laptop will be able to run Windows 7.

Cheers

did i hear u say smoothly ....even microsoft recommends 2gb of ram 2 run windows 7 smoothly.i nor even add process join..sef.even wtih the minimal resources on windows 7 starter.. it still lags...abeg nor push d guy..

even if u get it on.. hope u will be ready 4 drivers problem...if u tink windows 7 installs all drivers... den u must be be a comedian.. those are generic drivers from microsoft... u must install d real drivers else u will find some functions not working the way they ought 2 work..gudluck all d same

please u piple shud stop buying the former airtel modem n others.. there is a new airtel modem in town (zte).. it can be unlocked with dccrap.. i just bot 2 n unlocked dem..

u re goin 2 love this modem.. cos it has some tweaks 2 give u up 2 50mbps...lol
