Designjet 500 Various Operating systems
We have a windows SBE 2003 server and connect to XP, vista 32bit & windows 7 64 bit.
How can i install the printer on the server and share it to all these OS's to print successfully, the 64bits OS's give error messages when they use the 32 bit driver,
Thank you

Reader - CD Distributon for various Operating Systems
I produce written reports for my clients + I give them a CD with the report in .pdf. I want to distribute acrobat on the CD as well, and I notice that when I download the English version for Windows Vista it appears to be the exact same file as the version for Windows XP; same size, same name, etc. Also I see that the different files I downloaded for Windows ME and Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 SP1, etc. seem to be the exact same file. QUESTION 1a: Can I put one file on my CD and label it as for Win XP and for Win Vista, then another one and label it for ME, & 2000 & 2000 SP1, etc. or is there some subtle difference requiring me to provide a separate file for each? QUESTION 1b: If they are the same file, is there a list somewhere stating the various OS's that this or that file is for?
When you get a distribution license for Adobe Reader, it will only
allow you to distribute the most recent version. For Windows systems,
this is Reader 8.1.2, and this runs in most recent systems. If someone
has too old a system, they will not be able to get the software from
you, but must be directed to Adobe.
Here are the system requirements for current versions of Adobe Reader
(and some older ones):

How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?
How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?
I am attempting to create multiple live USBs within one flashdrive so that i can boot various operating systems without having to buy multiple USb sticks. I am using a Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Operating System currently. I am using the Terminal provided by the OS.
I would like to try Debian, Kali, Precise Puppy, and Sabayon- with one space left empty for whatever Linux OS I would like to try next. I have partitioned an 8GB flashdrive into the following sections:
name of intended OS, space allocated for it:
1)Debian ........................1.32 GB
2)Kali..............................2.61GB
3)Precise Puppy..............163.7MB
4)Sabayon.......................1.77GB
5)TBD..............................2.14GB
I have figured out how to change the .iso files of the operating systems into .img files with the following commands:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW /path/to/input.iso -o /path/to/output.img
a .img.dmg file is created, this is corrected in the next line of code *please note: I am a a very beginner at programming, and would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!
mv /path/to/output/file.img{.dmg,}
This is where I started to get confused:
I entered diskutil list to find the location of the partitions on my flashdrive, and this is the relevant section:
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *8.0 GB disk1
1: DOS_FAT_32 DEBIAN 1.3 GB disk1s1
2: DOS_FAT_32 KALI 2.6 GB disk1s2
3: DOS_FAT_32 PRECISE 163.7 MB disk1s3
4: DOS_FAT_32 SABAYON 1.8 GB disk1s5
5: DOS_FAT_32 TBD 2.1 GB disk1s6
This is the code I attempted to use and the subsequent result:
charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m
dd: /dev/disk1s1: Resource busy
*at this point I went to the Disk Utility GUi and unmounted only the DEBIAN partition, now back to the terminal*
charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m
dd: /dev/disk1s1: end of device
1259+0 records in
1258+1 records out
1320005632 bytes transferred in 1011.966891 secs (1304396 bytes/sec)
Please may someone help explain why I had a return value of +1 in my records in and how I can make it work properly.I would like to know the answer to this as well. I tried renaming the 3D version by adding 3D after it, but it still not a separate movie in iTunes.
It's putting them in the same folder. -
Installing Multiple Operating Systems with grub and Arch Linux
NOTE: Please keep in mind that there are many different ways to achieve this same result using various loop and ramdisk methods, read this with a separate window to jot down your comments and suggestions... this is ongoing for me so any help would be appreciated!
Read the full article at Install Multiple Os without cds
This is my first post and I plan on making this topic an official HOWTO with www.tldp.org.
I have been into the computer security scene since 1990, but I realized that I had very little experience with the various LInux, Unix, and alternative Operating systems out there.
I have a CD-RW drive but being a struggling computer security researcher I had no money for blank cd-recordables. What follows is how I managed to install various operating systems on my computer (1 hard drive) without having to burn to a CD the ISO and then boot from that.
I first partitioned my 120GB harddrive into 10 partitions, the 2nd partition is a small swap and the last partition is extra large because it holds all the ISO images..
I then wrote a small shell script to automatically download (I love wget!) the following.
OpenBSD
IpCOP
Libranet
Arch-Linux
Fire
Local Area Security
Packet Master
Devil-Linux
FreeBSD
Knoppix
Helix
Gentoo
Yoper-Linux
NetBSD
RedHat
Slackware
The script also downloaded Installation manuals and md5 checksums.. (let me know if I should post... its pretty unsophisticated
I installed Slackware (personal favorite) on hda1 using my last blank CD-R, note that I do not have a separate boot partitino. (Should I?). I also installed grub on the MBR. I love grub, if you read through the man pages and all info you can find about grub, you can learn a whole lot. Grub has much more features and capability than lilo, even though lilo comes installed by default with slack.
I organize my kernel situation as follows... In my /boot directory, I mkdir KERNEL, CONFIG, MAP, INITRD and that is a good way for me to keep my kernels and everything organized.. Another good way is a separate dir for each new kernel.
Since Arch-Linux is a solid distro, I'll use that as a first example.
Here is the Arch-Linux section of my shell script
goge Arch-Linux
$w http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/archlinux/arch-0.6.iso
$w http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/archlinux/arch-0.6.md5sum
$w http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/install/arch-install-guide.html
md55
cat arch-0.6.md5sum
md5sum arch-0.6.iso
md55
The first thing to do is to mount the downloaded ISO image so we can use it as if it were an actual CD.
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cdimage /mnt/cdrom
Where cdimage= the ISO image. EX. /usr/local/src/ISO/Linux/Arch-Linux/arch-0.6.iso
This mounts the iso as /mnt/cdrom.
Next you need to copy /mnt/cdrom to a separate partition for the booting process. So mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda9. ( I prefer reiserfs or even XFS to ext but if you use something other than ext2 you could run into some problems because some of the installation kernels and initrds don't include support for reiserfs and so can't recognize the files. Although you could use mkinitrd to create a new initrd with reiserfs support, that might be pushin it IMO... I use the 9th partition consistently for this. I know there is a "right" way to copy the /mnt/cdrom files so everything stays the way it is supposed too, using tar or cpio, but I'm lazy so I just do cp -rp.
(What is the tar or cpio commands to copy with correct permissions etc??)
So you mount the 9th partition as whatever, say /mnt/hd and then copy the files. Now what?
Now edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to include the specific options to boot arch-linux installation.
A good idea is to find the isolinux.cfg file somewhere on the distro cd, this will tell you what to include in the menu.lst.
Here is the section in my menu.lst
title Arch Install
root (hd0,8)
kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 root=/dev/rd/0
initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img
This should be self-explanatory. The root (hd0,8) is pointing to partition 9. So the rest of the commands start from partition 9.
When you experience problems, remember you can always edit the grub boot options by typing 'e' and then edit the section. Also, a good idea is to include several variations in your menu.lst so you can easily try other ways to boot efficiently. And, remember to read up on all the installation guides that come with your distro, specifically, hard-disk installs.
There are special cases, Gentoo, has a semi-new compressed filesystem called squashfs. BTW, this is AWESOME, so check it out. It has to be compiled into the kernel, so some work is in order, but use this recompile to optimize your kernel. You can get the squashfs patch for almost any kernel. I use the latest stable 2.6 kernel. Squashfs is incredible and although I don't think you need it to install from ISO, you do need it to expand the livecd.squashfs filesystem that comes with the cd.
Heres a sample Gentoo section from my menu.lst
title Gentoo Install
root (hd0,8)
kernel /isolinux/gentoo root=/dev/ram0
initrd=/isolinux/gentoo.igz init=/linuxrc acpi=off looptype=squashfs loop=/livecd.squashfs cdroot vga=791 splash=silent
A nother' tip is the shell that is provided if you experience problems, typically busybox or ash. The key tools to get you going from here is mount and chroot. Sometimes you will need to manually create a simulated file system and then chroot into it. For instance, you might have to create boot, etc, bin, directories on the target partition.
I generally install each OS onto the next partition (careful of the logical partition) and add it to my menu.lst after install. A good idea is after installation, copy the kernel and initrd(if there is one) to the slackware(or whatever) boot partition on hda1. I copy kernels to /boot/KERNEL/ and initrd's to /boot/INITRD, then menu.lst is more organized...
You then need to add an updated section to your menu.lst (just comment out the install section for later)
Here is the finished arch-linux section from menu.lst
title Arch Linux 6
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 ro root=/dev/hdc3
This doesn't use my convenient boot/KERNEL/vmlinuz26 as you can tell by setting the root to partition 3.
***NOTE: Make a backup of MBR using dd and save to floppy, also backup the partition table to floppy, using cfdisk or parted. And boot disks (I use 1 with grub, and 1 with slack, and tomsbootdisk) will invariably come in handy. Tomsbootdisk is recommended, and make the grub boot disk when you install grub. install to floppy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The final result after some fun experimenting, is when I boot, I have a cool grub boot screen come up with the option to boot into whatever OS I want, this is handy for multiple reasons. One good thing to do after this is to port scan and vuln scan each OS, after you update of course. Write this stuff down and you will know the weaknesses/strengths of the various OS's.
I can boot a custom Firewall, snort, or multiple honeypots using this procedure, as well as a graphical kde environment with a kernel optimized for graphics and my processor/architecture, or an environment devoted to forensics or even an environment suitable for programming.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
P.S. Some of the cooler alternative operating systems are BeOS 5, EOS, ER_OS, V2_OS, and my personal favorite Menuet. Menuet is 100% assembly graphical operating system that fits on a floppy. Its f'in money!
This should be a good enough example to get you started, this kind of thing should be learned and not just copied... Knowing how to do this stuff could prove to be exceptionally useful...Start by reading all the articles built-in on your Mac - Help > Mac Help, search "printer sharing."

Anyway to create custom page size for designjet 500? wasting way too much paper!
just got a hp designjet 500 from jobsite. hooked up to mac. everything prints fine................
EXCEPT
ok i did a simple test 'strip' in adobe illustrator setting the width of the document to 36" which is the size of the paper roll i'm using. i had placed a couple of strips of the same objects with different color fills close to the bottom of the 'artboard'. when going to select print i realized that the printer only recognizes standard page sizes and does not allow me to change to a custom size to say like 36"w by 4" h. so the print came out in the center of a 48" long size piece of paper which obviously wastes soooo much paper.
so i can't create a custom size print page is there a way to have it print close to the bottom margin, turn off the cutting feature, print it, cut manually then move the paper back via the machine or would i have to do it manually and realign the paper and setup after every print?

Upgrade iMac G3 operating system
I am setting up my old iMac G3 for my grandaughter. It has OS X 10.3.5. Hardware: Power PC 750, CPU 500 MHz, Memory 192 MB, Bus Speed 100 MHz, SDRAM Memory DIMM0/J13 64 MB DRAM & DIMM1/J14 128MB. 20GB hard disk, 14.8 available.
I want to upgrade the operating system. What are the possibilities? I have an iMac G5. Started with Panther, now have Tiger, plan to upgrade to the new one when it comes out. Can I use my old Panther software?
What about iLife? It has iPhoto 4.0.3, iMovie 4.0.1 and iTunes 4.6.
The primary use for the iMac G3 will be for digital photograpy.Hello Riverlover:
Your software is licensed to one computer (unless you buy the "family pack").
Also, software delivered with your system is, essentially, hardware-specific. You would have to check to see if OS X 10.4 would run on the G3 (offhand, it looks like it would, but it is more resource-intensive than OS X 10.3).
If I were you, I would clean up the G3 with OS X 10.3 on it. That platform should be quite serviceable and you know it runs. The older iPhoto versions do not have as much functionality, but still represent good software.
Tell her to look forward to your G5 when you buy a new Apple! -

Operating system causes loss of data during writing to file continuously
Within a while loop I read data from serial port (9,5KByte/sec, bluetooth dongle via serial port protocol) and writes them to a file (text-file) continuously. The operating system interrupts the while loop periodically which causes a loss of data. If I read data from serial port without saving them no data get lost.
E.g. on my PC the OS (W2K) wakes up a second hard disk exactly once per hour which freezes the data saving process to the 'saving' hard disk (and therefore also the while loop, data reading) for about 5-6 sec. On a Laptop the OS (XP, one single hard disk) interrupts the data saving process every 10 minutes for about 1 sec. during the first hour and not any longer afterwards.
I have al
so tried to use the 'deny read/write' option of the 'Open File.vi' to prevent other file sweeping applications (backup, anti-virus, Fast Find) to open the file simultaneously which could temporarily deny you write access to the file - no success.
BTW, this concerns also the compiled version of my LV7.1-program.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
TobiUse two loops, one for reading the serial data and a separate one for writng to the file. The first loop reads the serial port and writes the data to a queue. The second one reads the queue and writes to the file. Put a delay in each loop, perhaps zero milliseconds in the serial loop and 10 ms in the file loop (try various values). This causes the LV scheduler to share CPU time between the two loops.
Now the serial loop will acquire the data and store it in the queue which also serves as a buffer. If the file loop gets blocked by the OS, the data just stacks up in the queue.

Can't get HP DesignJet 500 connected
We are trying to get a Mac with Snow Leopard OS connected to our DesignJet 500. The DJ500 is connected via a Linksys printer server to our Window Server 2003. I've tried a bunch of work arounds, but it either won't connect, has on hold authentication error, or says connected but won't print. I would love any and help or suggestions. I'm super frustrated at this point!
Thanks!
WhitneySometimes, the Reset Printing System command will get things going when nothing else will. If you haven't tried this, it' worth a shot.
Open Print & Fax
Right-click in the printers area on the left
Select +Reset Printing System+
You'll have to setup your printers again and give it another try. If you can get printing going, your all-in-one will only print from the USB port location on the AirPort Extreme. Fax, copy, scan, maintenance, etc are not supported, so you'll need to connect directly to your computer for those services.
I checked to see if the printer was on the compatibility list published by the iFelix site and could not find it. But neither could I find it on the incompatibility list, so there's not much to go on here. -
Oversize A2 Paper Size value(string) for HP Designjet 500 Plus 24 (Paper Roll).
Greetings.
I am working at constructor’s bureau. Recently we decided to automate drawing printing from SolidWorks program (it’s a CAD software). I have written a code. SolidWorks API allows to choose for printing such settings as paper tray, scale, color, orientation and paper size. I am having an issue with the last option. Paper size gets set by passing value (string). Here are some of them: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd319099(v=vs.85).aspx. I can get the needed value by “Recording macro” and selecting the size I need in SolidWorks
Such paper sizes as A4, ISO A4, Oversize A4 have different numbers. Same goes for A3, A2 and etc. In addition, the values are not universal. They can alter depending on printer.
We have 5 printers for various paper sizes (from A0 to A4) and I set correct value for 4 of them, but I have a trouble with – “HP Designjet 500 Plus 24”. This printer can print both A1 and A2. I managed to make A1 printing work (I just pass value 621 that means “Overize A1”, without changing paper tray), as for A2 the value must be 620 that is "Oversize A2", but it does not work. Only part of the drawing gets printed and it gets placed somewhere in the middle. I guess it just prints according to printer default settings. Maybe the value is not 620? If it is so, can you tell me the real one?
I can try to change default settings to match the A2 printing. However, the printer itself is a network printer. So changing some settings there might get someone in the office angry. So getting the right values is a perfect solution.
I am slowly getting desperate, because all printers work perfectly, except for one. Which makes the code unusable. I can post the code, but it will not help much, because I only need to set one or two values correctly.
One more thing, we are using roll of paper, so maybe I have to also set the paper tray, even if it is still the same as for A1?

HP DesignJet 500 and OS 10.4.6
A few weeks ago, I upgraded from Mac OS 10.3 to OS 10.4.6 on an iMac G4. Ever since my upgrade, I have not been able to print custom sizes to my HP DesignJet 500+HPGL2. (FWIW, the printer is connectd with a USB cable, and the size I’m trying to print is 42” wide by 120” long.)
I downloaded and installed the latest driver for OS X/DesignJet 500 from the HP site, but still nothing. At best, the printer just spits out the paper and cuts it off without making a single mark on it. At worst, the printer just ignores me.
When I try to run the configuration utility (opening the print queue and clicking on “Utility”), the system prompts me to select a printer. BUT, the only option it gives me is the other printer connected to my Mac (a DeskJet 1220C).
I’ve tried RIP programs (which did nothing) and selecting “Rasterize Print Output” (which spit out a full 120” of paper without a single mark). I’ve tried printing to Preview to avoid wasting paper, and it shows that the paper is completely blank.
I can’t be the only person out there with this problem. Can anybody offer any suggestions? And if I can’t find an answer, does anybody know if it’s possible to downgrade from 10.4.6 back to 10.3?
Thanks,
Ben
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) DesignJet 500 + HPGL2I posted this message last week and figured I'd come back and post what I found over the weekend. I eventually ended up downgrading from 10.4.6 to 10.3.2 again... and losing about 2 weeks of e-mail in the process (even though I double-checked the location of the messages before downgrading). Unfortunately, the downgrade didn't fix the problem.
By happy accident, I changed the size of my test doc from 42-in x 120-in to 18-in x 24-in. (Actually, I got tired of wasting 10 feet of blank paper every time I screwed up and printed with the wrong settings.) Eureka! It printed fine. It seems that even though the DesignJet 500 is supposed to print docs up to 150 inches long, there is an artificial limit of 109 inches on a Macintosh. It turns out that we've only used the printer for 9-foot jobs (108 inches) so far, but I didn't realize that because I'm not the primary user of this machine.
Anyway, I've seen several discussion threads about problems between Tiger and the DesignJet 500/800, so I figured I'd post my findings here. Maybe this will save some other poor schmuck from spending a weekend in the office while his friends are at a pool party. At least I'm off the hook now. :o)
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) -
What is my operating system in regards to my printer installation?
When trying to install the drivers and software for your printer from the HP website, it is required to know both your operating system and your system type.
To determine if you have Windows or Mac, below is the icon you will find that is often referred to as the Start Button.
Windows 8 Windows 7 Windows Vista Windows XP Mac OS X
If you do not see either of these icons, then please review the owner's manual of your computer or find a section dedicated to product information or in the help section of the software/device you are using.
Click here if you do not see your operating system listed under the driver section of your printer's support website.
In earlier Windows versions: Select the Start button icon and right-click on Computer (Win7 or Vista) or My Computer (XP) and left-click on "Properties" at the bottom of the gray pop-window. Properties will display the Windows edition which contains information on which version of Windows you are using, the service pack, and further down you will find the system type which will indicate whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If you do not see a version type, it is likely a 32-bit Windows XP.
*Note: Windows Starter Editions can cause problems and errors and thus limiting you to strictly a USB connection during the installation and continued use of the printer's software.
In Windows 8: Right-click or tap and hold the lower left corner of the screen and then click or tap System in the menu. Find System Type in the System Window, and then note whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Click here to access the HP Support website regarding operating system types for more information.
Mac OS X: For information regarding your OS version click on the Apple () to access the menu and choose "About This Mac" and you will be able to tell which version you are running which is essential for installing the proper printer software.
Common Mac OS X have different names for their versions:
10.5 - Leopard
10.6 - Snow Leopard
10.7 - Lion
10.8 - Mountain Lion
Each version before and after the ones listed above also have additional names. Click here to access the Mac Support website for more information.
Linux print drivers: HP has designed what is noted as HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) software to include the driver, the toolbox, and the driver installer into one package. This software is designed to work for nearly every Linux distribution available. Click here to download the latest HPLIP software for your printer.
Be cautious about third-party websites offering downloads to certain HP software, especially if you are required to pay for it or pay for a tool to diagnose any issues you are having. Most HP download packages include the scanning software such as HP Solution Center or HP Image Zone. Specific software installed is not downloaded separately and therefor, if you cannot find it for free through the HP website, then be careful of what other companies are offering. You are putting your system at risk by downloading any software from an unknown manufacturer such as viruses, malware, or other security factors. Take precautions to protect yourself before you install any software from a third-party site.
If you have any questions regarding any of the information above, feel free to post about it. The HP Consumer Forum is a great place to look for expert advice regarding small to medium-sized printers (Officejet, Photosmart, Deskjet), along with how to install, update, or resolve other installation errors.
If you have questions regarding a large commercial-sized printer, seek additional expert advice at the HP Enterprise Business Community regarding large LaserJets, ScanJets, and DesignJets.

My 13-inch, Mid-2010 Macbook has declined in performance with every operating system upgrade. Maverick functioned, unlike Yosemite, which I currently have every intention of deleting. Honestly, the last time my mac could run multiple applications at once without slowing to a crawl and then crashing was on Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion. Although I'm not quite sure at what point my Mac ran smoothest, but remained compatible with the new applications I've downloaded over the years. I know that it's been too long since I enjoyed using my 2010 Macbook. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy using my 2008 Macbook more, despite it's limited compatibility and obsolete features.
I own a Snow Leopard install disk, or could install any of the operating system on my desktop and reinstall using a USB method, or any other means to successfully wipe a disk clean of Yosemite that many of you might know that works similarly (I didn't have Time Machine on). With that being the case, what is my best option for deleting Yosemite, and recovering an older OS X operating system successfully?
The question I have for all of you with knowledge superior to my mediocre Mac mind, is what operating system can I reinstall on this Mac that will give it the best shot to function acceptably? Is any specific version compatible with all/most new software and such, but before Maverick and Yosemite raised my active memory usage through the run, along with constant lagging, and then a kernel panic. Through extensive googling, I've become more confused and frustrated. I could not get a concrete answer due to the questions phrasing, but hopefully someone can assist me here ASAP, please. How can I run Google Chrome and have a Celtx document open again without unavoidable crashing? I won't be greedy and dare ask for an additional, minimally energy draining application run in the background. Again, my 2008 runs beautifully, but is limited in compatibility. My newer 2010 Mac runs like it's struggling for memory (I've used 30 gb out of the 200, using my out-dated Macbook for most of my Mac tasks.
My minor question.... For deleting Yosemite, what method is the most effective and easy considering the options? My major question..... Will reinstalling an operating system on a fresh disk, is any operating system valuable enough to consider installing and avoiding re-updating to Maverick? Or is Maverick my best shot? And a Mac that is significantly newer and more compatible with current hardware and software, and has approx 100 gb less on it's drive than my 2008 Mac, yet the Yosemite Mac can't handle of a fraction of the 2008 Snow Leopard activity. This is my 5th physical Macbook in less than a decade, btw. Along with pads and phones. I refuse to give Apple more money to solve this, so that is not the answer I'm looking for. Thank you.FIRSTLY, THANK YOU! I appreciate any help you can lend me here. Below is a Etrecheck from today.
Essentially, Google Chrome and ANY other program open will eventually freeze up. I deleted Chrome. Re-downloaded. Completely deleted. Used Safari. Absolutely NO BETTER.
If I'm writing a really long document in a word processor and using a thesaurus or dictionary application in the background.... That will eventually freeze my mac.
So ANY assistance here would be terrific because since Yosemite it's been impossible to tolerate.
Problem description:
If 2 “major” programs are running at the same time, my Macbook is almost unusable due to lag, crashes, and freezes.

Adding a Linux Operating System To the HP computeers with Windows 8.1
In Feb this year, I purchased an HP Envy 700-216 computer which came with Windows 8.1 installed. As everyone is now finally realizing, even Microsoft, Windows 8 and 8.1 sucks and is shortly going to be replaced and made obsolete!! I knew this when I purchased the computer, but no one could tell me how to add a Linux operating system to it, including the technicians at Ofice depot and the ones at HP support. We could get the HDD partitioned, but the BIOS always reset when the computer was rebooted. .
I finally figured it out on my own which required quite a bit of research. This information ought to be available via HP support (It was not!!!).
Briefly, I had to go into the BIOS and then download my Linux distro of choice (Linux Mint Debian Edition) which provides a very easy to operate partitioning system. I allowed only 500 Gigs of space for the Windows OS leaving the rest of the 2 TiB drive for my Linux Distro. . Then I downloaded and installed reFind, a freebie which allows the easy selection and setting of the preferred operating system.
If anyone else would like to know how to do this, please contact me and I'll try to walk you through it.
H.R. ParkerNever mind, I think I hacked up my own solution to the question:
USE [VirtualManagerDB]
GO
INSERT INTO [dbo].[tbl_IL_OS]

,'Debian GNU/Linux 6 (64-bit)' /* Longer description of Linux Distro */
,'amd64' /* Use x86 for i386, amd64 for x86_64 */
,'28' /* This remains constant */
,'otherLinux64Guest' /* This is meant for VMware, go lookup the VMX spec files for this value */
,'1') /* Leave this at one, that's what the other OSes looked like */
GO
