How can i install Linux (Ubuntu or Kubuntu) and Windows at the same HDD?

Hi everyone
I have Toshiba L20-148 and I have the Toshiba Product Recovery DVD and I have the Ubuntu DVD
I'm only able to install Linux or the Windows XP Pro that i have with the recovery DVD
and the only way i know to install them both together is by installing linux then windows... but whenever i try to install windows usin' the data recovery it just formats the whole HDD and install windows only...
any help?

Hi
The boot manger can be set manually in the Windows system properties.
Please go to the control panel and select system
Then select the Advanced tab
In the advanced tab please select the option Settings in the Startup and recovery area.
A new window should open and you should use edit button in the system startup area.
You should see something like that:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
To add a further booting option you should change it for example to:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\Linux="linux kubuntu" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

  • My ipad imessages are coming up on my husband's iphone. Is that because we share an apple id account. How can we have separate apple id's and still share the same music library.

    my ipad imessages are coming up on my husband's iphone. Is that because we share an apple id account. How can we have separate apple id's and still share the same music library.

    The biggest problem I have is with cross texting. My friends send my a imessage on ipad to ipad and it comes up as message on my husband's phone as well as my ipad?
    My friends definitely do not want my husband seeing their texts. (and I dont really need him to see my responses either)
    Also, apple id is based on my email account, how do I create a new apple id without setting up a new email account?

  • How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen?

    How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen?  I can get a couple of words on the screen with a graphic but not 10 lines.  I need 10 lines on the page with the image. 

    Priscilla,
    I routinely combine 10 lines of 36 pt bible or lecture text to a suitable background using Boris Title 3D.
    Many times the text is too long to fit the screen using Boris, so I devide it into 2 or more parts with no transition between sections.
    In my case, the text is on the screen as the speaker quotes them.

  • Can I install photoshop on my laptop and desktop from the same Creative Cloud account?

    I thought I read that you can run them one at a time, I installed on lap top first and registered just fine then installed on desktop and on start up of photoshop CC it is telling me to register photoshop?  can I do this?

    You can have a maximum of two installs. Can be PC/PC, Mac/PC or Mac/Mac; any combo.
    Should be no need to register as long as you've signed in with your Adobe ID? (Best way to do all this is via the Creative Cloud Desktop app.)

  • How can I setup my MacBook Pro, iMac and MacBook Air the same way without doing each separately? Same home page in Safari, same search preferences, etc

    Everytime I buy a new device or whipe out a hard drive and do a fresh install, I have to reset everything. All my preferances, Safari Homepage, passwords, etc.
    I know about time machine. The problem is that sometimes, I am trying to avoid a problem that is in the Time Machine's backup.
    I spend a lot of time setting my preferences for all the software I use. It is a real pain to modify every toolbar, etc

    One thing you can try next time is Setup Migration. So, after downloading and reinstalling OS X and after the restart into Setup use Setup Migration to migrate your user account(s), settings, apps and data from a Time Machine back up.

    how can i install itunes 11.0.1 on windows xp professional x64 edition

    I have eventually managed to resolve my issue by:
    1) Installing "Segoe UI" fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.
    2) Changing my default colour profile to "sRGB Color Space Profile".
    Navigate to My Computer > Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Color Management.
    Click Add button and select sRGB Color Space Profile.icm from the Add Profile Association pop-up window.
    Select sRGB Color Space Profile.
    Click on the Set as Default button.

    my mac mini build is 11G56 and mac osx is 10.7.5 how can i install latest mac 10.8 and above

    Simply purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store and it will begin installation after the download is complete. Note that it's a large download, about 4.5GB, so you should have a good Internet connection..
    However... if I were you, I would just wait another month or so until Apple releases Mavericks - the 'latest' announced version of OS X -> http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/.
    No need to pay for two upgrades in a months (or so) time...

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

    How can I share purchased apps between 2 diff users on the same mac?

    A purchased app is associated with an Apple ID. A user with a different Apple ID cannot use the app unless they also use the same Apple ID.
    I cannot use my wife's apps nor she mine because each were purchased with different Apple IDs.

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.
