I'm interesting in install Linux in Satellite 300D-22K

Are there any distribution linux recomended for Satellite 300D-22K?
I have a two partition in C: there is the Windows OS. and the E: only have HDDRecovery. Is it possible install linux in the unit E: and HDDRevery safe into pen usb?
Thanks.

Just one important info for you: recovery image is saved in this HDDRecovery folder. If you remove it from there or change partition you will not be able to use this image again.
If you want to do this create recovery DVD using "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". When you have this recovery installations DVD you can do what you want. Later you can use this DVD to install Vista again.
You can try to install Linux but please note this notebook model is not Linux supported.

  • I can't install Fedora core Linux on Satellite U400

    Dear Friends,
    I have brought one Toshiba Satellite U400 laptop.
    As you know nowadays whole the laptops which is coming by Windows Vista.
    So as for my project I tried to install Windows XP as well as Linux on my laptop but unfortunately I couldn't install at the beginning.
    Later on I could install Windows Xp successfully and everything is working fine....though I have to install Linux Os so when I tried; the hdd not recognizing to continue the installation.
    So please let me know once if you could done the Linux installation on your laptops.... perhaps the same steps would be enough for continue the Linux installation.
    But I am not sure. In the meantime if you can help me that would be better...
    thanks in advance

  • [solved] How to install Linux on the Fujitsu Scaleo Home Server 2205

    Hello!
    I am currently thinking about buying a Fujitsu Scaleo Home Server 2205.
    The according datasheet can be found here.
    The default installation includes Windows Home Server, which is why I have to find a way to install Linux on it (still thinking about which distribution).
    But since it doesn't offer regular installation interfaces, I don't know how to do it without having to buy extra equipment.
    I thought about just swapping one hard disk, and installing using a regular PC, but figured that this would cause problems with RAID afterwards.
    What do you suggest?
    Thanks!

    I remember having a 300W PSU in my Celeron Mendocino-based PC but I never bothered to measure the actual power consumption at the wall socket. Did you measure that 50W at the socket?
    For comparison, TS-109 idles at 14W while Linksys NSLU2 at just 8W.
    Of course, 266MHz ARM/32MB RAM in NSLU2 will not be enough for most applications. I am personally really excited about Marvell's Kirkwood platform, Sheevaplug drains only 4W idle / 7W full load (!) and actually sports a 1.2GHz processor / 512MB RAM. If only they made a proper NAS solution using this platform... edit: they did, there's TS-119 but QNAP is traditionally overpriced.

  • Installing Linux Apps in Solaris Container

    Is there a how-to or similar documentation showing how to install and run a Linux app under Solaris 10 x86?
    I am particularly interested in running Linux WordPerfect 8/8.1.
    I have successfully installed WP8.1/Linux with Free BSD so I have some experience in this sort of grafting.

    Hi
    You have a few options, none of them are great.
    1. Wait for "brandz" (basically, other OS personalities in zones). No idea when this will be available, but I wouldn't count too much on it being in 2006.
    2. lxrun. This is part of the companion CD - I'm not aware of any more up-to-date versions (though I've not looked in places like Blastwave). This will require one of 2 suboptions
    a) that you install Linux on your UFS filesystem or
    b) you install Linux on another partition on your disk/another disk and use an ext2fs driver* to mount the Linux parttion.
    The SFW lxrun dates from the time of RedHat 6 or 7.

  • Installing Linux on PC

    Hi, I'm an OCP and interested in studying for the OCM and I read that the practical is conducted in a Linux environment. I've never worked with linux before but have solaris experience. I'm interested in setting up an environment at my home running Oracle 10g on top of linux but I'm not sure how to go about this. I currently only have a desktop running windows XP. The question I have "Is it possible to run Linux and Windows XP on the same machine so that I can install the Linux version of Oracle on My PC but still keep Windows XP and all of its associated applications. Or would a better approach be to purchase another server of some sort and install linux? My goal is to simulate the same environment as the OCM with minimal cost.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi.
    You can install CentOS (www.centos.com), which is clone of RHEL, for free. Here are some pictorial installation guides I produced:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/RHEL3Installation.php
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/RHEL4Installation.php
    The installation process is almost identical for RHEL and CentOS.
    Once you've got the OS installation done, you can install Oracle 10g as follows:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnRedHatAS3.php
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnRedHatAS4.php
    Obviously, reading the manuals is a good idea, but hopefully these things will help you get moving a little faster.
    Good luck.
    Cheers

  • Boot from CDD to install Linux

    I found a version of Linux that I'd like to try / install but my Satellite Pro 425CDS (Win98) only boots from HDD or FDD.  I did update the BIOS to the latest version, 5.40 I think.  Didn't help.  So, How do I get the 425 to boot from the CDD?  I do have the FDD but the Linux version (WattOS) won't fit on a floppy.  What are my other options for getting Linux to run on this box?
    Also, looking at other posts I guess I'll need a fan utility to keep the fan running too.  Others seem to be having overheat issues with Linux.
    Thanks,
    Will

    The short answer is: you can't.
    That era of machines wouldn't boot from the CD, installing Windows required a boot floppy that included drivers to support the CD.
    From a brief search, there are some Linux distributions that include boot floppies as an option, but WattOS doesn't appear to be one of those. :-(
    On the other hand, your machine is old enough that these may work for the fan issues: http://www.buzzard.me.uk/toshiba/index.html

  • Linux on Satellite E55

    Has anyone here installed Linux on their Satellite E55 laptop?  My wife just bought me one to replace my extremely old MacBook Pro.
    I like Windows 8 so far, but I'm used to dual booting into Linux.  If anyone has done this, please let me know if there's anything special I should prepare for when I go about partitioning and installing the second OS.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    I don't know if I'm missing something...but I haven't been able to get this thing to boot from a USB stick except when there was nothing on the SSD and I installed Windows 8 from scratch...
    I've been wanting to install Ubuntu in a dual boot configuration, I've done it a million times and in UEFI on my handbuilt computer with no problem, tried multiple USB sticks, turned secure boot on and off, changed boot order, used multiple usb stick creators...
    Could you tell me how you were able to get it installed? I'd appreciate it a lot!

    Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

  • Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

    I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks.  The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed.  I wish
    to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8.  Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation? 
    If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
    This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

    Technically, no.  The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system.  It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
    You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM.  A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
    Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
    Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
    A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
    for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
    You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
    The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.

  • Wiping WinXP and installing Linux

    Hello,
    I just joined today. I have a question about how I should go about updating certain things in my R51.
    I greatly favor Linux over Windows-- I use the Linux distro MEPIS 8.5 in one desktop tower, and the Linux distro sidux in another desktop tower. I just bought an R51 (type 2895-AU3) Thinkpad a few days ago- this is my first laptop. While I wasn't given any OS disc(s), it came loaded with WinXP. Shortly after getting home with the R51, I looked up what updates are available for it from Lenovo. For WinXP, there are a number of them but when I changed the OS option to Linux, only 3 turned up, as I recall, for the HDD and for the CD-RW/DVD. I'm wondering if, while I still have WinXP installed, I should update the BIOS and various other things for WinXP and then wipe the WindowsXP and install MEPIS.
    When I ran my MEPIS live CD in the R51 (and a Linux live CD doesn't install Linux, yet), I noticed that the boot info said the BIOS was outdated (and maybe it said it needs updating?) The BIOS is currently version 1.21 (1VET63WW) and is dated 21 Feb. 2005.
    Are there so many Lenovo-supplied updates for WinXP because that OS needs them in order for that OS to be optimized for use today, while so few updates for Linux because things are basically OK for Linux (except for the three I found in my seach)?
    So I'm asking:  Should I first do the Lenovo updates (BIOS, etc.) for WinXP, then wipe the WinXP and install MEPIS, doing later the Linux updates from Lenovo?
    [A short while ago I read about some bad update bug offered in a Lenovo BIOS update for some unspecified ThinkPad. I of course want to avoid anything that makes my laptop unuseable.]
    Thanks

    If I'm not too late, Just install Ubuntu. Not sure if it's the only one or not, But it can be installed inside windows like an program. When it boots you will have the option to choose windows or ubuntu. Best way to install it is to load the iso with any image loaders (poweriso, magiciso, deamontools) It will install faster than a burned CD. Also disconnect from the internet before install. Or it will install from the internet which will be over 30mins long. Ubuntu is very easy to use.

  • Can I install Linux on an external drive?

    I'm kinda curious about something. If I boot up off an external firewire drive at boot time and I have previously partitioned it into 2 partitions (techtool or iPartition) is it possible to install a Intel Linux distro on the 2nd partitition?
    When I go to boot from that external drive will the Linux installed boot loader allow me to select OSX or Linux to actually boot from?
    Even better can I just install Linux on this external drive in the only partition?
    I'm only looking to experiment with a Linux distro and I don't want to use Parallels anymore so I'm wondering if I can use an external drive to do so.
    TIA,

  • Install Linux on a Imac 24 to an external drive

    Hello everybody
    I have an Imac 24 and I am trying to install linux and windows on an external USB hard drive.
    Is that possible?
    So far that I tried I think I messed it up with the boot loader where to install it.
    Is anybody else facing the same problem?
    I would appreciate your advice.
    Thanks in advance

    Just FYI, as with any type of file or object, normally it should only take a single click to select it in any view (desktop, or Finder window list, icon, or column view).

    The external drive is a 1TB drive with 879.12GB left available. Would back up to cd or dvd be reasonable? Or would that require a rediculous number of discs?
    It would require a ridiculous amount of discs. 1TB minus around 880GB of free space means it is currently using maybe 200GB or more. Backing up would take almost 300CDs or 43 DVDs. But the real cost would not be the discs, it would be the time to burn and then restore all those discs. And the discs would need to be burned cross-platform so that the Mac can read back the files. Also, since the drive is in NTFS format, it would be easiest to back it up using a Windows PC.
    But here is another way to solve your problem. Instead of backing up and reformatting, you could download some add-on software to make your Mac read and write NTFS. (Apple does not include it due to licensing & fees & such, since NTFS is Microsoft proprietary.) If you install NTFS read/write software for the Mac, you can simply use the drive as is and not go through something complicated and time-consuming.
    I am not well versed in using NTFS, but my understanding is that you can download software like Paragon NTFS (paid) to get this done. I have heard that there are free options but again, I don't know them very well. Until someone comes by with more info that I don't know, you can do a web search on "NTFS Mac" to research more about your options. You will find links to software and how-to articles.

  • Installing linux and unix on my macbook pro without using vmware

    I was browsing through the forum and bumped into a topic where the best advice for installing linux application is the following:
    http://macdevcenter.com/lpt/a/7073
    However, I have not tested this out therefore I am pretty reluctant to put this on my laptop which is currently running MAC OS X 10.5.8. (4gb ram). If anyone have done this please let me know.
    1) My question: Is this a reliable method to run linux applications on MAC OS natively using the x11 from Apple?
    Note: I have vmware and I personally don't prefer booting a separate OS on my computer just to use one or two apps. However if that is the only solution I already have ubuntu running on my vmware. Also I wanted to completely wipe off my vmware and the ISO images (ubuntu and win xp) to free up the space in my hard drive. If I have to use ubuntu which may be a "safer solution" than run linux applications on my hard drive then I will stick to the vmware method.
    If someone could give me some insight in this topic then I would greatly appreciated their help.
    p.s. I want to install xilinx web-pack and other useful softwares that are only available in linux, ubuntu and win xp/vista/w7. My goal is to completely transform my laptop from dual booting ubuntu and win xp to just run mac snow leopard (in the near future).
    Thanks in advance,

    Basically I want to run linux and unix applications without running vmware on my mac os x. I heard there is a way to use x11 and FinkCommander (http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/) application. However, I am unable to figure out how to install programs such as xilinx ise (http://www.xilinx.com/ise/logicdesignprod/foundation.htm) on my MacBook Pro using FinkCommander. In addition, xilinx ise runs on linux and windows however not mac.
    In simple words I want to solely use Leapord (not snow leapord) to run applications such xilinx ise (which is only available on windows platform or linux).
    I recently shifted from windows xp platform to mac and I rarely use vmware after making the shift. Therefore, I am trying to find a solution where I don't require vmware at all, my plan is to remove vmware from my hard drive.
    I just restated what I stated in the previous post in a simpler manner, sorry for any miscommunication on the earlier post. I am looking for a step by guide to install linux applications on my mac. I am at a process of learn linux at the moment so I am kind of slow when it comes to linux and mac. Especially when it comes to installing using command line not GUI.
    I just want to know if there is a solution out there for running linux based applications to run on my mac.

  • Installing Linux as triple-boot?

    I don't know if this is the right forum for this question, but it looks like the best fit.
    I have a Mac Pro that runs Mac OS X 10.6.7 and Windows 7 64-bit as a dual-boot system using Boot Camp.  This is set up with 2 partitions of a single 1TB hard drive (each OS gets 500GB).  Because I am taking a Linux class soon, I have to install Linux.  What I want to do is add a second physical hard drive and install Linux on that one, turning my dual-boot configuration into a Mac/Windows/Linux triple-boot configuration.  Is this possible?  If so, how do I do it?
    On a side note, would it be possible to partition hard drive #2 the way I did hard drive #1 (drive #2 is also a 1TB drive) and use the second half for Time Machine?  That way, I would have 500GB each for Mac, Windows, Linux, and Time Machine.

  • HT5639 Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp wasn't designed to install Linux. Apart from that, the Boot Camp version included in OS X Mountain Lion will ask you to insert a Windows 7 or Windows 8 DVD in order to run Boot Camp, as far as I know.
    Apple doesn't support Linux on Macs, but it works properly on Macs. There are a lot of how-to's in the Internet about the steps to install Linux and the different possibilities you have. Also, what distribution do you want to install on the computer? You should also consider the option to install Linux on a virtual machine
