Installation advice

Hi,
I have a laptop with Windows XP on which I have dual booted Ubuntu. I have not booted into XP for months now and was wanting to try out Arch in the space that Windows has been using up.
My current setup for partitions is : sda1 ( 30 GB) is Win XP. sda2 is the extended partition for Ubuntu and sda5 is the Ubuntu partition with a swap partition as well.
I have reformatted my XP partition ( sda1) to an ext3 format. Can I install Arch onto the reformatted partition straightaway or do I need to make any other changes?
Thanks

HI,
Just tried out all of that. Arch OS is present in the boot menu. However, trying to boot produces the message " Error 15: File not found". Apart from adding on Arch OS details after Ubuntus on the grub menu, I have not done anything else. What am I doing wrong?
This is what I have added on the Grub menu file.

  • CR52-M Installation Advice wanted

    I bought a brand-new internal CR52-M CD-R/RW unit from Ebay, but after I replaced my old CD-Rom driver with it, and restarted my computer, my system won't either recognise the new unit, or give me the message that "Windows has detected new hardware, etc" so I can install a new driver for it.
    Although it will eject / insert a CD, it won't read nor run it.
    {1} How do I get my system to recognise the CR52-M so I can install the appropriate driver for it?
    {2} I got no installation disc or any other manual, etc, with the CR52-M, so where can I download the appropriate driver software so I can use the thing?
    {3} What burner utility would be best for use with the unit?
    {4} and will my existing system actually work the damn thing ?
    My existing system is a "Viglen" genie 2, 3.3gb with lotsa free memory,  256Mb Ram,  400Mhz, P.II.  running Windows 98se.
    Any advice or help would be really appreciated, Thanks,

    is the cdrw on the same ide cable as hard drive if it is set jumper on rear of cd unit to slave, if its using its own ide cable eg not connected on the same cable as hard drive then it should be set to master,
    nero 6 will work and can be found on ebay for £7 - £8
    or easy cd creator 6 also found on ebay for about £8 or less
    cd drivers are for getting the cd to work in dos and are no use in windows.

  • IBook Blueberry Installation advice

    I need some advice on an iBook 20Gb HDD 256Mb system running OS9. I am wondering which version of OSX can I run without any problems and if I can install an Airport card in it for wireless networking. If I can then how is the card installed.
    Many thanks

    Hi maverick08,
    After you have taken into consideration the previously posted advice, if you still intend to upgrade, here is some additional info.
    I'm including the Tiger information, just for the sake of completeness. Though, Kappy posted, it is not supported for your Mac model.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Jaguar and Panther, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
    If you know what to look for, Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
    The discs should look like the images in the above links.
    Additional info in these links.
    Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
    What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
    Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
    Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
    or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
    If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that. And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    Jaguar System Requirements
    -Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
    -128MB of physical RAM
    -Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
    -QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
    -DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
    Panther System Requirements
    Additional Panther System Requirements
    Tiger System Requirements
    Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
    Download the Media Exchange Program Order From Here.
    Orders must be mailed by March 19, 2007.

  • Custom Installation Advice

    Greetings-
    This question is directed at you monitor gurus and masters of custom installations, creative multimedia installation guys, and anyone with a darn good idea!
    Here is the setup: I have a Sharp Aquos 32" LCD TV that I am using as the monitor for my media center. For now I am feeding the HD input from my current video rig that is rack-mounted on the other side of the room. However, I recently purchased a wireless refurb'd Mini for use as a, well, computer. It drives the LCD display via DVI, and only needs a slight Horizontal positioning tweak via the monitor controls.
    The monitor is wall-mounted, and initially I thought that I might be able to mount the Mini out of sight and on the wall behind the display. While it turns out that this is technically possible, it would not allow for any adjustment at all in the viewing angle of the display, and changing the horizontal mounting height on the wall is not an option (well, it actually is, but it took some work to do it initially and I am trying to "work smart" here.
    However, after receiving my Mini and having had time to grow accustomed to the look of it, I have decided that I will mount the computer on a small glass or other shelf just under the display but on the wall and in full view. It is a work of art, after all, and looks spiffy to boot.
    So now to my dilemma: anybody done this? I need a suggestion on an attractive wall mounted support, mini-sized and weight support capable. I am going to mount the power brick out of view so supporting that weight is not important. I do have the ability to hit one stud within the wall with whatever attachment hardware need be, but it is 16 inches on center to the next stud and that would be wider that the mini. Ideally I mount to one stud and do not have to use any mounts within the wallboard to either side of the stud.
    So ideally, in my mind's eye, I need a sturdy, centrally supported attractive shelf on which to support my Mini.
    What have you creative people got for me?
    Thanks in advance-
    peace

    C2R was the name given to the new packaging method, introduced in the  Office2010 timeframe.
    C2R uses Application Virtualisation (App-V) and some other components, to "install" and virtualise the file system and registry components of Office. With Office2010 in this format, Office365 was released.
    C2R / App-V, has a number of advantages, especially related to streaming and on-demand scenarios, but it requires periodic internet access, and a decent internet connection.
    Later, Office2013 was released in a similar, but "improved" fashion - also known as Office365.
    One of the significant differences with Office365, is the subscription-based licensing model, and the subscription management components (which require you to login to a Microsoft account to validate and re-validate) are embedded.
    Retail editions of Office2013 (Home & Business, Home & Student, Professional) are also released in C2R format.
    (Some Retail, non-subscription editions of Office2010 could be obtained in traditional MSI format.)
    Currently, non-subscription editions of Office2013, in MSI format, are only available to Volume Licensing customers.
    These are specific editions (e.g. Office2013 Standard, and Office 2013 ProfessionalPlus/ProPlus), and are not available in Retail editions.
    So, non-C2R is available, to Volume License customers. Which is fine if you are one, and not so great if you aren't one.

  • Portal Installation advice

    Hi experts,
    We have a Business Intelligence (BW/BI) instance running, with also J2EE part installed.
    Now we would like to use the Web BEx , thus we first need to install the Enterprise Portal.
    My question is, what should be the preferable approach to install the EP on a BW ABAP+java running environment? Should I use sapinst run from the DVD, or start from the downloading the software from SAP, or some other approach? Which one should be safer/ quicker?
    Thanks in advance
    Gianni

    Hi.
    I recommend to read Master Guide and Technical Infrastructure Guide for planning your installation. You can download both of them from [SAP Service Marketplace|https://service.sap.com/installnw70].
    Should I use sapinst run from the DVD, or start from the downloading the software from SAP, or some other approach? Which one should be safer/ quicker?
    It depends on several factors:
    1. an available SR on installation DVD and the level of patches needed to be applied on your system landscape.
    2. an availability and stability of the broadband connection to SAP Service Marketplace.
    In any case, it's your choice.
    Best regards,

  • Bootcamp installation advice?

    I have ordered a Mac Pro and intend to create a dual boot Windows XP / MAC OSX 10.5.2 when it arrives next week.
    I plan to take the two existing SATA drives out of my G5 and replace the factory installed SATA in the Mac Pro, meaning that I won't have to go through the hassle of reinstalling all of my software and work.
    However, I wanted to ask if using Bootcamp will mean that I have to format one of my existing drives so that it can create a partition?
    Any other general advice would be appreciated - I have been through these forums and looked at the Mac help files, but it seems to be pot luck as to whether it works without a hiccup or not!
    TIA

    Your new Mac Pro may have a later build of OS X. The only issues are in using Migration Assistant. But that is another topic. One thing, you eventually need to format your drives to GUID from what they are now.
    Keep the OEM for your boot drive. Try booting from your G5 system. Pick up a new drive to merge and migrate to.
    You can install Windows on its own drive with BootCamp Assistant. Personally, I think you'll be better off with 64-bit Vista Ultimate -

  • Need Installation Advice

    I want to install Leopard Server onto a Mac Pro currently running Leopard with many accounts, groups, and shared folders with various permission settings...but I'm afraid to.
    Will an installation delete all of the accounts, groups, and permissions that I've already created?
    If so, is there a way to export this information and import it when the new system is installed?

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys. From everything I've read, however, you can only do a clean "erase and install" or upgrade from a previous version of "server" software.
    I've migrated all of the accounts to another machine, and everything is backed up, but I've decided to leave my "startup" disk alone and install the server software on a different drive. If I'm unsuccessful in migrating the accounts back, or recreating all of the accounts and permissions, I can always boot from my original startup disk until I figure out a better way.

  • Installation advice, Thinkpad 520, Ubuntu 11.10

    I'm getting a Thinkpad with Intel+NVidia graphics.
    Can anyone offer advice as to what to do during the initial install? Should I disable or enable the NVidea/Intel/Optimus graphics? I belive there is a BIOS option.
    I have read about the Ironhide (former Bumblebee) project. Is it worth trying? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Unless you want to venture down the bumblebee path, your best bet may be to simply set the Graphics Device to Discrete Graphics in the BIOS->Config->Display setting. Ubuntu 11.10 should install and run reasonably OK using a 32-bit kernel (see a recent thread about the W520 and 64-bit kernels). If you don't mind installing NVIDIA's drivers, you could try them. You'll likely get a bit better performance out of them, but then you have to deal with re-installing those drivers every time the kernel is updated. This Debian wiki page and some of it's child links have some good discussion on this topic would be a good place to read up: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers You might run into this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/699802 if you have a separate /boot partition, but it should be easily worked around for now.

  • Re-installation advice, please

    Hi all.
    After installing CS4, shortly after its introduction, everything went well, sort of. The GPU feature wouldn't work with my older graphics card, I think. At least it wasn't one of the tested/supported cards.
    Then, my D drive (storage and scratch), started not being seen, intermittently. After alternating the cables and moving the drive, to test it, with help, we determined the mobo might be the culprit. AARRGGHH!!
    Anyway, I decided to do an overhaul, and upgrade my pc.
    With the first re-install of Windows, using a quick format, Windows fought us, and Photoshop took 4, count'em FOUR tries to install.
    After a week processing pictures, and fighting the occasional crash, which had never happened to me before(!!!!!!), and the issues mentioned by others regarding GPU, etc., I decided to do it all again.
    Did a full format of C, re-installed Windows, smooth as a baby's.....well, you know.
    All running smoothly, so far.... fingers crossed, toes crossed, etc, etc.:)
    Before the re-build, I cloned the C drive, as everyone says to do, after de-activating both CS3 & CS4. (BTW, I only installed CS4 on the 'new machine'. Before the 2nd go round and full format, I cloned the C again, to a different folder, both times on the D drive.
    Now I'm ready to re-install PS. My questions:
    Should I do anything with the cloned folder(s) on the D drive beforehand?
    Should I do only CS3 and wait for anticipated patches for CS4? (CS3 always ran smoothly, never crashed, etc.)Or go ahead and install both?
    Are there any elements of CS4 I should NOT choose to install?
    If a clean install of CS4 occurs, with no hiccups, that is, am I likely to have fewer issues than the first time?
    Are there any other issues I should be aware of, or things I should do?
    As you probably can tell, I'm soooo not a computer person.
    BTW, my new system has EVGA 750i SLI mobo, 9800 GTX+ graphics card, Intel core2 quad Q6600 processor, 4 GB OCZ Reaper 1066 memory, 600 w power supply, WinXP pro, 32 bit.
    I appreciate all the help you guys and gals can offer!!
    Barry

    I would forget the clones unless you need data on them. don't try to copy applications from them! you have a smooth running machine. don't mess with that.
    I would run windows update a few times until you have nothing left to update. including optionals, if you have any.
    if you want to install cs3 and cs4, install cs3 first. get everything running. apply all updates. run the adobe updater a couple of times to make sure they all install correctly and nothing is left.
    once that all works move on to 4. i wouldn't leave anything off the installation. let it do it's thing.
    >1066 memory
    might consider bumping that to at least 2 gig...

  • Installation advice for xMII V12.0

    Hi all,
    xMII is my first foray into the SAP experience.  We are planning a POC using xMII to build a simple MES system with communication to existing SAP ECC/ERP, various PLCs and Proficy iHistorian and printing to Zebra label printers.  We have a sandbox xMII V11.5 installed and working with ECC via RFCs/JCO.
    It makes sense to use xMII V12 for the POC as we will not be going live for a year and the work we are doing now is discovery work.  We are planning a new installation as the requirement for NetWeaver changes requirements quite dramatically.
    I have been looking through the mountain of documents on Wikis, document sites, and Blogs and have found Master guides, Installation Guides, Upgrade Guides, Release Notes, Config Guides, SAP Notes...  Then there is JCO, SAP JRA, UDSs of various types, Netweaver (UME, WebAS, CCMS, ...), JRE, database, Windows...  I am attempting to make a list of what needs to be installed and in what order for the POC. I have not found a definitive source of information on the installation of an xMII server.  -Does one exist?-
    Here is my current list of what to install on the xMII server, in the order they must be installed.  I could use some feedback!
    The server:  Dell Optiplex GX620  -  1G RAM - 2.8Ghz - 40Gb HD -Is this adequate?  More RAM? More Disk?-
    Windows Server 2003
    MS SQL Server 2005
    Sun JRE 1.4.2_16  (When will this be upgraded to 1.6, or even 1.5!)
      Is JAVA_HOME required?  Does it matter which JRE is in the Windows PATH environment variable?
    SAPCAR 7.0
    NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SR2  Usage Selection - Application Server Java  - and configure JRA
    xMII V12.0 SR3 - and configure users

    What did I miss?  Is everything in the correct order?
    Thanks all,
    --Amy Smith
    P.S.  I have been impressed by the quality of the posts on this forum.  I look forward to joining the community!

    Amy,
    This is probably not what you want to hear but the guide will most likely not be updated since the JDBC driver and it's configuration is specific to the vendor and not SAP.  This is the reason for all of the various configuration fields you see in the xMII Data Server configuration screen.  It allows the xMII system to support a connection via any JDBC driver.  The MS site where you downloaded the 2005 driver from has the Server URL defined there and there are plenty of supplementary sites on configuring the URL properly for your system.  If you still think it should be added then please create a CSN/CSS message requesting the change.
    To cover some previous comments on the NW installation, plan for approx 2-4 days in installing and configuring Solution Manager; if you don't already have it in your corporate landscape.  The actual installation took me 20hrs on a 2GB RAM Dual-DualCore 2 GHz CPU machine and took approx 45 GBs of space (This is now required by SAP and last I checked was free).  You'll need this because it will help you maintain/manage your various systems corporate wide.  Also it is needed to generate "Solution Manager Keys" which are required for NW installations and to download NW support package updates from Service Marketplace.
    Once that's done it's about 3 hours for each successive NW AS Java installation and about 5 minutes for the xMII v12 deployment and finished off at around 5GBs of space. 
    This is all in the guide I am putting together along with a "High-Availability" section which is adding some extra time to it's release but I can guarantee it's worth the wait!
    It's nice to see that you've done your homework on this, hope this helps to explain and clarify...

  • Day 2 installation advice for Mega 180 delux

    Now that i got past the DMI Pool Problem, and have XP installed.  I have 2 problems with the system.
    1:  i can't get connected to my lan via ethernet.  lights are on at both ends of the cable and nobody appears to be home.  have run the wizzard a number of times.   lan connection is not bridged
    1a:  after fighting the ethernet connection  for a few hours, moved the pc to my office, checked ethernet with a different cable etc, no luck.  since it was  now sitting next to my wireless hub i figured what the heck maybe this will work.
    after down loading and installing Ralink driver update (thanks forum) and changing my netgear hub to channel 3 (thanks forum) i am connected via wireless.  eventually computer is destined about as far from my home office as i can place it (kids) so need to get ethernet working.  sound familiar, any suggestions?
    2:  In control panel the audio device is showing yellow question marks, doesn't look like drivers have installed, do i need to install the MSI Media Center to get sound out?  looks like Media center has been the source of lots of grief.
    3:  Now that i am online, should i upgrade the bios, system came with 3.3.  reading the postings i am not sure i want to introduce any more variables into the equation, but if it will help with 1 or 2...
    4:  From reading the forums it looks like xp sp2 is working well for most people, comments?  i am running sp2 on 2 other machines and it is very stable.  wireless management is also much improved.
    thx again.

    Sony DRU-540 DCD+-RW/+-RCD Drive
    Corsair 512Mb (2 DDR-Dims)
    XP Home unpatched, Bios 3.3

    I would reiterate both Stu and Normunds advice.
    1. Only update BIOS if you have to
    2. Get the latest Nforce2 drivers from Nvidia. That should make a number of things work better. Hopefully sound and ethernet. If you're using onboard video also get the latest Nvidia display drivers from Nvidia.
    3. I installed MCE 2005 which is XP SP2 + a front end. It is very stable. I have very few OS related problems. But I would turn off automatic update for XP. They are constantly  wanting to update stuff that I don't even use.
    4.  For your ethernet problem are you getting an address assigned from DHCP ?  Have you tried the repair connection thing from MS or wntipcfg.exe  release/renew ? Does the machine address show up as connected from the router ?
    If none of this stuff is working I would suggest checking for a router software upgrade. This happened to me about 6 months ago. XP was using some newer protocols that was confusing my router... and nothing worked.

  • Windows Installation advice

    i am installing windows 7 on my new mac pro and need to know whether to install the 32bit version or the 64 bit version.  This is my debut with mac so want to get it right.  If you know the answer can you possible explain to me the difference of the two systems.
    The main reason for me to do this is so that i can run outlook 2007 so as i can use my work database that is run through outlook.  You help would be greatly appreciated.

    I would get the 64 bit version since newer macs are 64 bit.  Lion is a 64 bit operating system, for example.

  • Optional plugins for Photoshop CS6 - installation advice?

    Where should I / how should I install the Lighting Styles folder and the 8bf, 8bi and 8ba files included in the optional plugins for Photoshop CS6? (Win 32)
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Heather

    Hi Heather,
    If you  have the 64-bit version of either of these OSes, then:
    Windows 7 and Vista (32 bit): Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder
    If you have the 32-bit OS version, then: Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder
    The Lighting Styles folder just needs to be in the same directory as the LightingEffects plug-in.
    Secondarily, why are you wanting to use the legacy plug-in? Is it because you don't a video card that can enable OpenGL drawing?

  • Installation Advice needed for NX6600GT TD128E

    I just recieved my VGA card and my MotherBoard should be here in a few days. MotherBoard will be MSI K8N Neo4 Plat Ultra. I have read on this forum that it may be best to not install the MSI software for the VGA card. Is it better to just go to the Nvidia site and use there software for the VGA card? The disc I recieved with the card has a lot of programs on it, such as all of the following:
    VGA Drivers - Live Update - GoodMEM - LockBox - WMIinfo - SecureDoc - EColor - Adobe Reader - MS DirectX - Norton AntiVirus
    ThinSoft BeTwin - Media Ring Dialer - D.O.T
    My question is, what exactly of the above items would I really need from this disc if any? All suggestions are appreciated greatly. I am installing a 2 GB Kit of Crucial DDR 500 PC4000  3.4.4.8  2.8 Volts and the CPU will be AMD 64 4000 SF.

    Hello Richard; Yes I hear ya on the brewsky while staggering on the keyboard or mouse, one can make a dreadful mistake at times. I did go to the Nvidia download site and got the following Drivers and will install them in that order. I plan to burn them to a CD so they are ready to go when needed.
    Nvidia Nforce Drivers; V 6.66
    Geforce Graphics Drivers; V 78.01
    Nforce Audio Drivers; V 4.62 ( if needed? )
    While looking for DirectX 9, on the Microsoft download site, I see that it is incluced in SP2 which I have. I also used a program from softpedia ( AutoStreamer V1.0.33 ) to slipstream my OEM XP Pro and SP2 CD onto 1 slipstreamed CD. This should from what I have been reading, make the windows install a little less painful. We shall see. I thank you for your professional wisdom and dedication to helping others like myself that have to struggle somewhat when putting a system together. I am ordering my MotherBoard and CPU next week, those are the only items left to buy for my new builid.
