Rightclick this and choose "New". If you have space left, make another NTFS partition and name it e. When you're done it should look similar to this.
The reason why I don't use Windows to partition the system drive is because Windows creates an additional small MB partition for some system files but I think if you're not using features like Bitlocker, this is just a waste, even if it's just MB!
Installing Windows Now you should have your Windows installation files at hand. If you don't know how to create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows setup files, I recommend reading this or this. Install Windows on the 16 GB partition that you have just created. To revert this we will use PartedMagic again.
As you can see in the "Partition Editor" the third partition is now the boot partition. To change this back to the first partition, rightclick the first partition and select "Manage Flags" from the context menu. Check the "boot" flag as shown here.
You will also need to restore the MBR to the previous state. Start the Terminal application monitor icon with black screen and you get to the system console. The username is "root", the password is "partedmagic". Type the following to download the mbr. If your terminal session looks like this, then everything went fine and you're ready to boot OpenELEC again.
Let's do this! The only thing left to do is to activate the bootmenu. The username is "root" and the password is "openelec". If you want to read more about its options, check out the wiki entry at tinycorelinux. When booting, you get a prompt saying "boot:" where you can enter "windows" to boot into Windows.
Easy enough? I hope this guide will help you to get a better user experience with your Xtreamer Ultra. That way you can easily modify XBMC's profiles folder etc. Thanks alot for that great post! Open navigation menu. Close suggestions Search Search. User Settings. Skip carousel. Carousel Previous. By then, if we're still using Linux or UNIX, surely a 64 bit clock will be employed, which will probably put off the roll over problem for a couple of thousand years. These ramblings are barely a drop in the ocean of knowledge concerning Linux and could probably be much better.
Yet, I hope I've piqued your curiosity and that you'll at least give Linux a try. You really have nothing to lose and a whole lot of fun, adventure, and learning to gain. Linux development since has seen impressive advances with regard to the ease of which a Linux distribution can be installed on your computer. Installation programs have become quite sophisticated compared to the scripts employed several years back.
Hardware detection and configuration have improved to the point where all but the most exotic hardware stands a good chance of being properly configured for your Linux system. What still must be dealt with is making room on your machine for Linux particularly if you have one hard drive partition and only one operating system installed.
There several different ways this can be accomplished and you will want to consult the documentation for the distribution you want to install for its recommendations. On this page I've presented five topics that I think should be explored before installing Linux. Everybody likes to get new software and jump right in to the installation, right? I'm one of those folks who likes to install it first and read about it later, especially when there are problems.
The guide details installing Linux as a second operating system and covers partitioning of the hard drive and how to boot either operating system. Unfortunately, this excellent document has become unmaintained and has apparently been superceeded by Running Linux described below. A trip to your favorite computer book store should give you a choice of several good books on Linux. Running Linux is one of their titles. Now in its fourth edition, Running Linux was updated in December and is highly recommended as a good reference for learning the basics of working in a Linux based system.
When looking for a book in the book store, try to find one that covers version 2. Setup and configuration has changed considerably since the 2. It appears that the 2. Since , when this was originally written, distributions have changed some.
Since that time Caldera has all but disappeared from the scene after purchasing SCO and splitting into two companies, Caldera and Lineo. Lineo now calls itself Metrowerks and concentrates on embedded software systems and Caldera is now The SCO Group and is suing everyone in sight for whatever reason.
Corel has withdrawn completely from the Linux space. Slackware is now on its own and Walnut Creek has apparently been absorbed by Simtel. Debian remains as one of the last independent distributions that has survived from the early days, the other being Slackware. Red Hat has dropped their distribution into a community supported distribution called Fedora that plans to use community involvement to build the base of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The following remains as information.
The most popular distributions are developed, packaged, and sold by commercial entities yes this is allowed under the terms of the GNU Public License for the Free Software they include. Here are a few of the current major distributions in alphabetical order. The development team is a volunteer group dedicated to producing a complete Linux distribution based on Free Software.
As this distribution is the only one developed by a not for profit organization , it is worthy of the support of those of us committed to the idea of Free Software. I am currently working with Debian Testing, a. Debian offers aptitude which is a full screen text utility for package management. In concert with apt a package retrieval utility and dpkg , aptitude allows keeping the system up to date with the latest security releases. Debian is famous for its packaging system being so thorough and stable that systems can usually be upgraded to the next release with at most one reboot to start the latest kernel if desired.
Hams will find Debian to be a good distribution to use as the AX. If it's the ultimate in customization, then Gentoo Linux may be to your liking. This is a distribution that compiles the source and installs the package on your computer allowing complete control and customization of your system. A nice article about Gentoo appeared recently on Linux Weekly News.
The advantage of these distributions is that no installation is required. You simply boot from the CD and you have a working Linux system. Knoppix has been very clever with hardware detection. It's a great way to try a Linux system. Mandrake has been around for a few years and received a running start by basing its first release on a recent version of Redhat. Mandrake has extended the Redhat distribution in many ways and has garnered a large and favorable user base.
Unfortunately, Mandrake has undergone bankrupcy in the past year, but is still fighting the good fight. Redhat is a commercial distribution of Linux. Redhat is positioning their product toward businesses interested in using Linux in the "Enterprise Data Center". Redhat is famous for their Redhat Package Manager which makes installing and removing software quite easy.
Software packages whose names end in. Other packages can be too, you just have to do it manually. Slackware is one of the more popular distributions among the "do it yourself crowd". Slackware is popular with those of us with the hacker bend because it is more of a do-it-yourself system. Even though the learning curve is probably more steep than that associated with most other distributions, in the long run you will gain by learning your Linux system very well and you'll be able fix those little problems that arise.
SuSE includes all the tools and applications one would expect from a current commercial distribution. SuSE's claim to uniqueness lies in its Yast administration tool. SuSE may also be a good choice for the ham considering Linux as traffic on the Linux-hams mailing list indicates a maintainer is active keeping the AX.
This is a sampling of some of the current popular distributions. It is likely that in the next few months today's star distributions could be yesterday's news.
Within recent history Mandrake went from being ideas to one of the hottest distributions and then into bankrupcy. Mandrake is unique that it started with and became extensions of well known current distributions. To get an idea of the extent of current Linux distributions check out Linux Weekly News and follow the Distributions link. Like everything else, this information is quickly becoming outdated. The newer versions of Windows seem to be much more sensitive to dual-booting and resizing of partitions.
The information below is several years old and may not reflect the current state of the art. I'm leaving it here for a technical reference and aquired knowledge is never totally useless.
As I alluded to above, grabbing a couple of texts on installing and running Linux will prove its worth once you decide to actually take the plunge.
The very first thing you'll need to do is find some space to install your new Linux system. Most likely your machine is one of the popular PC architectures, has a or newer processor and has one large hard drive that is partitioned and formatted as your drive C: under DOS or Windows.
While you will still need some of that space to add more stuff to your Win side of the computer, most of that space can be dedicated to Linux. If you're really lucky, your large hard drive has been partitioned into a primary partition and one or more logical DOS drives in an Extended DOS partition.
If this is the case, then your life is considerably easier! Another option is to add another hard drive. With drive prices as low as they've ever been, this is a serious option as it has the least impact on your existing setup.
Let's start with what should be the easiest way to add more drive capacity to your computer, installing a second hard drive. Most drives these days are IDE Integrated Drive Electronics and standard bus interface cards allow two drives to be "daisy chained" together on the same cable.
The concept is the same, in this case position on the cable determines master and slave The catch is that one drive must be the Master and the other the Slave. The drives actually have jumpers on them that will need to be set appropriately. Make sure you have technical literature for each drive available as well as documentation for setting the BIOS if it doesn't have a drive search feature. Finally, before ordering that new hard drive, you might wish to verify that only one drive is currently installed!
