ok heres what im doing. i’ve just downloaded linux and ran the live cd and im gonna stick with it. so i want to install it and i just bought a external harddrive (320 GB simpletech harddrive) because i dont want to partition my drive and i want to install it on the external harddrive, but i dont know if its bootable or not so everytime i boot my machine and the usb cable is plugged in it’ll boot up in ubuntu and vice versa. but if dosent work then i’ll just have to transfer my data to the external and partition my disk with majority of the space. i dont know if i eplained it well enough. i hope you get my point. thanks.

i have windows xp by the way.
ok i checked my bios, and i dont have the usb option, what do i do? should i backup my primary hdd to my external and partition my primary and install linux.

I have windows xp preinstalled on my dell laptop in disc ‘c’,I have enough space on my disc ‘d’ and want to install linux there,so how can I do it? Do I need to partition? Is it automatically gonna be installed there (on disc ‘d’) when I boot with Ubuntu live cd? Am I going to lose my data and files on disc ‘c’ and ‘e’ if I install ubuntu this way?
Thanx lots.

Removing Grub Bootloader?

Posted on January 7, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

Ok, so we have a Dell Optiplex running Ubuntu and Windows on two Hard Drives (XP on one, Linux on the Other) Well, it was working beautifully, well, me and my friend decided that we were gonna try to make our own linux using Linux From Scratch, well, that wiped the Hard Drive (the Linux one) so we gave up after having difficulties, well, now when we try to boot into windows, we get the Grub screen, and it says “GRUB Loading stage1.5.
“GRUB loading, please wait…..
Error 15
then nothing happens, we don’t have a Ubuntu live CD anymore, and i think i can get a windows recovery CD, we also have a USB stick running Slax Linux that we could use, how do we fix this problem?
I actually found a windows 98 recovery cd lying around and got it fixed using the fixmbr command, thanks though
