Ubuntu - Final Word: Ubuntu Has A Clear Right Of Existence In It's Area
Apr 29, 2008the main audience is "Vista" users. People who already spent a lot of money for an operating system, which they do want to use now. Ubuntu has a clear right of existence in it's area, but not in this group. If you like it better, fine. But don't try to spread your "religion" here when someone asks for help about a Vista problem.

Jun 4, 2008My hard drive went south so I had to reinstall Ubuntu. I timed it and it took exactly one hour to install Ubuntu, download and install 124 updates, all the programs I use and tweaking Compiz Fusion to my liking. Windows XP, OTOH, on the same drive, took DAYS to finish.

Jun 12, 2008Just bought a new HP Pavilion DV2860 notebook. For a couple of days I have been using Vista and I didn't really like it. Many of the applications that I used to use in on Windows XP are not capiable with Windows Vista! I have got a Windows XP Professional 64-bit edition CD and was planning to install Windows XP on the notebook. Can I use 2 operating systems on the notebook? I don't want to delete Windows Vista but I want Windows XP.

Jun 16, 2009I recently installed the vista Ultimate 32 bit after using the 64 bit for several years . The reason behind that was i missed using some software and my Epson Scanner. I have reinstalled the 64 bit twice. First time i deleted the Program Files Windows old without an issue , Second time i could not delete it. When i installed the vista 32 bit , there it was again but i let the updates finish , defraged The drive and found that the windows old created a Program Files X 86 folder and there was all my old 64 bit software and drivers. I could delete all but the common files , windows Collaboration, Windows Media Player.
My Question : Is / Was this Normal ? I don't think so. How do I Delete This? windows old Folder in C drive ? and the Program Files X 86 folder? Should I start over? There was never an option for the windows old Folder. It was bought and paid for. I have also posted this day about two other issues in the Media Center. It can not get the right TV Guide listings and the other was my Display will not turn off when the PC is off. The monitor just displays the "no signal" message.
choose "drive options" then format the partition you intend to install the OS to and that will do away with the Windows.old folder. since i now have the 32 bit version installed, and i reinstall the 32 bit again, I'm guessing the windows old 64 bit program files will not be there except what I cant or have not yet deleted will no longer be there. Considering That I have another question now. If I do manage to create a Partition in Drive C How can i use that second Partition to store all of the restore points or other related files? I have a second Drive 1 TB. in the past windows used it automatically to store backup files. Especially for the complete PC backup ...

Nov 3, 2009When you are installing a new windows after booting from a CD, when it asks you how big in terms of bytes you want it to be, is the number originally there, the biggest it can be (my number was something like 3000000 bytes)? Also, when I look at my C drive in my compter, it says 142 GB free of of 298, which means it totals to be 340 GB, but the box the laptop came with says it has 320 GB total...could this have to do with the confusion about how many MB is in a GB? Because some people say 1024 MB in a GB and so forth. Also I notice on my dell dimension e310 There is this bar blocking a space for a driver, you can see the one for floppy disc on there, but that is blocked my a bar as well. How do you remove them, can it be done only from the inside?

View 5 Replies View RelatedBackup Before Installing Windows 7 In Dual Boot
Jul 29, 2009i want' to try windows 7, but i don't want to lose vista since windows 7 is just an RC and could still cause some crashes. my option is giving dual booting a try. i have read many tutorials on how to do it, and im pretty confident that i can do it. the problem is, i don't have DVD's to backup my vista, and i still dont know yet how many DVD's my files will consume if i have 50-60 GB in my drive C:i also have external DVD writer, but im not sure if that will work flawlessly since it's external.
My questions are: can i install windows 7 on a different partition without booting from DVD? (I installed my vista over XP without booting from DVD). can i install windows 7 on a different partition using a virtual drive? what are the chances that windows 7 installation will fail during installation? can i still boot vista if windows 7 installation fails? is it possible to do system restore if installation and vista won't boot? and finally, is windows 7 worth the trouble and risk of going thru all these? i will base my decisions on your answers since this is the most intellectual vista forum i've seen so far.

Ubuntu Under The Spotlight
Oct 7, 2009Ubuntu, it is generally well known, as being behind Windows Vista or 7 in the sales department, possibly on a scale of about 50-1. Normally, sales indicate popularity on a product. We can also assume from these figures that volume of sales could also indicate a certain quality of that product.
Therefore, on that assumption, the 50-1 deficit that Ubuntu lags behind in the sales department, is possibly not even the 2nd best nor even the 3rd or 4th best OS come to think of it. I therefore pondered on this question. Why on earth should I settle for second best, let alone third or fourth best? If they can afford it, most people in life want the best. That is why I will be buying Windows 7 this month...........
Why So Many Ubuntu Retards?
Mar 30, 2008It seems that people who troll here have nothing better to do. They think Ubuntu is the greatest product since sliced bread. Yet they come here day after day, trying to get people to switch to that inferior product. Ubuntu is for nerds. The reason they come here is they can't use Ubuntu so they do the next best thing. Come to the vista group and try to get people to convert. Most people are smart enough to see through all that crap. People want to use their Windows Vista or Windows XP. They don't need or want some stupid piece of crap like Ubuntu.
