Converting Windows 7 To Linux?

Jan 20, 2012

I have a Gateway netbook pre-installed with Windows 7 Starter. In just 7 months it has got viruses and is full of error messages, not able to uninstall the programs causing this mess, and my web browser keeps redirecting me to alternate websites which I never typed on the address bar. I am sick and think about completely deleting the whole C disk from the Windows 7 (backup my files first) and try to replace Windows 7 with some type of free Linux OS. My netbook has no CD drive nor floppy disk drive, only USB drives. My questions are:

1. Can I really get rid of all the Windows 7 files already pre-installed?

2. Can I install and run Linux OS efficiently in my netbook?

3. How can I install Linux OS on my netbook from a USB flash drive?

Does Windows 7 Have Anything Like The Linux Chroot

Mar 1, 2011

Does Windows 7 have anything like the Linux chroot?I have an application where some of the parameters lock up the system requiring a cold boot.I appear to be one of the very rare users with this problem.I'd like to run through more parameters to give the developers more specific information about what might be causing the problems. As you can understand, hitting a param and crashing can get tedious really quickly.I'm hoping there is a process that let's me isolate the app so when it crashes I can close it gracefully rather then cold booting.

File-sharing From Windows To Linux?

Jan 6, 2012

i have a small web server running Fedora 15 and Apache, and I have a "pictures" folder on a windows machine that I have mounted from my /etc/fstab file, with "rw" access, however when I try to use a freeware PHP script in this particular folder, it doesn't display properly (won't show subfolders).I created a new folder directly on the linux machine, and the script works fine there.

Here's the setup:D:SharedPics - windows ntfs folder, shared as \winserverpics, and this share is mounted as /var/www/html/pics with RW access (although the username/pw I supply in .smbcreds file has "full" access.) PHP script does not work here.All linux permissions show rwxr-xr-x for files and folders, and owner is "root:root"I copied all of the files/subfolders from the "pics" folder into another folder, directly located at /var/www/html/pics1. file/folder permissions are exactly the same as the pics folder. PHP script works fine here.File and share permissions on the windows machine are set for read/write/modify for "Everyone", but it seems that the samba "service" is receiving different permissions. I've checked the smb.conf file and not been able to find anything that would cause "read only" permissions.

Deleted Linux Now Cannot Boot Into Windows 7

Mar 30, 2012

I posted here a little less than a week ago asking how to reclaim the free space from the linux partition I deleted. Today I restarted my computer for the first time and it won't recognize win7 on my computer. Was I supposed to do something after I deleted linux? I tried using my win7 cd to see if I could boot like that, but it just wants to reinstall windows, which I would rather not do.

Combine Linux ISOs With Windows 7 ISO?

Sep 4, 2012

This may sound like a strange question, but basically what I want to do is make a DVD that's an "essential Windows reinstall kit".

I do freelance computer repair and most of the computers I have worked on have had some nasty viruses that screw up Windows to the point where it's easier to just reinstall it. Problem is, simply deleting the partition isn't enough most of the time since viruses can infect the MBR and boot sector.

My essential tools are DBAN to wipe the hard drive, GParted to make a partition that fills the drive (to avoid that stupid System Reserved nonsense) and then the Windows installation disc.

DBAN is only about 2MB and GParted is like 120, both of those should fit on a single layer DVD along with the Windows install files.

I am familiar with tools like XBoot and other Linux multiboots that use syslinux or GRUB, but the problem is that Windows 7 is a tricky bugger and will crash if you try to load it using one of those.

Anybody know if there's a way to take a Windows 7 ISO and successfully launch it from a multiboot so I can combine it with DBAN and GParted?

How To Dual Boot Windows 7 And Linux

Jun 28, 2010

I want to install linux along with windows 7 on my Dell studio 15. For this as i have read on the threads that C: drive needs to be shrunk as it is the active partition . And for linux at least 10 GB should be kept as unallocated space . But when i tried to shrink my C: drive then the available space for shrinking is shown to be just 39 MB which is highly insufficient. how to increase this size and install linux on my PC .

PC Not Booting Windows 7 Or Linux - I / O Error Message

Feb 3, 2013

Windows 7 not booting! I have a Medion Laptop and it froze so I forced it off. Now when I load it in any mode (safe mode freezes after avg file) It will go to a black screen or a 0xc0000009 I/O error message. I've run it in start up repair and there aren't any system restore points available and start up repair took 17 hours before I decided to turn it off! My hardware doesn't make any strange sounds and my bios recognises my Hard Drive. Luckily, there's nothing important on the laptop so I don't mind if we have to reset it to factory settings as I have the Windows 7 installation disc as well!
