shanenin Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 are you sure xh1145dse is the correct model number? I was not able to get any hits on it using google. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ubuntu should recognize your modem. if not lets cross that bridge when you get there.as for loading windows drivers. thats fine.. it does not effect what Linux will do .rules for dual booting.load windows first.use a live CD like knoppix to create partitions on the second drive xhost +sudo suqtpartedthis will start a partitions tool "like" partition magic.

robroy Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 ubuntu has a built in partition mam\nager that does give the option of installing to a second drive. I have just installed it on an older comp. My only problem is with the grub dual boot loader that apparently doesn't like windows2000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martymas Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 ok im looking forward to getting ubuntu on my sys i like any linux oses but i found you have to be right on targetespecially with a dual boot with xpwhen i had mandrake windows used to block the mbr and i couldnt access the hdd that had mandrake but forme to have a sys i had to use xp until i was able to get help with linux now i have ubuntu i like the look of it ive seen it on a stand alone sys and i like the look of it i emailed the company for a cd and they sent me six of them to give away and naturally i gave one to my self .when reformatted i tried it on a spare drive and i liked it but couldnt get the modem configured but with iccaros'shelp. it looks as tho i may be able to get over that hurdle so ile probably be up all night loading ubuntu so wish me luck marty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
