This software, especially when paired with a Linux OS, drastically reduces your chances that even the most sophisticated hackers will be able to thwart your OS installation. The drag and drop feature transparently allows copying or opening of files, directories, and more.Disk Image Encryption: Data can be encrypted on virtual hard disk images transparently during runtime, using the industry standard AES algorithm with up to 256 bit data encryption keys (DEK)
You may need to tweak your BIOS to allow a USB drive to boot.If you have problems with a particular PC, Google that OEM to see how other users have produced a work round for your PC. My thanks to the author! While Safron does have a point about a full installation limiting it to the particular machine, many might not mind that limitation

Use Ubuntu Live CD to Backup Files from Your Dead Windows Computer
As I could not access drives via Windows methods, and all I needed was a couple of settings from my drives, I used my 8.10 ubuntu live cd hoping that I would be able to reach my drives and copy them over to my nas. Or anyone that can suggest a way Thanks again January 13, 2009 richca Not sure if this possibility was in the comments above, but I just used an uBuntu Live CD to boot a Dell laptop that had picked up a nasty drive-by infection while doing research on a website

Log in or register to post comments It isnt hardcoded into Submitted by Ixian (not verified) on Thu, 2007-05-10 09:47 It isnt hardcoded into menu.lst. Not only are there extra files on the iso image, but there's the properties of the iso image files (Joliet and RockRidge extension information) that would all need to be saved on my flash drive
anonymoose If you clone a partition's filesystem, the UUID of the original partition will be tacked on to the new partition as the cloned filesystem is copied over. I'm not claiming to know everything there is to know about UUIDs, but have become quite comfortable managing them lately, so hopefully this post will help you achieve the same
The XenServer built-in templates for popular distributions such as RHEL, CentOS or SUSE Linux already automate all this and are in PV mode from the installer onwards. Any exports or clones will continue to run in PV mode, since the XenServer XVA export format records all of the metadata required to re-create the VM records
Furthermore, whenever handling delicate tasks like the critical functions of the system, disk partitioning, boot sequence, imaging, etc, you should always be prepared for the worst. When will GRUB 2 become the de facto bootloader for UNIX-like operating systems? Currently, GRUB legacy is doing fine and will continue for many more years
Multiple OS Installation -
It will also not affect the primary bootup menu (stored in the boot partition), and each operating system will be able keep its own independent bootup process intact. This can either be left as free space at the beginning of the drive (to be formatted as NTFS by the Windows installer later), or it can be formatted (by GParted, for example) as an NTFS partition with the boot flag set
My main gripe with grub is that unlike lilo, it has no test mode, where you can check that your new menu.lst actually makes sense, and that it's on a filesystem that will be visible to the grub that will boot. Is there a step by step guide to using Grub 2, which is default on Ubuntu 9.10, to install multiple OSes on a computer? I do believe in the updating of tolls even such as Grub, however, it should be easier to install multiple OSes as this is an important thing since there are many flavors of Linux

Downloads PageFind these and more Downloads on the Downloads Page, where you will also find articles references, operating system requirements and categories. Windows 8.1 comes with the tools we need to create a recovery drive (USB Stick, at least 16GB, USB 3.0 recommended if your computer supports it) and a backup of your personal files (depending on your computer, this might be a lot of files, and a network share or larger USB drive might be needed)
dual boot - Installing Ubuntu on a Pre-Installed Windows 8 (64-bit) System (UEFI Supported) - Ask Ubuntu
How to add a Linux entry in the Windows bootloader: It really depends on what you install first and what later, I'm sure there are some guides around the internet to explain a detailed procedure on how to setup a dual+ boot environment. I have been using Windows for all my life, but I have read about Ubuntu (and Linux in general) and I think I'll like it, so I wanted to know how to install Ubuntu on my PC with a Pre-Installed Windows 8 on it
Upstart Intro, Cookbook and Best Practises
Note that the init system itself is not doing the heavy-lifting: that is left up to each service itself (!) This summary is worth considering carefully as the distinction between the two types of system is subtle but important. The problem is that we have provided the value to the instance variable, but we haven't named the instance variable that the given value corresponds to
When booting on a 64-bit Ubuntu disk: If the BIOS is set up to boot the CD in EFI mode, then you will see the screen below: If the BIOS is NOT set up to boot the CD in EFI mode, or if the disk is not 64-bit, then you will see the screen below: Be sure to use the same guide referred to in order to ensure hard drive is booted using UEFI also. Referring to the newer Ubuntu UEFI Guide section 2.4 illustrates this brilliantly Identifying if the computer boots the CD in EFI mode Warning: even if your PC boots the CD in EFI mode, it might boot the HDD in Legacy mode (and the contrary)
Ubuntu:Feisty -
To set up a secure SSH tunnel on a Windows machine, you should set up Cygwin (a mini-Linux installation for Windows) first, selecting OpenSSH under Cygwin as part of the installation process. First way is to add the following parameter to gnome-terminal launcher: --geometry 100x40 Other way is to change this parameter globaly for all gnome-terminal launcher's
Reinstall Ubuntu Grub Bootloader After Windows Wipes it Out
You saved my day :) March 23, 2008 Jim Murray I suggest you add the following command into your procedure to insure the correct HD and partition is selected. I had some unallocated space at the end of the disk so I decided to create a partition with FAT32 file system to make file transfer between Fedora and XP easier
Is this the GRUB you want with the menu.lst file you want to install to MBR in your first hard disk? If that one is really the one you want installed to MBR in your first hard disk, then Code: root (hd1,0) Code: setup (hd0) Code: quit Last edited by Herman; August 18th, 2008 at 07:55 PM. You installed GRUB to MBR in hard disk 2, but the BIOS won't automatically look at hard disk 2 unless you use your F12 key at boot time for a BIOS boot menu
