I know this is a Linux list, that's why I can talk about Windows 7 getting in the way of installing Linux on an Asus Eee PC with a 1.6 Ghz atom processor, 1 gig of ram, 250 GB hard drive, web camera built in, 14 hour battery life, and well that probably about covers it. This is the one that costs about $379.
No media disks provided. I'm having the store inquire about getting them. My dad's HP laptop has the same problem I found out. If I have to back up this Windows 7 system using Linux, can I do better than dd'ing the whole entire drive? I want to dual boot, the hard drive should be big enough. The trouble is, how do I reinstall the boot loader without installation media? Do I need to dd copy the first four megs of the drive? Do I copy certain files off under Linux? The gentoo based system on CD that I have doesn't boot correctly on this machine, so I can't use a resizing tool :-( I wonder if NTFS-3g which I have a full implementation of now is good enough? I'm about ready to suggest buying another hard drive and popping the Windows 7 drive out in case the computer has to be taken in for servicing. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
