Re: [Linux-users] Can linux boot even when windows can not?

To conclude, took computer to repair store so they could have a look (got way more parts than I ever will). The result was that while the computer could handle 2x8s from bios boot up the reality was that it could only handle 4x4s On 18.02.2016 21:38, Peter Simmonds wrote: > And before I

And before I forget, Isopropyl alcohol is good for cleaning contacts (both gold fingers on the memory and slot contacts). Meths in my experience is usually alright too. -P On 18/02/2016 11:38, Kent Fredric wrote: On 18 February 2016 at 10:38, Volker Kuhlmann wrote:

Hi All, Perhaps try the commonsense idea first. Were the RAM slots free from dust before you removed them? If not, dust particles will be forced onto the contacts when you insert the new modules. Cheers, Peter On 18/02/2016 10:38, Volker Kuhlmann wrote: On Thu 18 Feb 2016 02:29:32 NZDT

Re: [Linux-users] Can linux boot even when windows can not?

I doubt it is the hard drives as boots fine 7 and 10 if I just use 2x2 gigs ram in same slots, I suspect the computer repair store will blame the hard drive configuration as I admit not ideal as 250g ssd drive with boot and windows 7 C partition, with I partition pointing to partition on 3tb

Peter I think you missed the point of the first post. It was the RAM which was upgraded not the hard drives. Robert Fisher On 17 Feb 2016 9:44 p.m., "Peter Simmonds" wrote: > Hi All, > > How did you actually go about moving windows to the new drive, and if win > 7 or

Re: [Linux-users] Can linux boot even when windows can not?

Hi All, How did you actually go about moving windows to the new drive, and if win 7 or later, did you copy both partitions? If you don't mind, what did you use to copy these partitions? In the past I have successfully used Clonezilla and Redo Backup to copy windows partitions and keep them

[Linux-users] Can linux boot even when windows can not?

Upgraded my computer from 8gig to 16gig and suddenly from my duel boot, linux boots fine, windows 7 home premium does not. Linux shows all 16gig available can go back to old ram and boot up windows 7. Bios shows all 16gig Got ram in slots 1 and 3. Is there something clever that linux
