Currently waiting for the usb key boot utility to finish, will post progress updates when I get them. I got my AOA and it would just hang at the Enter your time zone screen.
Thanks for your help! All is well. Uncle gave me AOA Has xp sticker on bottom. I think he reformatted and did away with restore partition. He put Vista on it. I want to get xphome back on it and use the key that came with. I am not sure where to start. End User. The first thing to check is that the restore partition is indeed missing. If the restore partition really is gone, you might try finding a spare Windows XP installation CD it will need to be the same version of XP, including service pack, that is listed on the XP license sticker.
I had vista installed and I had a surprise when trying to restore XP in my acerone and.. Thanks for posting your very clear instructions Random. I presumed at any point I could just boot from the recovery partition and get back to out of the box state — How wrong I was! You should be able to use steps similar to those I posted above. The main trick is setting the restore partition to be active and bootable, so that your BIOS will find it and load up the restore software.
It is failing on second source file 60EA Anyone willing to post MD5 checksums for the D2D image files so I can check whether mine are corrupt? Awesome guide! Works like a charm, only hick-up I encountered during the procedure was the hassle of making the USB device bootable.
Your guide was excellect…although not for newbies…but if you know what you are doing, it works like a charm. Followed the above to the letter. If you quickly hit the power button two times, it usually boots correctly. If I personally have to set up a system with windows as some people who I want to help do want me to do sometimes … this is what I would use:.
Moon Secure AV is an opensource antivirus currently using the clamav engine due to fast response time and huge AV database, however we are implementing another engine that is heuristic and will allow users to customize the engine on the fly. Unlike clam it has an enterprise level real-time scanner. It is built for windows and will run on XP and vista. It can scan portable drives and fixed drives. It is able to detect viruses, Trojans and spyware. Our vision is to release an enterprise level antivirus, which can be used in any windows environment.
The aim is to provide a superior antivirus capable with competing with the market leaders and still at the same price, free! We aim to be part of an opensource suite which will allow all users to still use the environment they are comfortable with but benefit from the terrific opensource community.
Are you serious? You can buy XP versions of the Acer right out of the store. I agree. Vodafone is sponsoring an open source development group to bring support for these 3G USB wireless network connections and other hardware. My god it was SLOW, even when disabling everything. It was much much better. In my experience with several xp boxes and several linux boxes, the linux ones generally feel more responsive.
Dont get me wrong Windows XP is great, but I think it suffers when you have a few resource-intensive processes running at once. One bad connection pulls all explorer windows to a halt. Another example is when you put a cd into the cdrom drive — the whole system stops for a few seconds while it tries to read from the disk.
Linux just seems to deal with IO and overall system load so much better — probably its server roots coming into play i guess. And this is just in my experience so others mileage may vary. Yup, I used ext2. Many people forget that Windows XP is actually a very mature, stable, and highly optimised piece of kit. It takes some work, but it can be made to run properly on a lot of old crap — and this netbook, in case we forget, has a hyperthreading processor running at 1.
The big problem with Ubuntu is not so much the OS itsellf, but the applications. So all you know to do is slap Ubuntu on he netbook, not knowing first thing about Linux obviously. For you, it might — for me, in this specific case? XP is the winner for me. But hey, I am a man of science, and I want to see something with my own eyes before passing judgement. Maybe I already looked over all the offerings, and concluded that none of the 3G modems included work flawlessly on Linux?
Ext2 is indeed not a journaling filesystem, but it is getting quite venerable now and it has the worst performance of filesystems that you could choose for Linux. Note that FAT32 is not one of them. The difference is so screamingly obvious — the Firefox user interface is supersluggish on Linux.
Did you use ext2 on SSD? Of course, you must have had very slow performance with ext2! It has been around for quite some time now and jffs3 will soon replace it. I can also say that the wireless speed was better under WinXP. That probably helped Firefox to be faster. Precisely so. Uhm… What are you guys complaining about? You guys would have a point if I used a log-structured filesystem on Windows, but not on Linux, and then compared performance of the two.
The next step is setting up a striped volume across the SSD and an SD card, which supposedly gives a massive speed bump. TXT 8. It has been heavily cludged since then, but it still lacks even elementary features needed by a modern OS. Good luck with your system security running with FAT, Thom. It just happens to work tolerably well with SSDs. Almost by accident, really … certainly not by design. So if you want to actually compare speeds, and you yourself have said that you believed writing to the SSD by firefox was the cause of the slowdown.
BTW, if this were true, would happen in Windows to the same extent as in Linux, since firefox is the same codebase. So if you actually wanted to draw a fair comparison to Linux, you should actually use a filesystem that can support Linux and also happens to be suitable for use on a SSD. That is all, Thom. No-one is having a go at you … rather just pointing out the disjoint in your logic where you seem to have concluded that XP is faster when in fact what you did was compare XP on a cut-down capability and hence faster filesystem to a hobbled Linux install that was nowhere near as tuned to your hardware.
In your hurry to defend Linux-no-matter-what like you do in every story on OSNews, you made a generalisation that I most certainly did not make anywhere in the article. Of course, as always, your mileage may very , especially on other types of netbooks with different specifications. You make it sound like linux and Windows are equal and should be equal. However, you should make it clear that linux is slower when used just like Windows, not when you use it as it should be used.
You can not modify one bit on a SSD, you have to modify and merge the whole erase block. On the other hand, seek time is negligible. This is very different than floppy. On the other hand, a file system specifically tuned for SSD will take advantage of the good features and mitigate the bad features. With jffs2, you can also have your data compressed and the compression is tuned for erase block size before writing, which makes it significantly faster than writing the raw data.
On the other hand, a file system tuned for slow computer will not use compression because it will slow down the system significantly. A little bit slower booting and shutting down time, but not that bad because all data is written in one chunk, and that makes the erase block problem less of a problem.
