Other Operating System

Guys,
Somehow i have got an extra internal HDD which is 250gb. so i m planning to install some other operating system just to see how they work. like linux
so i need ur help guys. where can i get the driver if i want to install Linux. and what about Linux Operating system. whre can i have it?

 

Ubuntu is pretty good for having drivers (base drivers) pre-installed and updating them.

 

where can i have it? shall i have to buy?

 

Is it possible to install while my internal hdd is connected via usb port in my system? as i said u guy, i have got an extra internal hdd. so i m planning to get it connected with my xps m1530 by usb port. in that case can i install ubuntu or other os?

 

Hey guy's!

See this section of the forum for some really good info about Ubuntu/Linux.

And, are you aware..you cannot install MAC OSX on a MS operating system??
Plus, your not supposed to discuss it on the forum...huge no no...

Currently, Apple's EULA(End User License Agreement) prohibits installing MAC OS X on any non-apple labeled hardware, and because of this, NBR does not allow discussion of OS X on PC(aka Hackintosh) for any reason. Please do not point to any resources that violate Apple's EULA and/or the forum rules. For discussion on possible reason why Apple prohibits this, please see this thread: Question: Apple OSX - Why not on non-Apple products?

As mentioned, read the stickes in the Linux Compatibility and Software if you are interested in Linux.

 

Guys, i m sorry for that? but u didn't answer my important question. m i b able to install ubuntu in my internal hdd which will b connected with my pc by usb port.

 

Woow.. I didn't know that!..

I must change my signature now..

 

Yes , You can mate , Just download the the latest Build of Ubuntu (8.10)

here is the Link : http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

then burn the iso image on a CD/DVD , then boot into windows with external HDD connected , pop in the CD/DVD you have burned with Ubuntu Linux ISO you will be present with a Wubi installer the simplest of all Linux installation



and this link will answers most of your doubts about it mate

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide

the reason i like Wubi is no need to Partition , resizing hazards just install as do for any other app and uninstall if you don't like it

if done properly you would see the this when you reboot your system

 

I have got dual boot of XP and VISTA, can i install Ubuntu along with them? and as far as i know operating system can not b installed external hdd. so how come u said that it is possible to install ubuntu in my external hdd.

 

because you can?

 

Have you visited the Linux Compatibility and Software forum, at all?
Again, it is very helpful.
